Get Inspired: From Green-Eyed to Green Days

You’ve seen it… Traders posting their wins on X.

And it might make you wonder…

“What does it REALLY take to succeed?”

When inexperienced traders see others posting wins, it usually brings out one of two conflicting mindsets.

Jealousy or inspiration.

Before you get overwhelmed by green-eyed envy, consider this…

Every one of those traders you see posting used to be right where you are now.

It might have been two months ago, or two years ago (it doesn’t matter which).

What matters is that you understand the choice they made to get where they are now.

I’m sure you believe in hard work, studying, and growing your knowledge account.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t be reading this.

But there’s 1 mindset shift you MUST make to succeed.

And it affects everyone, including you…

When you decided to start trading, there was a mental process that got you there.

Maybe someone introduced you to the idea.

Or you read an article about how apps like Robinhood or WeBull make it easier than ever to get started.

So you started looking into it. At some point…

You Crossed Two Mental Thresholds

1. Trading is real and you can potentially make money at it.

2. There ARE people who are successful at it.

What comes next is crucial.

It’s also where a lot of new traders get stuck.

Because there’s a third threshold you MUST cross…

“This can work for me.”

You have to believe it. Deep down…

You can’t just say it (or even “think it into reality”).

It has to become part of who you are.

Those people who put down successful traders or troll them on X…

Are only so pathetic because they don’t believe (and they have nothing better to do with their time).

They’re stuck with “I know this works … I know some people are successful …. but not me.”

Whether conscious or unconscious, their lack of belief is holding them back.

So, while “not me” might be true for them…

It’s NOT true for you.

Rather than green-eyed envy, focus on getting inspired (it’s MUCH more powerful).

And remember, with both money and emotions, we all face…

The Zigzag Line of Success

You’ve probably experienced this.

One day you’re inspired, the next you see someone else did better than you and you feel jealous.

Look for inspiration. This is YOUR journey and nobody else’s.

Jealousy won’t grow your account, but getting inspired by traders who are further along can change everything.

Get Inspired Because It Changes Lives

Who’s ready to make May your best month EVER????

Daily inspo: You can do anything in this life. Dream BIG, Study HARD.

No matter where you live, how little money you have, what your background is and what mistakes you’ve made so far, recognize this is the most fascinating time in human history.

A time where you literally have UNLIMITED upside potential thanks to technology, information and democracy.

Your past does not define you.

It’s your mindset, work ethic and level of dedication that will define your future.

So study/work as if your future absolutely depended on it … because it does!

I hope THIS gives you a little inspiration for the week!

Now go crush it.
