 Hello there everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armel with the Stock Swoosh and today I wanted to lecture to you about getting motivated to do what? To trade. I've been teaching people how to trade now for about six years a little bit longer than that and the one big difference I've noticed is that people that are successful that do well with my program are highly motivated and people that that are out there and looking around and coming to webinars and never fully committing to it really lack motivation. They don't want to do the class. They don't want to spend an entire weekend to do the class which you would have to my classes all day Saturday all day Sunday and You also have to get up in the morning wherever you are in the world could be early Even could be late and you have to trade. So you really have to be motivated to day trade. You have to be motivated to do it. It costs money to learn my system. You have to take the time to open an account, the time to learn it, the time out of your life to get up in the morning to reveal it to get good. It takes time. You've got to be motivated. If you're motivated, you can be successful. If you're not motivated it's going to be extremely difficult for you to be successful no matter what you do. You cannot half-ass trading. If you half-ass it, you are destined to lose and so many people half-ass it which is really one of the reasons why so many people lose in the market. If you'd like more information, you can email me at Melissa at the stockswush.com or call me at 929-3200 Gap or follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. So we're getting into the fall change of seasons. It's a good time to review. What did you do this year 2018? What have you accomplished? Have you achieved your financial goals? Are you behind on your goals? What do you have to do to achieve your goals before the end of this year or is it too late? It's not too late. Okay. Two more months left in the year. If you are losing trading all year you can still turn your trading around. You've got enough time. Not a lot of time but you do have some time to do it and I find that the change of seasons is a perfect time. It's like cleaning out your closet, getting out your winter coat, getting out your winter clothes, cleaning out the summer stuff, getting out the holiday decorations, reorganizing, cleaning out your life, okay? Organizing your finances. All of this stuff is very important to do and it's a good time to do it in the change of seasons. So when you are thinking about this and you're trying to decide, do you want to trade? Are you committed? Are you motivated or maybe you're not? A lot of people say to me, oh, you know, I've been doing this for so long. I've been trying to do it. I can't figure it out. Melissa, I'm getting too old. You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream for yourself. So I don't care if you're 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, it doesn't matter. You are alive. You have a brain. You can motivate yourself to do anything you want to do. Stop putting limitations on yourself. People put themselves in these boxes. Well, I should have what I could. I should have been that farther along than this. I should, I should be making money by now. I've been trading for so long. I should be retired by now. I should have this much money. I should be making this much money. Whatever. You are the only one that's putting limitations on yourself. And when you constantly second-guess yourself and live in the past, you are preventing yourself from moving forward into the future and fulfilling your dreams that you want to achieve. Don't give up on your dreams and stop putting limitations on yourself. You're never too old to start over. A lot of people that are trading the market are chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing. They don't focus enough on one thing. They don't focus on the system. They always want the quick buck. They always want the golden goose, whatever it is. There isn't, there is, there is nothing that's like that. I call my system the golden gap, but it's really like finding gold in the market when I find a quality gap. But I can't make these gaps out. They're either there or they're not. We can't chase trades on any given day. It's either there or it's not. And I follow the system. The system tells me if it's there or not. If it's not there, I don't chase it. I use the rating system. The stock has to rate 20 points or more to do it. If it doesn't, that's it. We're not chasing anything. Okay? And even when we retake a second trade from a first trade, it's usually the same ticker symbol. And it's because I go with the system. I follow the system. Okay? I'm not chasing anything. Some days there's no trades to do. Stop chasing the money if you're trading. Stop chasing this. People do forex. Future is this. They jump from thing to thing to thing. Wanting the biggest, newest thing. Oh my god. So many people lost money in Bitcoin in 2017. Unbelievably amount, a huge amount of money people lost in 2017 to the beginning of 2018. Chasing Bitcoin, the price of it never went back up to the previous high that was at in 2017. Okay? So you kind of stop chasing these things in the market. You can make money in the market if you follow a system. One specific system. Okay? Stop chasing it. And ultimately it comes down to believing in yourself. I believe that I know that if you believe in yourself, you can accomplish any goal that you set for yourself. Even if it seems like it's impossible, it is not. The only thing is you have to motivate yourself to do it. If you lack motivation, guess what? You're not going to succeed because no one cares if you make it or not, if you don't. You have to care the most. You have to care the best. You have to care above and beyond and give what you thought you'd not have to give, whether it's losing sleep, whether it's getting up in the morning, whether it's a cost to take a class like mine or even a cost of your time investment, time, money, all of these things. Maybe it's going to take you longer than you thought. Maybe it's not going to go exactly the way you perfectly plan, but you can still do it. You can still do it if you believe in yourself. But ultimately you must believe in yourself because if you don't, guess what? No one else will. But if you believe in yourself, you'll find out that a lot of people will back you and get behind you. And you will overcome obstacles as you go through the process and things happen. Sometimes you're going to trade you lose internet. What are you going to do? It's nobody's fault. It's life, okay? Believe in yourself when you are doing this, going through the process. Don't give up and stay motivated. Manifest the life you want today. I tell people it doesn't matter where you are, what time of the year, where you're at financially, how old or young you are in your life, or how depressed you are, okay? Get out of the depression if you're in depression. If you were in a rut with your training for losing all year, stop trading, take a break or do something different for Pete's sake. So many people just keep going on and on and on and on and on. You're in the same thing and losing. And most of the things that people do even related to technical analysis when they look at charts, which is what I look at, I look at charts, look at charts incorrectly. Today was perfect example in the trade at ACAM. Perfect example. Perfect! Okay, people were short in that stock. It was a long. If you want to work for yourself, if you want to work from home, you can do it. Financial freedom can be yours. You must stay motivated. You must get motivated. You must be motivated. You must stay motivated. You must believe in yourself. You can work from home if you want a day trade, and that's one of the nice positive things about the career. And if you want to learn my system, I teach it in a class once a month. The class is called the Golden Gap course. The class for November is November 10th and 11th. 9 to 5 Eastern Time. Cost of the class is $54.99 through tomorrow, October 31st. And on November 1st, the price of the class is going up to $59.99. If you want to do it, the class is online.
