"No man ever reached to excellence in any one art or profession without having passed through the slow and painful process of study and preparation."
- Mark Douglas
Percentage of restaurants that fail within five years: 80%
Percentage of college athletes that go pro: 2%
Percentage of actors that “make it”: 2%
Percentage of traders that are able to make a living: 5-10%
The trap here is that people see these numbers and think that doing any of these is nearly impossible
The truth is that most people who attempt these endeavors are under prepared, inconsistent, emotional, and quit too early
Here’s the reality if you have the balls to fucking go for it:
100 people try
70 don’t take it seriously
20 quit when it gets hard
8 stay inconsistent
2 actually lock in
Those 2 are your real competition. Lock in and get to work 🔥
Every hour of backtesting, every lesson from a red day, and every journal entry is quietly building your foundation. Don't quit right before your own breakout. Consistency pays.

Always go to the funeral. Always go to the hospital. You don't need to know what to say.
In times of profound crisis, people don't remember your words, they only remember whether you showed up for them at their lowest moment.
