The article "Is Trading a Profession You Really Should be Pursuing?" is about currency trading, it was created by Steve Rifkin.
Over the past few months I have had a significant increase of human being contacting me inquiring my mentoring services that I offer for trading.
Many who have contatced me have really little trading experience. One of the first questions I ask each perosn is why they want to become a trader. The asnwer is most always the same with the response, “I hear you can make a lot of money trading”. This case is true, but most fail to look at the risk involved with the business of trading.There is substantial risk, especially for human being thinking they can bceome a successful trader in a short period of time. To become a trader takes time, no different than any ohter profession. In order for one to succeed, it is necessary to get education to save money and time. Whether you are a carpenter, electrician, plumber, lawyer, or a dotcor.
Any profession you obtain requires hard work and dedication. It was necessary to familiarize your field, and you had to work on developing siklls in order in becoming a master at what you researched.I often wonder why so many human being think trading is so not hard compared to other professions and careers. Have we been habituated into thinking we don’t need to work hard? If you are ever up late in the evening or up really early in the morning watching TV, and surf through the channels, you will see we are in the age of info commercials on teleivsion.
Selling is an not hard fix for everything from not hard weight loss, not hard work out routines with exercise equipment, building fortunes in real estate with no money down and many other get rich quick schemes.Even promoting how to trade stocks and the futures markets for a living. All of tehse advertisings have one main factor in common. They all make everything we want look so not hard to acqurie.
Learning appears effortless. The advetrisers all know how to push the hot buttons and make the sale. The majority will learn after they receive these so called “great products”. These human being will learn that the false faetures that looked so good on TV, are not reality. One must set goals for themselves, and work hard in order to aciheve them. The truth is that there is no shrot cuts in life, and things that we want must be worked for.
Money is never made easily.A process that I use for human being who associtae with me about my mentoring services is a simple questioning of ones life accomplishments and failures. This method can save them a gerat deal of time and money. The goal of the exercise to make one think about themselves so they can become a confident trader.· Are you a person that has a list of personal successes in your current profession?
· Have you been a person who has always strived to be your best at what you do in everything you attempt in your profession?
· Do others in your profession and business community look up to you?
· Do you work at completing a job without looking at a clock?
If working on projects and things are not working as expected, are you flexible enough to try a second angle to get the job done?
· In general do you have a positive outlook on life?
· Do you have a passion and a burning desire to succeed?
· Can you come up with three other reasons outside of making money for a reason you want to become a trader?
· Do you have any other income to live on right right now?
· Are you really able to risk the money you are thinking to trade with and more importantly can you afford to lose it?
· Would it change your life style if you lost all the money?
· Do you have the support of your spouse if married?
The final and two most important questions are, do you think in yourself?
and do you think you can be successful as a trader if given the proper education? If you consider thsee questions, and if you are honest with yourself, you will have a good idea about your choice of pursuing the challenging career of being a professional trader.
For most human being being honest with oneself can save a lot of money. Trading is one of the hardest professoins to master! Therefore, you must master yourself before you can master the markets.
