Hey there,

Brian McAboy here, and I need to share something with you that might sting a little. But if you're serious about making real money as a trader—and keeping it—then you need to hear this.

The Problem Nobody Wants to Admit

Here's what I discovered during my brutal first year of trading: I was average. Not terrible, not great—just painfully, frustratingly average.

And my ego absolutely hated admitting that.

Look, the fact that you're even trading puts you in an elite group. You've managed to accumulate the capital needed to get in the game. You've got the discipline and drive that most people simply don't possess.

But here's the thing—being above average in life doesn't automatically make you above average at trading.

Why “Above Average” People Struggle with Trading

When I started trading, I thought I had it figured out. The concepts seemed straightforward. I understood what I was supposed to do.

But understanding and executing are two completely different animals.

My ego kept whispering: “You've got this, Brian. You're successful in everything else. This should be easy.”

That voice nearly killed my trading career.

The Competition You're Really Up Against

While you're treating trading as a side hustle or hobby, you're competing against:

• Professional traders with decades of experience
• Algorithmic trading systems making thousands of decisions per second
• Hedge fund managers with teams of analysts and unlimited resources
• Other skilled traders who've made this their full-time obsession

This isn't the place to be average. It really isn't.

Trading is a Multi-Skill Business

Most people think trading is just about reading charts and clicking buy/sell buttons. That's like saying surgery is just about making cuts.

Trading requires mastery in multiple areas:

• Business management skills – Because trading IS a business
• Self-management and discipline – To execute your plan consistently
• Strategic planning – Choosing your approach, capital allocation, risk management
• Performance analysis – Tracking what works and what doesn't
• Emotional regulation – Managing the psychological pressure

You wouldn't expect to perform surgery after watching a few YouTube videos. So why do we think we can master trading without developing these core competencies?

The Moment Everything Changed for Me

My breakthrough came when I finally swallowed my pride and admitted: “I need to level up. I need help.”

That's when I stopped chasing “clever strategies” and started focusing on developing myself as a complete trader.

That's when trading became easier. That's when I got back to enjoying the above-average results I was used to in other areas of my life.

The Path Forward

You have two choices:

1. Keep doing what you're doing and stay frustrated with inconsistent results
2. Commit to becoming the A-level trader this market demands

The good news? You already have the foundation. You're already above average—you just need to apply that same excellence-driven mindset to trading that's made you successful everywhere else.
