OK let's be honest.
Are you just going to be all talk or are you willing to let your
actions speak for you?
People say talk is cheap and in trading this is definitely true
Words mean nothing. Actions mean everything.
Are you going to be yet another person who tells themselves "this year I'm going to follow
this strict routine and by the end of the year I'll be closer to my goals".
but after just a few days of doing this, they begin to realise the routine is tedious.
It's boring, it's difficult. They start cutting corners. They start looking
for shortcuts. They knew at the start of the year that becoming
a profitable trader took time and patience, but after just a few weeks of hard work they're
ready to throw in the towel. They want the end goal to come sooner. But
they haven't put in the work to justify the end success.
Have you ever seen a long distance runner going too fast too early? Trying to rush way
before they get anywhere near to the finishing line?
Do you know what happens?
They lose.
Do you know what happens to new traders that rush before they're ready?
They lose too.
So let's not be that person. Let's have some integrity and match our actions
to our words.
If we know trading takes time, let's treat it with that respect and take things slowly.
Let's not get frustrated at a lack of big progress and instead appreciate the small
bits of progress that accumulate and compound.
Let's find the areas where we can make a 1%
gain in our skills, understanding and ability.
Let's take on the attitude of a winner.
When we look at the stories of successes in trading and investing, they had to grind to
get to where they are now. It wasn't just smooth sailing all the time.
Like any journey, you know your end destination. You know where you are right now. But the
time or the route that you take to get there may vary. Just accept that and keep plowing along to
your goal. Become a relentless machine and stop giving into set backs.
Who are you to expect that anything should be handed to you on a plate?
Fix that delusion
and fix it right now.
Today I know there are plenty of people sitting there thinking about quitting their goal for
this year. They expected it to be easier or quicker and
now they're looking for excuses and for easy ways out.
Don't be that person.
Change your attitude.
If you say you're going to do something, do everything in your power
to make it happen.
Be strong and keep grinding on.
I believe in you.
Start believing in yourself as well.
