Depending on where you currently reside in your trading journey, the title of this episode may seem a bit ironic. Perhaps when you take a trade using real money (opposed to trading in a simulator) you experience of surge of emotions and physical stress. I understand and anyone who has traded understands! Here’s the thing, these emotions and stressed can be extremely diminished. There will always be emotions due to the fact we’re emotional creates; however, that does not mean they need to dominate our trade plans or experiences. My guest, Greg (”G-Mac” in the chatroom), is a great example of this. He has a very successful job and is very good at what he does. With that being said, with the types of responsibilities he has within his job, it creates a good amount of constant stress. Throw in the fact he’s a father of five kids (like myself!) and I don’t blame him one bit for pursuing something that can become less stressful than his current situation. Greg’s ambition come from a place of wanting to be a good father and I respect that in huge ways. He’s also being extremely smart in the way he goes about it; however, like all of us, he’s played with stupid along the way. Let’s hear about Greg and his journey!
