This interview has been one of our most highly anticipated given so many members of the community are already aware of our guests inspirational story. Shawn (besides being our 2nd ever female guest) has also accomplished quite a feat. In the spirit of wanting to control risk, she started her journey with only $250. In a span of a few months, this $250 amount grew to over $10,000 (and at this point, is still growing). How did she do it? What steps did she take? It wasn’t a smooth ride, but that’s the beauty of her journey. Let’s get started!
Notes:
Shawn’s introduction to the market was similar to many. The company she worked for allowed her to allocate where her 401k was allocated and since she saw that computers were the up and coming trend, that is where she placed her money. Needless to say, her 401k appreciated rapidly and she continued to contribute for some time.
One of her friends was a trader/investor in the penny stock market. The catch about this is that Shawn has something called common sense! She realized what her friends were telling her about doubling or tripling her money sounded too good to be true.
Eventually Shawn saw Clay’s Youtube videos that showcase technical analysis of some tickers that she had her money in. This intrigued her because Clay doesn’t tell anyone whether to buy or to sell. He just presents the facts that the chart is showing.
After going through a few courses, there was enough proof that this wasn’t a scam and that the material pays off if you apply it correctly. This led Shawn to purchasing CTU because she wanted to go through the courses she hadn’t started yet. She was dead set on applying herself 100% and this was her proving it by investing in her education.
