| Me and my copy of The Trading code by Jason Cam (2015) |
Took the title from a book by Grant Cardone. This book suggests that if you want to be successful in anything, be so obsessed about it, or end up being just an average Joe. You just have to work 10 times more and be 10 times more hungrier than the average guy. I am writing this post as a reminder to myself to restore my focus and determination in getting those winning trades. These past few weeks I got sidetracked and distracted by something else not stock trading related. And guess what happened to my results? Even my virtual portfolio in Investacup suffered a big draw-down. This post is a reminder for myself and hopefully for many others too, that we should focus more on what we love the most, or pay the price for being an average. I'm gonna share here why I think being obsessed is good for us and why we should strive to reach our goals in trading no matter what.
Being obsessed will give us a laser-like focus on our goals. We will be so determined to focus only on what is important to us; our goals and dreams. Any other activities not related to the goal will only distract us, therefore it is wise to either minimize our time spent on them or eliminate them from our life entirely. We all should be focusing our time and energy trying to reach our goals, instead of wasting it on things that really doesn't help us get nearer to that dream.
Loving what we do will make as passionate. And to live passionately is a great way to live. If you already found what you love to do, do it passionately and great things will happen. Being passionate will fuel us with energy of enthusiasm, and people will notice that energy. In result, people with the same goals as us will be drawn to us and other people will be curious too.
Being obsessed will give us a more positive mindset. We won't be giving up on our dreams and goal that fast. We will be so determined that it is almost impossible to discourage us. We will consider failures as temporary, and we know we can get back on our feet ASAP. Being obsessed with a goal gives us no other options but to work on our dreams until we achieved it.
The word obsessed really gets a bad rap from most people, for them it means closer to being crazy. But we can look at it with a more positive light. Being obsessed means you are focused on you goal. Being obsessed means you know your priorities. Being obsessed means you should spend more time working for your goals. Being obsessed means you will not stop until you reach your goals. For traders being obsessed means getting rid of all the distractions, freeing up your time, and work on improving your trading system. It could also means getting our lazy ass up and do that research work, no excuses. So put in the work guys, don't be just like the other average traders out there. I invite you to be obsessed like me.
P.S: I just created a twitter account, let's connect there. Thanks
