 I guess I found some motivation there Tosh come out today I don't think I'm ready to run after that though Gotta find your motivation guys Man, it's freaking freezing down here. It's on the California. You guys hear me That's the better backside than my backside You guys can hear me, right? Making sure everything's good. Audio is good That's freaking freezing Whoo black swans happen all the time in trading guys I don't know why they call it a black swan when I see a black swan every single day here. It's a black duck It's cold It is freaking cold Hope you guys are staying well in these markets Man, it's so freaking cold. Hey, I want to start Look like a homeless guy on the street. I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I Mean usually I am right? So when people say I'm gonna be honest with you Does that mean that they're lying all the other times? So it's kind of weird what I'm gonna be honest with you, right? so Do not use that term guys. I hate using that term It's one of my the but the biggest pet peeve turn is can I ask you a question never use that? If you ask me can I ask you a question the answer is gonna be no When people say I'm gonna be honest with you thinking about well the other times you're lying So be careful when you hear that too, but anyways, I Didn't not want to wake up today guys Seriously, I didn't want to wake up yesterday. I didn't wake up tomorrow to trade. I Watched Alex's IG live on Monday. I'm a YouTube live and I kind of like hit me man. Hit me hard too. I was I Don't feel the same exact way as Alex it's like You know, we've been working our asses off for two and a half years ten hours a day no breaks after some point it's just You kind of lose your motivation your passion is gone when you Stop having a reason to wake up It's when you don't want to wake up When money money does not the driving force anymore for me. I mean, I'm not the richest guy in the world I'm not the poorest guy in the world. I Been at the super top. I've been a super bottom. I Know what I want in life and it's not materialistic shit. I Mean sure. It's nice. You need to have money to have freedom and all that kind of stuff But I'm wearing this fucking shit from Costco that cost like 15 bucks, you know I mean It's just it's just hard to wake up guys. I'm telling you right now yet I'm putting myself in your shoes guys. You have to have a reason that goes beyond yourself To make trading or to become successful if money is the only driving force That's not gonna work. I'll tell you why Because when you stop making money the first day you lose second day you lose you're gonna quit Because you're like fuck trading is hard. It was not as easy as these Fru ruse marketing guys make it seem all these guys on fucking Social media posting fucking Lambo's and shit like that. And so it makes you think that Holy fuck if this dumbass 22 year old has all this shit It must be easy and then we get when you get in there the first thing you do is you lose The moment you lose you're like, oh fuck This is hard. And that's why people lose they They do it for the wrong fucking reasons eyes. If I'm telling you right now If you want to chase fucking money There's many ways to do it easier than trading Okay, but if you want to make some serious fucking money In like a snap of finger It takes time. It's doable The reason I've got up today, I tell right now man Alex and show you screenshots later. I Was up at 3 a.m. I Made myself a fucking instant ramen like a dollar instant ramen, but that felt so good I've been eating fancy-ass foods in Las Vegas And they went got home dollar ramen was like fucking it's just fucking amazing, you know spending $2,000 $3,000 on dinner in Las Vegas I posted some of them just insanely stupid shit. Did it make me happy? Not really You know, you know what? I wasn't happy paying for my friends who never really have that kind of experience so That motivated me to want to go To those fancy places But for me fuck man my Instagram on home was waiting for me. And so today when I woke up I was like fuck after eight the instant ramen. I got back to bed. I'm gonna lay here for another hour And I'm like I actually felt it very lazy my intention was like, okay, if I'm gonna get get up I'm not gonna I'm just gonna cheat. I'm gonna cheat at trading and what I mean by cheating at trading It means I'm gonna use Alex's watch list Alex Tom James Other members other moderators Harry whoever they have a watch list at MIC And I was like fuck man for the first time I might just just copy their shit When I mean copy it means just use their guide They tell me which stocks are up which stocks are good shorts the lines to short things like that So I was like fuck math felt so lazy and then I realized I don't know fucking do that shit I'm just a lay bed and not work. So I texted Alex and Todd to say I'm not coming to work and not feeling well Which I've not Well, this is a fucking sign guys This is a fucking sign What the fuck? That's some scary shit. I don't know where I'm walking around There's fucking balloon dude a fucking balloon of a happy face. I believe in signs like that guys It's just crazy, man So the reason I got up cuz tossing Alex goes take your day off man And then Alex goes dude take the rest of the week off. You don't need to come in anymore They're awake. I got it. We got it The moment it did that I felt so fucking guilty. I was like here. I am kind of like Feeling sorry for myself You know They lost my train of thought Okay, let's get back to track. Um, I'm joking guys, but um, what the hell was I talking about? Um But yeah, I felt so guilty Alex told me You know, this is the same thing that Alex feels that's why he's going back to work And I was like fuck me. I can't like these guys down. I can't let the members down, you know, it's kind of like shit man It's I'm telling you the pressure when we have when you have a skill that other people Would love to have and if you do not maximize your skill do not take advantage of the potential of your skill It fucking sucks. Just like a lot of athletes like John Jones the UFC guy He's so talented, but his personal life is all fucked up things like that guys and So sometimes it's like you have to find reasons more than your selfish self to want to succeed So I'm succeeding not for myself. I'm gaining up not for myself I'm getting up because of toss because of Alex because of Harry because of the MIC guys because the members are depending on me because my friends my family and That has what has gotten me to where I am today guys because man as a day trader people If you've been training this for a long time, you know, you're either You're either fucking broke Or you made a lot of money and you disappear no one just fucking keeps training forever It's because the stress level is so fucking high where it could become suicidal Because the pressure the stress to maintain to compete all that when you lose your Motivation above and beyond money that when I was young money was the motivating factor But it wasn't just money It was a fact that I grew up in poverty. I Wanted money not just for myself To help my family out to the first thing I did when I became a successful trader I literally paid off my sister's debts bought my sister a house You know Helped my mom the first car ever bought a very first new car. I bought was for my mom. I was making this was cheese, man 15 years ago, you know, I was making seven figures Driving a fucking used BMW That fucking I bought from eBay and bought my mom a new car You know, I mean that that so that was my motivation back then And so that's what kept me going Days I did not want to wake up Days that I lost money felt like shit. I still got up You know, it's when you do not want to do what you want to do You need something to keep you going guys. I don't know what it is But I'm just trying to share it with you. This is why having a tab and trading accountability buddy helps you man This is all the mental psychological things that You can that you cannot fix yourself You can put a hard stop But you have to put the hard stop you respect the hard stop things like that But the hard stop is not going to slap you in the fucking face when you cancel it The hard stop is not going to fucking make you wake up when you do not want to wake up or do not need to wake up. I Do not need to wake up. I woke up because They said Alex and Todd said take the week off. I'm like, dude I'm gonna fucking do this shit. All right. How can I I really don't wake up today guys But you know what man? Today was Instagram live day as well. I Couldn't let you guys down people were asking me all morning. Are you gonna do Instagram live? I was like, dude, you know, so So I got up. So, you know, I did I got up. I stopped feeling sorry for myself You know, it's stupid. What do you think about? We are all so entitled guys We are so fucking blessed. We are so fucking blessed and we don't know that We keep crying and crying because the media because of marketing whoever makes us think that, you know, we always need more We always need more When we when we have is right in front of us, man So you have to sit down decide what the fuck do you want to do? If you want to trade is it to make fucking purely make money you didn't need more than that man Because you're not gonna make any fucking money. I guarantee you in first three months and then you're gonna start losing money You know, yeah, but I guarantee you if you fucking keep at it and you're disciplined One year of trading once you learn how to trade you could potentially retire Okay But why retirement? I'm not talking about making enough to buy a Lamborghini shit like that So I was working on my job making probably 2,000 way back then as a software sales guy and then I told myself if I could save two years Salary, so I made like five. I made like $500,000 trading and actually didn't want to quit They had to kick me out and so so I'm thinking fuck dude So those are the type of numbers that this was like 15 years ago, dude. That's a lot of money back then But the reason I did that I Didn't want to quit the reason I quit Because they kind of forced me out but at the same time, you know, I needed them To fund me trading So how do you guys get started trading guys? I'm gonna be very quick and then we'll move on another topic, but you need money due to trade Playing simple these motherfuckers. It's how you don't need money. You need fucking money but You need money not because The money's a day trade with you need the money to live While you learn to trade Get a fucking job Get this fucking shit out your mind that you need to be a full-time trader. Fuck you and your full-time trader dreams Okay, your first step is to fucking Provide for yourself Fuck your dreams. Okay. I'll tell you right now Fuck what what you think is your dream because that's a selfish fucking reason and and if yourself is you are not gonna Make it guys. I'm telling you right now My dream was never to be fucking a full-time trader My dream was just to help my fucking family so that they don't fucking have to keep helping me Right, they supported me Whenever I needed money and here I am going clubbing and shit like that when I was young wasting so much money And then when the bills came they're like, oh, can I borrow money for rent? I'm like, and they're like, dude, you make fucking 200 grand a year. Where the fuck your money go, you know I was young didn't know about taxes things like that. So a guy making 200 grand is actually not that much man After you pay taxes and all this shit Fucking better become a drug dealer, right? Don't take that So it's kind of hard man, I'm trying to express it, but I have so many emotions because The precursor to this video guys is the video that Alex made on Monday that that video fucking struck me It fucking hit me very fucking hard You know made me kind of sad And so I'm feeling the same effects and I'm like fuck man It is the same way that I want to slap Alex that I want to slap myself. We are very blessed There's no reason for us to be fucking unhappy We are unhappy because we are putting Unnecessary stresses on ourselves and I'm telling you this it's because Stresses does not have to be financial You know financial stress versus mental stress versus family stress relationship stress Bro, it's it's all stress and it's stupid people crying because you know their girlfriend broken with them fucking God damn it. At least you can fucking have a girlfriend some guys in Japan never fucking have a girlfriend their entire lives, right? No, thanks to the Japanese, but that's why I read Um Yeah, here I am fucking crying cuz I have no motivation to wake up to make thousands of dollars with one click You're just stupid that sounds and then there you are guys. You guys are sitting here crying because poor baby You can't get that Gucci belt You know like what the fuck so How is this gonna be change life-changing guys because I'm tired now Quit fucking trading and money is your only motivating factor quit trading The guys are chasing money. Don't have money and they will not have money Okay All the guys that are doing super. Well, you don't see them bragging. You know, they are just hey, man It's like Tom Brady fucking One of the Super Bowl. What's the big deal? You know, it's been here before Versus, oh, I'm the fucking best in the world motherfucker. No, but but but then you never hear from them again So shit man, I have I have so much to say guys, this is the first time I'm kind of like lost for words I just texted Alex like before I'm done. I do it. I feel so fucking guilty I made like four trades four clicks and you know made money that so I went to Vegas this weekend. I don't fucking gamble Some of my friends gamble and I feel so bad So this isn't there and stuff and so I'm like fuck man, you know I'm like, dude in my hand. I'm thinking When we trade we are the house, you know And so it may be kind of sad where it's kind of like You know you if you have a skill I'm just trying to tell you guys right now to be any fucking skill. I'm not talking about trading guys It could be any any any fucking skill Your skill I call it finding your niche Find your niche meaning find something that makes you different than other people So I'll give you a great example like how I started with I was a good engineer. That's a good program if I wasn't the best I Fucking drink I party Fucking come to work late. I can't compete with these guys. I have no lives No offense of the guys. I have no life, you know, these nerves. They're fucking 24 hours talking about coding Here I am like fuck. I just want to do the bare minimum, you know So I found my niche my niche was the fact that I can articulate that I don't have to be the best Software developer But I know enough. I don't need to be the best salesperson But I know enough sales But you know what how many motherfuckers can create software from scratch coding without anything And talk about it and articulate it and sell it to someone not many people So I found my niche. I was basically the the person that Helped the sales guy sell complicated software. So for you Think about it. If you're sitting in your job miserable That is because You are not thinking About yourself like what are you doing differently? You are just basically Competing with other people on their own terms guys Change the whole fucking shit around Okay, I don't know where this is heading but my point to you is this Instead of playing by the rules their rules create your own rules Okay, and this is why Alex Traits for an hour and he leaves. I'm starting to understand that but the reason I stay is that it's gay I don't want to be fucking at the desk 24 hours man That's what made me fucking go crazy. That's what made me lose money back when you're sitting there and when you don't need money You fucking need to entertain yourself and get bored and do all this shit Okay, guys, so to fix your disciplinary problems get a tab Your tabs should slap the fuck out of your face if you break a rule You do not need to trade all day long to be a full-time trader. I Clicked a few buttons woke up at fuck. I feel like a fool right now I feel like one of those guys that Fucking has a subscription service wakes up two minutes before the open and starts yelling out their trace And then the moment they lose they fucking leave so they're having to say anything But there's one one big times camera room guy. I logged on. I looked at it You know, he made like 23,000 on cable SS pumping in the morning The very next time he got dumped on OXBR done. I'm out. Bye. Boom. I'm like People are paying for that shit People paying you to learn man So when I saw that it motivated me motivated me to the point where I'm like fuck this shit Okay, I'm gonna fuck. This is the reason why I wake up in the morning not to make money Not to have the most members. It's the fact that I'm gonna say me Alex MIC every moderator every fucking member in there is going to save the fucking world from these scammers Okay, I Cannot believe they charge three times more and All at this got these guys all they want to do is just brag about their p&l They don't fuck hell anyone fucker, you know, the more they lose they fucking leave. It's just crazy shit And so today reminding me why I Do what I do Sometimes I forget about it, you know, sometimes I get tired, but in a day you have to have a reason guys More than just money more than yourself and this is gives you purpose in life Everybody needs a purpose in life guys, and I'm telling you depression is fucking real You can be the richest motherfucker poor mother fucker and be depressed. I was very depressed You know, I felt no purpose It's just the same old grind every fucking day and Alex told me something this morning Thousand people say thank you about thousand people but two idiots say fuck you bow And for some reason those two idiots resonate in our head, you know And we forget there are a thousand people out there that are changed that we are changing lives But for some reason there was two fucking trolls Two messages from two idiots are they're useless Yes to us Okay, we have to remind ourselves man You know focus on the people that want to be helped So if you want to become a successful day trader guys Fuck man, you're gonna have to humble the fuck down Start to listen to people that been there before Stop thinking, you know every fucking shit Get a fucking tab To control all of your bad habits just like an alcoholic an alcoholic has a sponsor They don't do this shit by themselves. You know what when you start day training I guarantee you going to be addicted to trading It's like gambling Because you know why when you make money that feels so good When you fucking make a nice fucking trade It is a drug And you just over time you are not after the money anymore you were after that feeling of being high And this is why people fuck up. This is why people reventuring Okay So a guy that makes money already Because that's the way it should be systematic repeatable low risk boring But you know what man? We got into trading because we want to have excitement. That's that's the danger This is what you need a tab. I You know like getting out of a hole This is why you see so many guys on Twitter brag about how much they're down and then they make it all back. I Was down three billion dollars and then I broke even fuck. Yeah, I'm the best You know, that's because they're adrenaline junkies. They think that's just that's the way and that's not a way to teach guys I Never want to be that down that much and then brag about it I feel I would you know because our people that's not the way to do it If you want excitement you do something else, right? And so Anyways, I'm gonna I'm gonna cut it short. I'm gonna I'm gonna bring it out on we talk about the free giveaway I'm getting too emotional about this. I don't I don't want to get in any more of this My whole point of this guys is find a reason More than yourself guys You know think how blessed you are if you do not have a car Think about think about the guy that does not have a fucking Feet to walk, you know shit like that man. We are fucking blessed man. We are fucking blessed Hey, Alex raise your hand. I'm gonna bring you on. It's going to do a giveaway here. I see Alex. How do I get now? It's on here. I Couldn't get you on Alex We're trying to get so Alex is doing a free giveaway for a lifetime Which I didn't know about so see that's how we are man. He felt sad. He's gave it and I love him for that Where you Alex raise your hand? Let me see How come I can't At people I Can't get anybody to sign on itch you live. It's so weird Do they get rid of the split screens? Did Instagram live get rid of this split screen? I Can't seem to get anybody Okay, I'm with Alex I can't shit man Try to do this out log out and log back in and then request that I Be that you be in my video Because I was going to start talking about how to get the free giveaway I'm good, bro. I'm good. I'm glad you were saying I'm glad you went on Instagram today, bro I'm just for the fact that you know, I tell you all the time that this Sometimes being able to just talk it out and release it into the universe is what helps us I'm glad they were able to just let it out. Hey, man I know that that's kind of been a burden on your shoulders for a little bit So it feels good to see you letting it out man Thanks, man, I'm a little teary-eyed I can't think about your video yesterday, bro That's what got me out like fuck man and the fact that I seriously man when you said take the week off I thought I saw so fucking guilty man like what the fuck am I doing dude? Why am I fucking sad, you know, you shouldn't feel that way everybody? deserves To feel sad and it's okay. You know what I'm saying? Does the matter if you're rich or whatever the hell it may be right and and and that's that thing that's difficult a lot I think the difference that's why me and Alex along so well We we are very emotional and we are not afraid to show our emotions. I don't find that any Less manly that he's sad or cries and shit like that. So, you know, that's why Alex and I became really good friends Yep, but okay. Okay, so talk about your giveaway. So I don't fucking look stupid now So, yeah, I mean I came on YouTube live yesterday and there was a lot of people that Question a lot of people that kind of came in and you know, I kind of felt a little bit upset that I haven't been around It hasn't been a week me. I just haven't been around the last three days. I've just been traveling and all that stuff So I said to myself, you know what as my Small apology for not being around for these past days. I want to give away a lifetime membership So it's really easy. There's no strings attached. There's no money involved No, nothing all you have to do is go on to my YouTube video. Yes the GameStop video and comments one lesson with your email and then tomorrow Wednesday at Tosh's new member webinar at two during the Q&A at the end I will come on and I will announce the winner I'm gonna add one more thing guys The more times you comment and make sure you watch the video because you can tell you don't You get what you'll get more of a likelihood of doing it because we want to give it actually to someone I really want to learn and not just someone that just oh I only watched your video once because you told me you're gonna get something freeway So, you know, I believe everything happens for a reason guys. So this is a chance Talk about the last person we gave it away. Remember Trevor So that's actually funny. I think we were in Orange County about you remember that We were in Orange County and we were doing a giveaway I think it was just to one of our random members or just one random thing and What ended up happening is a guy from Amsterdam Trevor on his bike He picked up the call and he became a lifetime member and I think six months after He became a lifetime member he posted a five-figure day I think he made like And I was just crazy He was a student dude, I think like 20 years old he was a student riding a fucking bicycle through Amsterdam And he's the guy that's on On one hand he had the phone for the Instagram live And you know You know, I'll do all in the description of this video. I will link that YouTube video where we actually brought him on to So, I mean We changed his life. He changed our life He made us realize that you know, man There are people on there around the world a guy for frigging apps way even though he's here Trevor is here, bro. You should bring on Trevor Hey Yeah, yeah, that's him I'll bring on Trevor I'm bringing on Trevor waiting for Trevor. It's the worst. This Instagram live is kind of funky lately Do it.

Life is not fucking hard. You wake up You fucking eat took a shit shower What work? What's hard is Us as a human being wanting more and more and never being satisfied never being fucking happy about anything fucking shit Don't that's this is why During the pandemic it really sucks You can't travel anywhere. You're stuck in your own space and all you see is social media people posting all these fucking shit That's unrealistic. That's all you're saying sitting in your fucking House locked down because governor won't open up the town right and you should get stuck So, you know what changed my life guys the fact that I was not born here But you can do the same I appreciate everything I fucking have I should not even be alive right now So this is a third world country Go and help you a charity do something that makes you basically realize like your life, man Yeah, dude, we are so fucking blessed guys Okay Okay, I'll try to travel one more time and it is okay guys to have emotion as a man Nice to see you You're not your bicycle today No, I'm my training center Yeah, yeah, you I'm really grateful still for the lifetime that I wanted really helped me so much So show people your training system now.

I appreciate your hard work No, it's not easy Before we end this I would like you to help people by them how you got to work on me like what do they need to do What do they need to do to become Trevor? Okay, you need to watch a lot of Stokes stay at your screens the whole day You don't need to trade if you if your stats say that you lose money after 10 30 you stop trading if you Look all your monitors and you still watch all the stones Move you watch how they move every day and you watch videos or tons of videos in the library. That's how you learn So so did you paper trade or anything? How did you start to scale like from? I just started very small just I never pay for traded, but that's a good idea Always you should pay for trade, but I start very small like ten dollars risk every trade So that's how it started. No, so slowly scale up when you become consistent So there's no secret. It's hard work hard work a lot of time Definitely I posted it sometimes I think Well, I started just with one one computer and one small screen then slow I got one more big screen and one more big screen one more big screen and I have four big screens One laptop and one small screen It's not it's not even been a year. It's like eight months No, well, no, it was it was April 2019 Oh Yeah, I didn't really have a real moment, but like a breakthrough in my P&L was basically December 2019 But yeah for me what has just been more gradual That is awesome, man, I'm very happy for you, man.
