Mind your own business

The rich focus on their asset columns while everyone else focus on their income statements.

Most people work for everyone but themselves.

Financial struggle is often directly the results of people working all their lives for someone else.

The mistake in becoming what you study is that too many people forget to mind their own business. They spend their lives minding someone else's business and making that person rich.

To become financially secure, a person needs to mind their own business. Your business resolves around your asset column, not your income column.

The rich focus on their asset columns, while everyone else focuses on their income statements.

The primary reason the majority of the poor and middle class are fiscally conservative which means, "I can't afford to take risks" - is that they have no financial foundation. They have to cling to their jobs and play it safe.

Life is sometimes tough when you do not fit the standard profile.

One of the main reasons net worth is not accurate is simply because, the moment you begin selling your assets, you are taxed for any gains.

Start minding your own business. Keep your daytime job, but start buying real assets, not liabilities or personal effects that have no real value once you get them home.

Keep expenses low, reduce liabilities, and diligently build a base of solid assets.

An important distinction is that rich people buy luxuries last, while the poor and middle class tend to buy luxuries first.

A true luxury is a reward for investing in and developing a real asset.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

Disciplined Trader Chapter 2

The following typical trading errors have a specific cause rooted in a thinking methodology that can be changed. 1. Refusing to define a loss. 2. Not liquidating a losing trade, even after you have acknowledged the trade's potential is greatly diminished. 3. Getting locked into a specific opinion or belief about market direction. From a psychological perspective this is equivalent to trying to control the market with your expectation of what it will do: "I'm right, the market is wrong." 4. Focusing on price and the monetary value of a trade, instead of the potential for the market to move based on its behavior and structure. 5. Revenge-trading as if you were trying get back at the market for what it took away from you. 6. Not reversing your position even when you clearly sense a change in market direction. 7. Not following the rules of the trading system. 8. Planning for a move or feeling one building, but then finding yourself immobilized to hit the bid or of...

INSPIRE COOPERATIVE AND PERSONAL ACTION

There are essentially two kinds of people of action. One might be called the caretaker type and the other the promoter or salesperson type. Both types are essential in business, industry, and finance. One of them is known as a dynamo while the other is often referred to as a balance wheel. Once in a great while you find someone who is both a dynamo and a balance wheel, but such a personality combination is rare. Most successful business organizations are made up of both types. The balance-wheel type who does nothing but compile facts and figures and statistics is just as much a person of action as the one who gets on a stage and sells an idea to a thousand people by the sheer power of their active personality. To determine whether or not someone is a person of action, it is necessary to analyze both their mental and their physical habits. The world pays you for what you do and not for what you know. That statement might easily be misconstrued. What the world really pays you for ...
