Hey there,
Brian McAboy here from Inside Out Trading, and I want to share something with you that might surprise you.
There's one aspect of trading that's simultaneously the absolute BEST thing about it… and also the absolute WORST thing about it.
The Best Part: You're Completely Independent
Unlike almost every other business you could pursue, trading doesn't require:
- Customers to chase down
- Staff to manage
- Inventory to track
- Employees to hire
- Vendors to deal with
All you need is internet access, a platform, and a brokerage account. That's it.
From a business perspective, this is incredible. The capital requirements are minimal, and with proper firms, you don't even need much working capital to get started.
Most importantly? You don't have anyone else to blame. No bad employees, no difficult customers, no vendors letting you down. When you succeed, it's all on you.
The Worst Part: You're Completely Alone
Here's where it gets tough. That same independence becomes your biggest challenge for three critical reasons:
1. The Isolation is Real
This is the number one complaint I hear from traders who come to me for help: “I'm so tired of being alone.”
You can't talk to friends about it – they think you're crazy. They don't understand what trading is really like or what you're dealing with day after day.
2. Information Overload Without Trust
Sure, there are thousands of “gurus” on Reddit and YouTube ready to give advice. But who can you trust? Who's actually successful versus who's just good at marketing?
It's like being surrounded by water but having nothing safe to drink.
3. Self-Management is Brutal
Managing yourself as a trader is one of the biggest challenges you'll face. The pressure is enormous – if it fails, it's on you. No safety net, no backup plan, no one else to lean on.
How to Address These Liabilities
Here's the truth: Trading is NOT an entry-level game.
Just because there are virtually no barriers to entry doesn't mean anyone can walk in and start making money immediately. This is a profession that requires real skills.
You're competing against professional traders worldwide – people with:
- Proven tools and strategies
- Years of experience
- Proper training and support systems
The professionals are making their money off the unprepared traders. Don't be one of them.
The Solution: Get the Right Help
Whether you're brand new and want to avoid the expensive learning curve, or you've been struggling with strategy-hopping and emotional control issues, there's a better way.
The traders I work with tell me that just having someone who understands what they're going through makes a massive difference. Someone who knows what trading feels like, how to work through the challenges, and how to build accountability.
Tired of it taking SO LONG to actually get consistently profitable?
Tired of it being so much harder than it seems like it should be to make profits, consistently and reliably?
