 1) Meet investment prerequisites: make sure you have taken care of basic needs such as: food, shelter, clothing, and have cash reserves available for emergencies (Smart, Gitman, & Joehnnk, 2017,p.14).

 2) Establish investment goals to direct you towards the correct type of investments to make to: (a) accumulate retirement funds, (b) enhance income, (c) save for major expenditures, and (d) shelter income from taxes (Smart, Gitman, & Joehnnk, 2017,p.14).

 3) Adopt and investment plan: once you have established your goals create a written plan that includes time frames and risk levels you are willing to take (Smart, Gitman, & Joehnnk, 2017,p.15).
 4) Evaluate your investments by assessing the risk and return potential, this topic will be studied further in the e-textbook (Smart, Gitman, & Joehnnk, 2017,p.15).
 5) Select suitable investments after you complete due diligence and determine how much risk you are willing to take (Smart, Gitman, & Joehnnk, 2017, p.15). 
 6) Construct a diversified portfolio to avoid putting all of your eggs in one basket; you will be able to earn higher rates of return while reducing risk through diversification (Smart, Gitman, & Joehnnk, 2017).

 7) Manage the portfolio of investments to make sure the actual performance is close to the expected performance or rebalance your portfolio if needed (Smart, Gitman, & Joehnnk, 2017).
