A Day In The Life
' I would really be interested to read a blog from you about the trading lifestyle and about how it really is like. Really not buying the stories from others trading on the beach or travelling the world while doing so. '
I've been trading full time for just over a year - and I'm certain that my daily trading routine is almost utopia to anyone who is stuck commuting to a job they don't like. Of course, I didn't just 'make the change' and begin being a trader - the success I have now came in gradual stages.
First - some results I have achieved, and below, the daily routine to manage it.
I started with $15 in bitcoin tips in January of 2015 - and traded/earned my way to the top 16% in the most profitable traders by April of 2018, according to CoinTracking.

A Day In The Life
My trading plan is so simple that anyone can see the trading signal from across the room. It's like watching an hour hand move on an old clock.
When I am trading correctly, there is nothing for me to do. My money is working for me. My money is doing the work of making money for me.
So, I get up at 5 am, make coffee, and spend the first 20 minutes reviewing charts to catch up on changes overnight. Then I spend the next couple hours working on some aspect of my trading journal.
Usually 9am till 1pm is breakfast, busy time around the house, sometimes a walk, bike or swim, lunch etc.
Then from 1 till 4 I am generally working on some aspect of organizing the community project, from the forum, course power points, trading case studies, videos, email, social media, editing the book, blogging etc
Then my focus is away from the computer. Out to a different restaurant, time with friends and family - some evenings I get a quite 90 minutes to write something constructive or make plans.
Making Money Work For Me
Over the decades it was always me working for money. I worked difficult labor jobs. I worked straight commission sales jobs. I always had to work more hours to make more money - and at the end of the month, the money was gone and I had to go work to get more money.
Does that sound familiar to you? Do you need to work in order to pay your bills over the next six months?
I was there a short while ago too.
But I turned a small bit of knowledge into a belief. From there, everything started to change - almost without effort. Money started to pile up and grow. That basic, simple knowledge that 'money works for me' was no longer a phrase... it became a belief.
Following Belief Is Easy
Not doing something you believe in is difficult. In fact, we are acting under duress when we are doing something against our beliefs.
A lack of knowledge causes anxiety 'what do I do next?'
On the other hand, belief brings certainty - habit - action.
Once you start to study all the ways that you can make money work for you, once you start in the smallest micro-steps - you will see success. You will see that money DOES work for you. You CAN make money. New money that did not come in an hourly rate.
Now the knowledge has the chance of becoming a belief. Nurture this flame. Protect it. Feed it with more examples of how you can make money work for you. Soon you WILL HAVE money working for you...
Back On Track
My daily routine is paid for by trading profits, but also by mining earnings, and also by several other passive income sources. Each revenue stream was cultivated because it is an asset that generates revenue without requiring my time. All of these assets are 'money' working for me.
I still have money goals I want to attain. To achieve my future goals, I study my past trading successes and failures to improve my own trading skills. And I share my insights to engage conversation, learn from others and also to help those who may be on a similar path.
If I can teach others to achieve the results I have accomplished - I feel like I am making a huge difference in their life and the lives of everyone in their family and social circles. Teaching others can provide a great service - and preparing the 'Micro-Steps To Serious Wealth' cryptocurrency course materials and trading case studies is what gets me up in the morning with enthusiasm!
