I had the ABSOLUTE Pleasure of meeting with the day trading group $ “Rich Stay Home Dads” $ today to explore mindset and thought processes that can create good decisions or bad habits. “The Psychology of Trading.”
Here is a snippet of what we discussed:
1) What drives us. Most of us come from a background where scarcity and lack existed at some point. This creates a drive and determination to provide generational wealth for our families and not go back to lack.
🗺️ 2) Thinking traps are born because of that desire to avoid lack. “What ifs” take root to trap us in the spiral of anxious thinking. This can impact our ability to make sound decisions.
💪🏾 3) Fear can be used to drive us or limit us. Fear of lack is a strong motivator to push towards our goals and it can also create a mindset of desperation leading to “impulse trades.”
🧭 4) Set backs can be used as learning opportunities. The days that you lose money can provide a wealth of information and insight with the right amount of curiosity. The “L” in “I took an ‘L’ today” can be reframed to mean “Lesson” or “Learning” instead of “Loss.”
🐢 5) “Slow and steady wins the race” is more than a cliche, it’s a mindset. The outcome you seek is there. Find your groove and improve your process. Take your time.
👑 6) “Seek Ye First the Kingdom…” My Pastor reminded me of this nugget. Do this and the outcome you seek will come. My passion is heightened because I seek God through my mission to guide others towards healing. These guys were encouraged to focus on God and then their discipline and process will lead to their outcome.
💸 7) A side hustle mindset and approach will yield side hustle results. A lack of effort, study, time, and discipline will certainly produce restricted learning and limited earnings. This is not a “get rich quick” career. It requires faith, patience, discipline, and a willingness to be coached. Statistics show that only a small number make it.
🧮 8)Not by our plan, but God’s…grief found its way into the room and a couple of the guys were able to process how loss impacts their process (loss of a job and the death of a parent). It’s all valid loss and can certainly impact decisions and process.
Those are only a few gems.
The group founder and leader, affectionately referred to by the guys today as “Coach,” does not take his mission and heart to lead his group lightly. He remembers learning the process, mostly self taught. He has the mindset and heart of a true leader and I was honored to be trusted and invited in the room to offer a few extra nuggets of wisdom to the wise.
