Going to the gym is like investing.
Here me out...
There are some similarities to investing and working out.
You need a membership and typically a trainer to succeed.
I want to see you succeed, so in this episode I break down the best mindset you can have as a beginner investor or trader...
Let's get into it:

How can you succeed without...?
When you start working out, typically you need a membership to the gym.
It costs money.
When you start to invest, sure you could piece it together on Youtube...
But there's nothing like getting a course or program where they have the right equipment, software, etc for you and teach you HOW to trade correctly.
And then you can take it a step further...
You can get a personal trainer with working out.
Which provides a ton of benefits, including:
-They will push you to do things that you wouldn't do on your own
-They give you accountability - when you have an appointment with them you have to stick to it
-They will see things that you don't
-They know the right strategies for the best improvements
It's the same with getting a coach in the stock market or investing.
How to Get RESULTS...
When I left with my personal trainer today, I felt better about myself.
But after 1 or 2 appointments, you don't necessarily see results yet.
It takes some time to see a change.
But with the stock market...
It takes time to learn. But you see PROGRESS and you will get RESULTS.
You will get pushed out of your comfort zone when you have a program or course.
You learn things perhaps you wouldn't have learned without it.
And then when you start to apply them overtime and see results...
Oh man it makes it so worth it!
What counts as "winning"?
With respects to going to the gym, "winning" isn't just measured by how you look.
It's also measured by:
-How you feel
-If you're getting more consistent
-If you have learned more techniques
Same thing with the stock market.
Winning doesn't just mean making money.
It also looks like:
-Feeling confident in what you learn so you open an account
-Having an intelligent conversation about the stock market or investing
-Each time I trade, I am learning new strategies and techniques
It takes time to learn, just like it takes time to train...
But then you start seeing results. You feel more confident. And you start making money.
