Expectation is about action, while anticipation is about results. Increasing our expectations for something fuels our motivation to act, but at the same time, lowering our anticipations helps reduce the sense of disappointment.
Investing can be seen as having a higher chance of success compared to starting a business, because you're putting your money into companies with stronger competitive advantages. However, whether you're investing or starting a business, you need to accept that you might lose that money the moment you put it in. Put in 100% effort, but don’t get too caught up in fantasies. The outcome will be a natural result of your hard work.

Investing can come in many forms, you can invest your time with potentially minimal expenses to grow some businesses from an early stage. You mention investing in business like it is guaranteed success, but this is not true - many medium/large businesses will eventually decline slowly or even implode rather quickly, so you have to do your homework to make sure your share of invested money does not shrink towards zero. There is definitely truth in your reference to anticipation though, many people still think that "investing" is about doubling your money overnight, or even over the course of one year, but that is simply unrealistic and would lead you down a path of much riskier companies which is likely to fail long term.

Lol... I quite get the gist and you are right on what you wanted us to "do and avoid" but the label is wrong. Both expectations and anticipations should be lowered to avoid disappointment, you can only raise or maintain a reasonable envisage. High expectations are often preached against in investment if we limit the context to it as you mentioned, you can only be optimistic about a high return (envisage), but the moment the expectation is high, if it didn't come as you expected, there is no way you will not be disappointed, we are humans.

However, to apply the factor of safety, just admit that a certain goal is a possibility, so neutralize your expectations, and give it all that is required to realise it. By this, you may earn more or less and you would not be disappointed because you have a neutral mind (expectation) about it.

On the moment that you do step your foot into this market then it would really be just that right that you should really know on how things do works and never make those kind of expectations or antipations.
Actually both things are really just that the same on which there would really be those kind of thinking or mindset that you are expecting something positive. Dealing up with this volatile space will really be
definitely be having that kind of inevitable experience about disappointment and anger specially on the time or moment that your analysis didnt able to hit up.

On the time that you've been expecting something positive but the outcome or result turns out to be that opposite, then as human beings then those kind of reactions will really be common.
Lower your expectation so that it wont really be something that could hurt out. Sometimes people do ends up on being impulsive and this is something not that recommended when it comes into this aspect.
Be versatile as much as you could and never intend to make yourself that too positive or always expecting something good on every trades that you would really be making.

If you raise your expectation, you also need to raise your anticipations to reduce the sense of disappointment. The anticipations here is how you can face the difficulty when you doing something. If you want to start investing, you must learn what it needs including the risks behind that so you will also learn about how you can solve the problem or face a risks. But both investing and starting a business have its risks so you should know how to minimize the risks not to be bigger. The goal from both investing and starting a business is a profit so you must know how to get that profit but you also limit the risks. By doing that, you can run what you want and with having an effort to achieve your goals, you will search for the other ways that can help you to make a profit.

Your post is very interesting, valuable and insightful. You have very nicely distinguished difference between expectation and anticipation In simple words we can say that we should put in our best efforts but maintain realistic expectation for the outcome. You are right that investing money in a company which is well established and maintains impressive track record of performance is better than starting a new business from scratch which is very risky.

I treat "companies with stronger competitive advantages" as big company who have run IPO, not small business or venture.

Anyway, nope, investing in stock doesn't really have higher chance to success because you must have a lot money. Stock doesn't really affect company's profit and company's profit doesn't really affect stock, so if the company make profit and the owners earn from that, it's not necessary mean the stock price will increase.

If you invest in Bitcoin, it's high unlikely you will lose your money.

Hard work ≠ success.

no life's venture is 100% certain that it will yield any positive returns when you go into it and even when you've considered everything there is to be looked into, you still have to understand that success is not 100% guaranteed.

Everyone that invest in Bitcoin expects to gain profit from it and that's the essence of a lot of the speculations and anticipation that people holds regarding Bitcoin getting up the moon. Chances are that it might happen and it's not impossible that it will not happen. To balance our expectation and the possible reality that exist, it's best to invest having a back up plan on ground which is the main reason why it's advisable to invest only what we can afford to loose.

Both operate differently, so it's not fitting to compare the chances of success neither is there data to back it up.

you need to accept that you might lose that money the moment you put it in.

With this acceptance you need to regulate how much you invest, and only put amounts you can afford to lose. Many people apply this to investments, but when stating a business lots of people go all in with their time and resources, they sometimes source for more investments from venture capitalists to be able to grow the business.

Every investor expects to make some profit from business and investment. But we live in a world that is complex and unpredictable. Sometimes, an investor might experience losses even with a good business plan, execution strategies and risk control systems. This is why it is important not to expect too much from our investments. People who calculate future profits without making room for uncertainties might become frustrated.

Hard work is important but sometimes uncertainties can kill business. Climate change causing environmental havoc is one of the major problems of business. The current flood disaster affecting different parts of the world will kill many businesses. We have to expect the best and also be prepared for the worst.

Off course you are very correct there and this also implies to all aspects of life, both in investment, trading and even gambling, your long term results is determined by how well you build on your experience in that aspect at any particular time, having high hopes is neutral but aspectation sometimes is the mother of disappointments, so while having high hopes of positive result, we should be mindful of what and when we aspect that positive results.

Most solid investment don't make a turn over overnight, it takes long term and lots of ups and down to get to that level, I hard a bad experience last night, when I open a trading position on a coin, and instead of me to give it a long time, I closed the position immediately I saw that the price of the coin decreased which put me at a lost, but as at this moment the coin have done 3x of the entry price.
