Dump it Here

Why we don't like reading

I've never met a client who enjoyed accepting a 1,000 page sales manual

Smart-arses

I've met plenty & they don't come any bigger than the know-all-know-nothing sales people.

I had to dump it here or it wouldn't leave my mind.

A topic

Anyone want to dump it here about how the Mind affect trading?

What influence the Mind has in relation to trading?

That's a topic if I can get it started - there a wealth of traders in here.

Self praise

Kind words

“I gained much from reading the addendum I particularly enjoyed the humorous slant on the world’s most important financial institution, and reflected on the impact that emotional confidence has on the world’s economy”

Why we should embrace the kindness of others

“While “annoyance and exhaustion” are a little harsh in terms of your self-reflection, having a link to such items does have a positive psychological impact on the reader (a similar phenomenon to the stock market), and entices one to read further - this certainly worked in my case. Your kindness is appreciated”

Everything written is to engage others to keep reading.

It's a fine line

My thread depends on whether it’s interesting & engaging before exhaustion set in and the reader stop reading.

If being successful at anything, was easy, everyone would be successful.
Which is why most get out, what they put in.

Too much?

I’ve chunk the posts knowing full well that if I break my posts into chunks it may encourage members to keep reading.

The chunks are given interesting titles to encourage that.

Maybe a break is in order..

@sptrawler we all need a plan to force our wealth creation into the right direction thus assuring success.

Your plan and your decisions will shape the outcome.

It isn't just wealth, it applies to most facets of life. IMO

@sptrawler - Education is up to you and education is you’re first step in making wealth creation happen.

Nobody is going to give you the money you need to support yourself without an income - it’s all on you to save up as much as you need. Therefore, your financial freedom is at stake here, and there is no better time to start creating it than right now.

Relationship counseling

Speaking from experience most relationship fall apart because of the family finances.

I've never experienced having too much money as a cause.

Having too little & the financial stress tears people apart.

Speaking to @tech/a earlier I was hesitant to approach a sensitive subject as to what drives a guy to use the wrong head to make suh an important decision.

Business counseling

One thing I do know about owning your own business. The quickest way to bring it undone is to have a "Soft heart or a Hard Prick"

When money walks out the door, love flies out of the window.

I had better get to work and leave you to it. Keep up the good work.

What is your background/or is it interest.
Psychology?

@tech/a like you a business owners, well multiple business.

You have a staff of 20 odd - try dealing with multiples of that.

Retired at 46 set for a more peaceful existence but bloody staff given authority just won't leave you alone.

I shouldn't dump personal stuff here as most don't like others talking about themselves.

The hand appears to click buy/sell according to factors decided 'reasonable and logical' by the conscious mind. In reality, the subconscious decides every click. It decides according to a whole bunch of beliefs - beliefs of which we can be largely unaware.

George Soros' son is perhaps smarter than his dad, though might never be able to make the big bucks himself. He noticed his dad's back always became very sore when an investement was on the brink of going bad. And George would exit with perfect timing. What made the back sore at the right time?

People who are very skilled and successful rarely have deep insight into the game they're playing, however they are always in touch with what they feel. They always rank highly in emotional IQ. It used to be called 'street smarts' as opposed to 'book smarts'. 'Street smarts' is about having a clear path between the subconscious and conscious minds. 'Book smarts' is overrated, but at the same time you can't do without it. You need both.

The ability to engage in independent thought is a vital skill which many lack.

The most common method of doing something, anything, is not necessarily the best method.

Common beliefs are not necessarily true.

Think for yourself.

Personal beliefs – what we believe

@Sdajii
@Ann

Whatever political or crazy scientific falsehoods you ever hear about or whatever insane psychological ideas or conspiracy theories, just google it and you will get more information than you could possibly read which 'confirms' it, whichever side of the debate you are on.

So it is now impossible for most people to become informed.

What they consume simply reinforces whatever beliefs they happen to already have or want.

Skate.

Maybe try the library or "I'm feeling lucky" mode.

But I do appreciate google's YT recommending videos of half-naked babes now and then.

Degrees & diplomas

Yep they are pretty common & they look good on your office wall

What impresses me are the successful business owner - they have all the same qualification that assured success.

PHD - what an acronym that builds a successful business.
