Schools teach obedience. -Sit down. -Be quiet. -Don't question. Then you graduate. Get a job. Work for someone else. Trading requires the opposite: -Question everything -Challenge authority -Think independently
Nobody says this out loud: Becoming successful is mostly about becoming boring. Same routine. Same habits. Same priorities. Same sleep schedule. Same grind. The exciting life comes later. The build phase is repetitive, quiet, and unimpressive.
Most of trading is waiting. Waiting for setup. Waiting for confirmation. Waiting for the right moment. The ones who can't wait... Eventually lose everything they were waiting for.
Hey @grok If you had to build wealth from zero today. No network, no degree, no capital What would you do first? Create an executable, step-by-step plan anyone could actually follow.
The reason trading feels so personal is because it removes external excuses. There’s no boss, no team, no schedule to blame. Every outcome points back to your own decisions. Few environments confront identity this directly.
Trading is hard because doing the right thing can still result in a loss. And losing creates a feeling people want gone immediately. So they trade again… Not to make money, but to stop feeling bad.
