If this week was tough for you or today absolutely wrecked you,
You owe your future one more try.
Don’t even think about quitting.
Lock in this weekend with backtesting and create a plan for next week to comeback stronger.
Today, in a world inundated with presence through the flood of images, the game of withdrawal is all the more powerful.
We rarely know when to withdraw anymore, and nothing seems private,
so we are awed by anyone who is able to disappear by choice.
Six bubbles.
Five crashes.
One crash left.
1972 → Nifty Fifty Bubble → Crashed
1989 → Japanese Bubble → Crashed
1999 → Dot-Com Bubble → Crashed
2007 → Housing Bubble → Crashed
2016 → Chinese Bubble → Crashed
2026 → AI Bubble → Cra...
Every cycle looked different.
But every cycle ended the same way.
Follow and turn notifications on.
I'll post the warning BEFORE it hits the headlines.
The S&P 500 has survived Black Monday, the Dot-com crash, the 2008 financial crisis, COVID, and Trump tariffs.
Yesterday's crash did not even make the top 200 biggest crashes in 75 years of recorded history.
I learned how to trade during one of the hardest times in my life.
I was being evicted, I had no income and lost my job due to injuries + awaiting surgery, I was skipping meals while food was running low for my kids, I had failed them as a father.
I knew that I needed to do something different if I wanted radical change in my life.
I knew that my discipline had to match my desperation.
I was broken and wanted to give up but vulnerable lives were depending on me.
I couldn’t let my kids see me down for too long and that is when I put on strength as a man.
I wasn’t online like these unprofitable bums hating on other traders who made it.
I wasn’t scheming to create products in this space to fake the skill.
I deleted all of my socials and went to find my answer in the charts.
I didn’t learn from anyone other than the market.
The Market was my mentor as I had no mentor.
I pulled on the strength and desire to want to give my family a good life and I found the answer in the markets.
I spent 16hrs, 7 days a week for 4 months straight relentlessly on screens and backtesting.
What I came out with created my comeback story.
My kids saw me at my lowest point and they watched daddy rise from the rubble of his own destruction.
They now know that you can make it back from anything.
This is also why I don’t play with people, especially men in this space when it comes to learning.
There’s no way in hell that you have lives depending on you and you’re on here wasting time, watching entertainment, playing video games, in everyone’s business but the one that pays you yet you claim to want to be a trader.
You claim you’re doing this for your family while arguing under democrat and republican tweets.
Get the hell off of the internet if your life is falling apart and GO STUDY.
Everyone will be here when you get back and most people will be in the same place that you left them.
If you’re truly doing this for your Loved ones, HONOR THEM by isolating and fixing the very thing they depend on… YOU!
Do what you NEED to do now so you can do what you WANT to do later.
I don’t regret all the time that I missed with others while pursuing this.
I don’t regret not having balance while learning.
I can now balance my checkbook and give my kids anything they want in the world because of the sacrifice that I made to learn a timeless and generational skill.
If you can’t repeat those words, you need to get off the internet right now because you are failing them with your choices to be here and not locked in.
I outpaced inflation by a long shot and I love the opposite of most people in life that I know.
If you want to live the opposite of others, you have to do the opposite of others.
Do the hard thing NOW so it can be easy later on.
I can be hardcore but I truly want everyone to win… I’ll just never lie to you about your chances of winning with habits of a loser.
