Hey there,

If you've been struggling with your trading, beating yourself up over mistakes, drowning in self-doubt…

I need to tell you something important:

You're not broken. You never were.

The fact that you're reading this right now is proof you already have what it takes to be a successful trader.

Let me explain.

The Lie We Tell Ourselves

When trading gets tough, we create these stories about ourselves:

“I must have some subconscious limiting belief.”

“I have issues with money from my childhood.”

“I lack discipline and emotional control.”

“Some trauma from my past is sabotaging me.”

Here's the truth: If any of those things were actually stopping you, you wouldn't be in a position to trade in the first place.

Think about it.

You've Already Proven You're a Winner

The fact that you can fund a trading account proves you've already overcome any real obstacles:

• You've been disciplined enough to build wealth
• You've been successful enough to have capital to trade with
• You've managed other aspects of your life successfully
• You're okay enough with success that you're already a successful person

Sure, maybe there was some childhood stuff. We were kids – everything was traumatic. But you got over it sufficiently to become a successful adult.

So why does trading feel so hard?

The Thing Nobody Talks About

Trading looks deceptively simple.

There are no barriers to entry. If you can fund an account, you can trade. No degree required. No certification. No test to pass.

It feels like an entry-level job. Buy low, sell high. Click green and red buttons. Easy, right?

Wrong.

This Is Professional-Level Speculation

You're competing with:

• International banks
• Institutional traders with 30 years of experience
• Literally millions of other traders
• Everyone fighting for the same money

Just because you're not sitting across the table from them doesn't mean you're not competing.

Every trade has a winner and a loser. And everyone's trying to be on the winning side.

Think about it like poker. Sure, you understand how it works. Bet big with a good hand, fold with a bad one.

But does understanding the game mean you can make a living at it? Of course not.

Even Break-Even Is Losing

Here's something most traders don't realize:

If you're break-even, you're actually losing twice.

You're not getting paid for your time. Your capital isn't making any money.

Don't rest on your laurels just because you're not losing. If you want to trade for a living, you've got to get good at this game.

How I Know You Can Do This

My first year? I didn't know what I was doing. Flying by the seat of my pants. Not approaching trading with the proper respect.

I blew up my account. Lost almost $50,000.

When I finally took a break and talked to a friend, she said: “Brian, you're wildly successful at your plant as a quality assurance manager. Why don't you take that and apply it to your trading?”

Duh.

Quality Assurance Changed Everything

Quality assurance is all about intentional, consistent success.

It's about:

• Getting very intentional about what you're doing
• Establishing consistency so outcomes become predictable
• Focusing on the process until output becomes reliable

The Japanese figured this out in the 1980s. Edward Deming taught them to focus on the process, get it dialed in, and the output takes care of itself.

Hence the name: Quality Assurance. You're assured of quality because the process is solid.

You Don't Have Psychological Issues

You have incomplete training issues.

Think about your current job. It's probably way more sophisticated and complex than trading. But you handle it just fine because you're equipped for it.

When you're properly equipped to deal with the challenges of trading, it becomes just as easy.

You've been successful at other things because you had the proper training and tools. Trading is no different.

This Is a Learnable Skillset

90 days or less. Usually takes about 60 days.

I've had guys complete the process in two and a half weeks and say, “I'm solid. I'm good.”

Some traders push back: “Brian, I know how to trade.”

Sure. I know how to golf too. Doesn't mean I can make a living at it.

Understanding the game doesn't make you good enough to profit from it consistently.

Why Discipline and Willpower Fail

I meet traders who've been at this for 5, 10, even 20 years, still fighting the same issues.

Why?

Because they keep relying on discipline, willpower, and emotional control.

They focus on strategy. They focus on psychology. But they never change their approach.

You need a process. Once you have the process, things work. You stay settled down. Your emotions aren't a problem.

When you're 100% equipped for this job – not 80%, not 90%, but 100% – trading becomes no more difficult than your day job.

Success Is an Inside Job

I have only two quotes hanging on my wall. This is one of them:

“The person who got you where you are right now is not the same person who's going to take you to the next level. That person is completely different. Every level is completely different from the last one, and you're going to need to be a different person to get there.

You must continually let go of who you have been in order to serve who you are becoming.”

Who Do You Need to Become?

You need to let go of who you've been as a trader.

Appreciate that person – they brought you to this point. But be willing to become who you need to be to succeed at this.

Imagine trading serving you the way you always wanted:

• Providing financial freedom and security
• Giving you the flexibility to travel
• Allowing you to walk away from what you're doing now
• Letting you participate in the parts of life you truly want

Not a Magic Strategy or Psychological Hack

This is about becoming someone who simply has a handle on this.

Someone who knows what they're doing. Someone who's solid. Someone who has that deep knowing about their strategy and execution.

No fear about the markets. No fear about financial security.

Just confidence, because you've become who you needed to become.

Ready to Become the Trader You're Capable of Being?

Are you ready to stop trading alone and feeling so isolated?

In those moments when you're likely to do something you regret, would it be helpful to get on a call with me?

How about if you just want to be able to talk with someone once in a while who truly understands what you're dealing with and can offer genuine help based on actual trading experience?
