MORE THAN YOU KNOW! That’s it, that’s the whole lesson. The world is changing so fast. That can be intimidating. But it’s ok. Most people take a minimum 10 years to adapt to change. So if you take initiative now you’re putting yourself and your family in a unique position. You can do it. Just be open to change and growth.

One of the things I’m most grateful for is how my parents raised me: They taught me that there’s nothing I can’t do… But it wasn’t owed to me. I only deserved it if I worked for it. It’s scary to see some of the things that are happening in society. A generation of people that live their lives with a crippling fear of failure and constant anxiety. I see it everyday with my day traders. Grown adults that struggle to do what they know they’re supposed to because of fear and anxiety. I’m not sure what the answer is. I know social media and now AI probably only makes it tougher. My best solution…we need to rally around each other. Sometimes it’s easy to feel like everything is negative. We’re so critical of each other. But it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s a choice. I’m going to choose to focus on the positive. To push you to grow, but do it from a place of believing in you. To my InvestCEO family: ✅ It’s ok to fail. It’s ok to take risks and not have them work out. Honestly if it doesn’t kill you or put you in jail, you’ll be just fine. ✅ I have your back. The road you’ve chosen is difficult. But because it’s difficult it comes with great reward. You can do it. Kyle

Do I have to be scary for this?

I’ve seen a lot of prop firm traders fall victim to this trap… What’s the trap? 👎 Constantly trading nothing but evaluation accounts under the disguise of “increasing your capital.” Let’s be honest. You’re not really trying to max out your capital. You know that’s not necessary because I’ve told you 100 times. The truth is you’re scared. The whole point though is to get paid. Only way to do that is to trade the PAs. Here’s what you can do to ease the fear: ✅ Trade small Seriously. 1-5 micros is all you really need. In fact there was just an Apex trader that took a 2M payout trading almost exclusively micros for most of his trades. You guys struggle because you risk too much. Decrease your risk size and play the long game. Weird thing is…you get paid faster this way.
