A Prince who’s Legacy Reignn’s forever in Faith & Justice

Well if that is not a cryptic title...lol! My father came up with this saying some years ago and it incorporated 3 very important drivers in my life. It originally was “A Prince who’s Legacy Reignn’s Forever. Since that time we’ve added “in Faith & Justice.”  If your not picking up what I am dropping these are the names of my children. I am married with 5 children and my kids (not excluding my wife because she is the backbone) are my reasons WHY I want to become a successful stock/options trader and investor. We all must have a WHY to succeed in any endeavor we do. You WHY is what will push you to go the extra mile in studying  another hour of the market. Read an additional 10 pages of your book of the month. Save & invest the 10-20-30 percent from your paycheck to fund your future.

And as you will see in the charts what the stock did would not have been beneficial for some plays to continue to hold.    Setup: Bought NVDA when the it bounced up off a key support/EMA (typically 20ema or 50ema) and a bounce up as the EFT was up trending.  Looking to invest roughly $10,000 or less each quarter.

Overcoming the Fears of Network Marketing: My 20-Year Journey

  Overcoming the Fears of Network Marketing: My 20-Year Journey Hey there, fellow network marketers! I’ve been in this game for over 20 years now, and let me tell you, it’s been a rollercoaster. I’ve worked with multiple companies, faced countless challenges, and yes, I’ve had my fair share of fears. If you’re new to this industry, you might be feeling some of those same fears right now. I get it. I was there once too, and sometimes I still find myself wrestling with those same worries. The Fear of Running Out of Prospects One of my biggest fears when I first started was running out of prospects. You know that sinking feeling when you’ve reached out to everyone you know, and you’re not sure who to talk to next? Yeah, I’ve been there. In those early days, I felt like my network was shrinking instead of growing. I worried that I’d hit a dead end and be stuck with no one left to recruit. But here’s what I learned: You’ve got to keep going. Consistency is key. I started atten...
