I dropped out of college 8 months ago.

I’ve been learning to trade for 7 months.

My first 5 months I lost $1,000.

I’ve done well the past 6 weeks. (Doesn’t guarantee future success)

I know where I’m going and short term losses won’t hold me back.

When failure comes we can either let it stop us from going after the life we want

Or

We can learn from those failures and keep pushing forward.

As I progress on my journey I want you to see where I started.

In the scheme of life I have just started.

I still live at home with my mom.

I study 6-10hrs every day.

As @garyvee says, “You can’t expect to live a 1% life if you’re not willing to work like the top 1%”

I recognize this and that is why I work hard every single day.

Why do I work hard each day?

I want to provide a life for my family so that I can be present with my time.

Family is #1 in my life.

I’ve realized that to continue on your journey you MUST have a major reason to keep pushing on.

If you are reading this and you don’t think that you have any value to provide, just share what you’re going through.

Doing this will help more people than you know.
