Smitty Jason Smith

(obviously if you were hanging out with the family.. that's better than "trading". That's not the point of this message) You know what I find hilarious? I've been funded MILLIONS over the years. Built multiple successful businesses from scratch. Raised 5 teenagers. (Still married. Praise God.) And STILL... Here I am at 11:16 PM on a Saturday night. Backtesting the SAME strategy I trade live every single day. Now sure... I'm ALSO going back and forth with 1-on-1 students tonight. Sharing their wins. Answering questions. But maybe that's the whole point. Maybe you gotta stay hungry enough... that you're STILL backtesting on weekends. Even when you "made it." Because here's what most people don't get: Studies show that 95% of retail traders LOSE money. But the top 5% who actually WIN? They share ONE thing in common... They treat trading like a CRAFT. Not a lottery ticket. They put in the reps. According to research, it takes roughly 10,000 hours of DELIBERATE practice to master a complex skill. Most traders quit after 100. They want the Instagram lifestyle... Without the Saturday nights spent refining their edge. But mastery doesn't care about your feelings. Or your calendar. It only respects CONSISTENCY. So yeah... I might wrap this up soon. Maybe hop on Arc Raiders or Fortnite with the kids. (Dad duties and all that.) But before I do? I'll have logged another session of mastery. Another brick in the foundation. Because that's what separates the 5% from everyone else. The willingness to show up... Even when nobody's watching. Even on Saturday nights. Stay hungry, Bob Beckett P.S. If you're serious about joining that top 5%... you already know what to do. Stop waiting for Monday motivation. Put in the work NOW. Who's all with me tonight?! Comment below! p.s.s. No this is not a real picture of me and my fam. ;)
