The past few days, possibly because of the weather being so dismal and gloomy, I have been, lets just say, “unenthusiastic” when it comes to my workouts.
I try and push myself to get in 30 minutes of something- anything to motivate me to stay awake. I truly look forward to my weekend of rest and recharging.
Typically I need the entire weekend of inactivity to regain that energy and exuberance after a long work week, and I find myself pushing harder in the beginning of the week with new found ambition and vitality. I can push myself to have more power in my routine and tell myself today is the day I will do better and lift more weights, run faster, even smile more.
In most professions, this take force attitude and moxie tends to lead to reward.
In Sales, for instance, you can decide that today is the day you’re going to make 10 new contacts, initiate 10 more meetings, send out 10 more proposals.
In Real Estate, you can show 10 more houses. In Education you can teach 10 more math equations or read 10 more stories to your class. In Law you can take on 10 more cases. Even in Medicine you can operate on 10 new patients. There are so many benefits that come from pushing yourself to act aggressively and with extra energy, vivacity and drive.
In trading, HOWEVER, forcing the market is futile. You can’t just wake up on Monday morning and decide that after a weekend of recharging you are going to crush it today. Unlike any other vocation, the market is in control, not the other way around. You can’t just decide that today is the day you will make the winning trade. If you try and force a set up you will inevitably lose money.
The key is to be ready ALL the time. By having that energy and enthusiasm ready to go at all times you will be able to recognize the trade when the set up is there.
If you are working with that same focused and sharp mindset, you can recognize the opportunities to conquer the market when the time is appropriate.
The key is to remain focused and prepared on a continual basis. By acting unrelentingly you will be prepared to take advantage of the market when the time is right.
