No matter what your opinion is about the statement I’m about to make, it holds true. If you read this lesson all the way through, you’ll understand why.
The wealthy and successful individuals in our world—whether they are business tycoons, professional athletes, movie stars, or top executives—have genuinely earned the success and financial freedom they enjoy.
In almost every case, they work harder and smarter than 99% of the population. They put in the hours, take calculated risks, invest their time, energy, and money, and constantly strive to improve their skills. They do what most people won’t do. They are deeply committed to their craft, spending the majority of their waking hours refining their expertise.
The key difference between those who succeed and those who don’t often comes down to their level of dedication and awareness of what needs to be done. Successful individuals never stop learning. They put in the work, seek out solutions to challenges, and stay committed even when things get tough. They are passionate, disciplined, and willing to take the risks necessary to achieve their goals.
That, my friends, is the price of financial freedom and a prosperous lifestyle—whether it’s through trading, business, sports, or any other field. Most people who attain the good life truly deserve it because they’ve worked relentlessly for it. It’s not about luck or inheritance; it’s about putting in the effort others aren’t willing to.
Where Do You Stand Right Now?
Ask yourself honestly: Are you on the right path to achieving success? Are you aware of what it takes? If you’re overweight, is it because you neglect proper nutrition and exercise? Do you educate yourself about health? If not, then you probably deserve to be overweight.
Now apply that same logic to trading. Do you study the markets every day? Do you take courses, read books, seek mentors, and analyze charts? If not, then you might not yet deserve trading success.
If You’re Not There Yet, Keep Reading…
Even if you’re not successful yet—even if your trading account has just $1,000—you must start thinking and acting like a successful trader. Your mindset needs to align with that of a millionaire long before you actually become one. Here’s how you can start shifting into that mentality.
Do You Even Know Why You’re Trading?
It’s surprising how many traders don’t have a clear reason for trading beyond “I want to make money.” That mindset is a problem.
If you don’t know what you want to achieve, how can you create a plan to get there? Trading without a well-defined goal is just gambling.
You need to take this seriously. This isn’t a game—it’s real money, your money. The financial markets are the biggest stage in the business world. If you don’t approach trading like a professional, you’ll be wiped out.
Being prepared means knowing exactly why you are trading and what your ultimate goal is. If your goal is simply to “make fast money,” you’re setting yourself up for failure. Trading isn’t about quick riches; it’s about long-term growth.
A realistic goal could be: “I want to create an additional income stream to supplement my 9-to-5 job. My first objective is to generate a consistent monthly profit.” That’s a solid and achievable goal. On the other hand, setting an unrealistic goal like “I want to quit my job next month and make $1,000 per day trading” is setting yourself up for disappointment.
Are You Truly Committed to Learning?
Warren Buffett, despite being one of the richest people in the world, still reads and studies the markets daily. He never stops learning. Tiger Woods, after reaching the pinnacle of golf, continues to practice regularly. Why? Because true professionals never stop refining their skills.
Ask yourself: Are you constantly looking for ways to improve your trading knowledge and skills? Do you genuinely enjoy learning about trading, or does it feel like a chore? If you don’t have an innate desire to learn and improve, trading may not be the right path for you.
Are You Here to Gamble or Build Long-Term Wealth?
Are you trading just for the thrill, or are you committed to making money long-term? Many traders claim they want long-term success, but their actions say otherwise.
If you don’t have a well-thought-out trading plan, you are setting yourself up to fail. If you constantly second-guess yourself, it likely means you haven’t developed a solid strategy.
Day trading, in particular, tends to lead to gambling habits. Staring at screens all day, watching constant price changes, and making impulsive trades are behaviors that often lead to losses. That’s why most successful traders adopt a position trading approach, holding trades for days or even weeks rather than making erratic, short-term decisions.
Do You Treat Trading Like a Business?
Every successful business has a plan and a clear goal. Trading should be no different. Most new traders dive in headfirst without a solid plan, throwing money into an account and hoping for the best. This approach is why so many fail. If you don’t have a detailed trading plan, you need to create one immediately.
Do You Think and Act Like a Pro?
If you don’t believe you deserve trading success before you actually achieve it, how do you expect to reach it? The only way to consistently make the right decisions is to first believe in yourself.
Ask yourself: Do you trade like a professional hedge fund manager? Are you calm and strategic, or do you let emotions control your trades? Do you remove the highs and lows from trading and stick to a disciplined approach? If not, you need to start developing these qualities immediately.
Are You Disciplined and Laser-Focused?
To truly deserve success in trading, you need extreme discipline and focus. You must put in the time and effort to master the craft.
Martial arts legend Bruce Lee famously said, “Fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” This philosophy applies to trading as well. Consistency and repetition are what separate the successful from the unsuccessful.
Final Thoughts: Are You Ready to Earn Trading Success?
After reading this lesson, take a moment to reflect on the following questions:
- What steps are you taking to improve your trading knowledge and awareness?
- Are you truly giving your best effort, or could you push yourself further?
- Do you genuinely deserve success in trading, business, and life? What actions are you taking to earn it?
- Are you among the top 1% who embody the dedication, focus, and discipline required for success?
If you realize that you still have work to do, that’s okay. What matters is that you recognize it and take action. I am here to guide and assist you, but ultimately, the hard work, effort, and commitment must come from you.
You might believe you deserve trading success, but if your account balance doesn’t reflect it yet, then the truth is—you still have more work to do. Now is the time to step up, create a plan, and start doing what’s necessary to earn the success you dream of.
