MOT 54 Podcast - Use Circumstances to Build Discipline

Duration: 11:57 min

Show Notes

One of the greatest stumbling blocks to achieving success in the important aspects of life is circumstances.

We seem to use them to get us off track or keep us from continuing to the end.

On the other hand, successful people use circumstances to drive them towards their goals.

As a trader, we all need to understand that there will be times when things arise that could easily cause us to make huge errors, become lazy in our decisions or even quit.

Instead, let's use the bumps in the road to grow and to become a more powerful and disciplined trader.

    Steve,

    I honestly can't thank you enough for putting the time into these podcasts for us. They are absolutely life changing and so dynamic when it comes to dealing with the trader's mind. Actually they have changed my life and I am sincerely grateful with all of my heart to you for making them available to us!!!!

    You are so right on the money with this new one about our decisions shaping our circumstances. Always being in that state of mind that is learning from past experience and growing from it. Truly making the decision to move forward with our trading and create the circumstances we want rather than being victims and statistics of people who choose not to be personally responsible for their success.

    I am reminded of Thomas Edison who learned 10,000 ways not to make a light bulb before he actually learned how to make it work. Eventually we run out of ways to fail if we persist without exception. If our desire and vision is strong enough to "make it happen" as you say in this podcast and with that burning desire we push on through to the brink of greatness.

    The rewards here in trading forex can be unlimited and propel us to the most amazing life we could ever dream of!

    Thank you Steve for being a Leader and assisting us in learning the mindset to stay the course :-)
