Destined for Trading Failure?

In this episode of Talking Trading, Louise Bedford explores the things you can’t change about yourself, and whether this will have an impact on your trading results.

You can’t change your age, or have a lot of influence over your gender, or gain the support of your spouse if they’re not as excited about trading as you are.

You don’t have a lot of control over your personality either. All of this can create a nagging sense of doubt… so wouldn’t it be great to know whether these aspects were an impediment to your success?

I want you to prove to yourself, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that whatever your inherent traits, you’ll be able to make money in the markets.

The sharemarket is an ‘equal opportunity’ employer.

You will be rewarded in direct proportion to the effort that you expend and the skills you develop. So stop blaming your age, your IQ, your personality, or even your spouse. You, and you alone are in control of your trading results.
