Hey everyone, name's Mike. I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL and am just beginning to be a beginner lol. I've been lurking the last couple of days while I've been searching for some way to responsibly break into trading. It seems to be something I think I'd enjoy. I hope it can be something that can help me sooner be able to buy a house with my fiance down here, and progress to having more financial freedom. Ever since i was a kid I've been into tracking sports data and I'm really not sure why I haven't looked at what I can do with stocks before. I want to start by saying, it's apparent that Kyle's mindset and patient style of teaching is refreshing and stands out from all the other "experts" or various strategies or schemes out there. Both he and Ryan really seem to care about the community here, and you all seem to really care about each other's success as well. So I'm very excited to be here. I'm a few videos into the course and am resisting wanting to ask all of the questions on my mind until I at least complete the course lol, but one thing I do want to ask is... I see there's over 24k members here, and I believe I remember hearing Kyle say over 200 of yall became funded traders last year (I didnt even know what that was...) Now obviously, many of those are people looking for a get rich quick scheme or simply dont have the patience to learn, but how much of that is that it's something that requires more time or something more than most are able to dedicate? I work as a manager for a wholesale retail company, and I'm sure most of you have full time jobs, kids or various commitments. So I'm curious what's holding some more back than others. Looking forward to learning with yall
