Your biggest financial decision is your partner
Nobody talks about this enough.
The right woman will see your potential before you fully see it yourself. She'll pour into you, push you, and challenge you to grow into the man you're supposed to become.
Over the past 1-2 years, I've 5-10x'd my income. And I won't pretend that happened in isolation… my partner was a big factor.
In May 2025, Joyce and myself both stepped up a gear. Dialled in the routine. Got very intentional about what we were consuming and who we were listening to.
We poured into each other.
I showed up for her in every way I could. That gave her the security she needed to fully come into herself... to create more, achieve more, and grow into who she's meant to be.
And what I gave to her, she multiplied back.
That's what the right woman does. You give to her and she brings more abundance back into your life than you put out. It's not transactional. It's just what happens when two people are genuinely aligned.
In the months that followed, my trading moved to a completely different baseline.
$20-30k payout months became the norm. We got better in every area of life, together.
Here's what I've come to understand about why it works.
As a man, you carry a lot of masculine energy. Your woman carries feminine energy. When those two forces are aligned... the man stays locked on his purpose. He channels that desire and drive directly into his craft. And the woman, feeling secure and supported, continues to pour into him.
On the other side of that alignment, abundance floods in like it never has before.
If you haven't read it yet, I'd highly recommend The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida. It'll shift how you see all of this.
Pressure builds diamonds... but only when it's channelled in the right direction.
I'll also say this. I had to let go of a few limiting beliefs to get here. One of the biggest was around hard work.
Yes, there's absolutely a time to put your head down and grind. But the belief that all success comes from hard work alone? That kept me stuck longer than it should have.
Once you've done the foundational work, the next level isn't about working harder. It's about learning to operate with more flow. More intention. Doing things seamlessly rather than forcing them.
That's when the real results show up.
The wrong relationship will distract you, dim you down and keep you stuck.
The right one will multiply everything.
Speak soon.

Why traders fall apart right before the payout.
They passed the eval. They started strong. And then, one or two trades from a real payout, they completely lost the plot and sabotage themselves.
I see this constantly.
A trader passes their eval (challenge) with no issues. Gets onto a funded account. Builds it up steadily, trading clean, following the process. And then the payout gets close and everything that was working suddenly stops working.
Not because anything in particular changed... But because the money became real.
Up until that point, the payout was just a possibility somewhere in the future. But the moment it comes onto the radar screen as one or two trades away, something shifts. The mind starts doing the maths. What you could do with it... What it would mean... How close you actually are...
And that shift poisons everything if it's not transmuted in the right way.
What was a clean process of waiting for the right setup turns into searching for trades, even often in poor PA conditions... because the payout is right there and you need it to happen now.
It's the same energy as a man chasing a partner who isn't interested. The more desperate the chase, the further away it gets. It becomes very clingy... It's the same with money and the payout.
Do you ever notice that the people who need the money the most struggle to get it. Yet the people who don't need it, money always follows them?
So in terms of the sabotage, what do you do about it?
You check yourself before the session opens. Not your charts... Yourself.
Are you calm? Do you have a game plan for every outcome, win, breakeven or loss, and do you know what you'll do after each one? Can you genuinely walk away after two trades today regardless of the result? And most importantly, do you have that nonchalant attitude where you'll take a high quality setup if it comes but you're equally fine if nothing shows up?
If the honest answer to any of those is no, you already know what to do. You don't trade today.
That takes more discipline than any entry ever will... but this is required for 'management of oneself'.
Management of self is mastery of self. Every serious trader gets there eventually. The ones who get there fastest are the ones who stop pretending the mental side is secondary.
Before every session this week, take two minutes before you open a single chart. Ask yourself those four questions. Be honest with the answers. If you're not in the right frame of mind, the market will find that out for you and it'll cost you more than a skipped session ever would.
A quick check in ahead of the week 🫵🏼
I’ve been trading for a decade in August, and one thing becomes very clear over time… Trading isn’t complicated.
It only feels that way when you don’t have the right things in place.
Once you do, it becomes simple.
Not easy… but simple.
And after a while, it becomes repetitive.
Mundane.
Years ago, a mentor gave me a book called The Mundanity of Excellence.
The premise is straightforward…
Doing the simple things, over and over, to a high standard… is what creates success in any field.
Trading is no different.
You don’t need more indicators.
You don’t need another model.
You need to do the basics… properly.
Every day.
Your process is everything.
Show up and do the work.
Journal your trades.
Track your data.
Stay open to learning.
That’s it.
There will be days you don’t feel like it.
Days you’re tired.
Days where the vision isn’t as clear.
That’s normal.
That’s where most people fall off.
Because they only show up when they feel good.
But the shift happens when you show up regardless.
For the men reading this…
The baseline is simple.
You show up, whether you feel like it or not.
Same applies to trading.
Same standard.
As Kobe Bryant used to say…
Show up every day and do the work.
There will come a point where things click.
Where the payouts come.
Where you’re operating at a level you once thought was out of reach.
But that version of you is built through repetition.
Not motivation.
So going into this week…
Keep it simple.
Do your start of day markups before you trade.
15–30 minutes.
That’s it.
That’s your edge.
Your success is tied to how well you can execute the basics.
In my snooker days, my coach used to tweak a phrase:
Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance
…to
Prior Preparation Prevents P*ss Poor Performance
It stuck.
Because it’s true.
Set yourself up properly.
Have a good week.
Now the challenge…
Do this every single day this week, no misses.
We’re all have the same thoughts about props…
When I started in 2016, the two main ways to grow capital and actually be able to realistically trade was to grow your own capital and/or seek investors after acquiring the skill and experience.
With props, especially now we have the futures side, it’s such a great vehicle to scale with very little downside.
But obviously, the firm has to also play its part in rewarding the trader… otherwise what is the point.
I’m around traders every day so I have my ear to the ground.
And as much as there are some great props out there.
The other side of the space is
– Payout issues – Rule changes (behind closed doors) – Things not lining up
So traders start second guessing everything.
There is now a new baseline and industry standard when it comes to prop transparency.
Hola Prime just had a top audit firm ‘Deliotte’ come in and review their payouts from 5 months of data.
Zero denied payouts.
You’ve got to respect it.
I’ll link the report 👇🏼

I’d love to know how much time I invest into brainstorming with AI…
I use multiple times a day as an assistant and a soundboard to spitball ideas and numbers
@HolaPrimeGlobal is a recent firm I've added to the diversification basket.
