In the FOREX industry every mentor has a sad poverty story , from selling muffins to sweets to simcards etc
The aim is to make people relate to them
People relate to poverty stories or struggles , because it makes them think if this person can do it or can overcome this struggle that i am currently facing means i can do it too
MOST OF WHAT YOU DO:
- decision making
- desires
- impulses
- behaviours
- preferences
- what you focus on
- what you ignore
- what you tolerate
- what you believe is possible
- how you respond to pressure
…are all driven by parts of the brain that are not conscious to you.
Parts that were patterned, conditioned, and installed over time.
MOST of what we DO is not arrived to through actively THINKING. It is mostly repeated HABIT.
We are program executing machines.
It is IMPERATIVE that you intentionally PROGRAM YOURSELF for success.
The alternative is that you succumb to whatever path your environment happens to shape you into.
Nobody became successful by accident.
MOST people ARE accidents, programmed accidentally and are just mirrors of the garbage they consume.
Don’t be most people.
KEEP IN MIND, ALL WAYS, AT ALL TIMES, the CORE DICTUM of LAMBROS Ω
PROGRAM OR BE PROGRAMMED
Namaste.
Strategy and planning are not the same.
Mix them up and many things break.
Strategy is logic.
Planning is process.
Many people confuse the two.
Jeroen Kraaijenbrink explains this difference exceptionally well.
The confusion exists because the word strategy is overused.
People call everything “strategic.”
Strategic marketing. Strategic finance.
They even use it for personal plans:
“My strategy is to study 10% more every day.”
That’s not strategy.
In business, strategy has a very specific meaning.
If every plan were a strategy, the word would become useless.
Here’s the core distinction:
→ Strategy explains how value is created and captured.
→ Planning explains how to get things done.
Put simply:
→ Strategy defines what and why.
→ Planning defines how and when.
A real strategy is the logic behind value creation.
In “The One-Hour Strategy,” Jeroen describes strategy as six elements:
Market – who you serve and who you compete with
Magic – what you offer (products and services)
Means – assets and capabilities you use
Money – how you make revenue
Momentum – how you use the environment
Meaning – why this all matters
This logic can describe:
Your current strategy.
Your future intent.
Your realized execution.
None of this is a plan.
A plan is about:
Steps.
Timelines.
Resources.
Plans support strategy.
They do not replace it.
Many organizations have goals.
Many have plans.
But they lack the logic behind value creation.
And without that logic, there is no strategy.
P.S. Does your organization truly have a strategy or just a set of plans?

Joe Rogan: “Did you ever think that maybe you were born in the wrong time?
That if you were born in the time of Alexander the Great, that you’d also be a great conquerer too?”
Mike Tyson: “No. I’m a great conqueror now because I’ve conquered myself and my demons.”
The Aftermath of ISandlwana and the opening of the stomachs
After the victory at Isandlwana, some Zulu warriors performed traditional rituals on the bodies of fallen British soldiers. This was not done out of cruelty, but for spiritual and cultural reasons.
Cutting the stomach was believed to “release” the spirit of the dead so that it would not trouble the living or follow the warriors home. It was a way of protecting themselves from bad luck and spiritual harm after battle.
So these actions were part of traditional beliefs and customs during that time of warfare, not acts of hatred or savagery. They reflected how the Zulu understood war, the spirit world, and victory.
WHERE IS THERE GREATER PURPOSE THAN BECOMING MORE OF WHO YOU ARE, EMBODYING THE TRUTH AND MERGING ALL PARTS OF YOUR IDENTITY, EMOTIONS, EGO, MIND, HEART, WILL
TO WORK IN UNISON WITH YOUR BEING RATHER THAN AGAINST EACH OTHER
NO INCOHERENCE, NO INCONSISTENCY
FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT UNTIL ONE
The mental game of trading is about discipline, patience, and emotional control. It’s mastering fear, greed, and doubt while sticking to your edge. Success comes not from reacting to every move but from executing with confidence and consistency.
