Guys, what a way to close this week for me. I finally passed two of my three Apex evaluation accounts today! It took two months for one account and a month for the other. 😄 Have a good weekend, everyone!

No big deal. Just accomplishing goals over here. 😎

Coaches - please correct me if I’m on the wrong path here … After the ups and downs of the last couple of months, reviewing class work multiple times, and staying up to date with the conversations around here I’ve come to a few realizations: 1. This coursework provides a solid foundation in understanding they ‘why’s and how’s’ of market movement 2. The most important part of the coursework - and hardest to master is the mindset and approach 3. Patience is a virtue! One many of us have to work on 4. Too many indicators or too much information (ie - what others are doing) can become ‘noise’ and create confusion in your own personal development. Certainly worth looking at, but can become overwhelming causing you to loose sight of the basics. Don’t be afraid to wipe the screen clean and reset. 5. Practice (paper and backtest) are KEY for personal development - just because a trade set-up worked for you once doesn’t mean it will work for you often enough to be profitable. You need to prove that out by having success multiple times. rushing the process actually prolongs success. But most importantly - this is NOT an exact science. The tools we have been so graciously given are to be used as a foundation to develop our own personal styles. We all process information differently and have different reaction times to the data we see. So trying to ‘memorize’ or perfectly duplicate something someone else has done is virtually impossible. If your S/D zones aren’t exactly the same as someone else’s - that’s ok as long as they work for you! If your risk ratio is different than someone else’s - that’s ok as long as it works for you. Want to trade a different index, use additional tools etc - go for it as long as it works for you. BUT- always keep in mind what works for someone else won’t always work for you!

Just wanted to say thank you to Kyle. I still can't believe I got here via an instagram ad, but I do know that this is on the way to actually changing my life. I just passed my 6th Eval account (shooting for 20 of course!), and just wanted to say thank you. To put all of this on Skool FOR FREE is absolutely amazing, but I do believe the best thing you can do for people is be of service, so thank you Kyle for this wonderful community you've created. It's truly changing lives, and I'm definitely going to pay it forward as much as possible!

Building an extraordinary life (by its very definition) requires an above ordinary effort. Some of you though have a pattern of behavior that will prevent you from ever achieving it. That pattern goes like this: 1) You pay for a course 2) You don’t get the result you wanted as fast as you’d like 3) You call it a scam and bounce to the next shiny object One of the back door benefits of being in this community is you can’t use that excuse here. All of the information is free and you’ve seen week after week your peers having success with it. That means you have no one to blame but YOURSELF. Ultimately that’s a good thing. Excuses, valid or not, will never lead to long-term success. If you’re being honest with yourself, they’re really just a way for you to avoid admitting you failed. BUT…failure is a 🔑 part of the success process. You only achieve extraordinary goals by embracing your failure and learning to overcome it. I’m no different. I’ve failed countless times to get me where I am today: - I got fired from my first job out of college (I didn’t like it so didn’t put in the work necessary to add value to the company) - I never really made a ton of money working for my large financial advisor firm (I wasn’t willing to make cold calls outside of my network) - I struggled for years with day trading before I ever made any real money (I lacked the mindfulness required to be consistent) - I put off building an online business for a whole year before I got it going (I didn’t have any sales or marketing skills) Notice how I never blamed my circumstances or someone else? All of these failure were MY FAULT. Just like yours are all on YOU now. That can be a scary thing… But it’s also liberating! It means you have complete control to shape your own destiny 💪
