Achieve your Trading Goals in 2025

Hi there, Brian McAvoy with Inside Out Trading. And you know, if you want to make 20, 25, really awesome year with your trading, now's the time to be, you know, making ready for. Don't wait until January to start getting busy. Really, now's the time. You still got a few weeks left here in December and you can have, you know, you can make a lot of progress before the first of the year. So you really hit the ground running. Now you're sitting here, you may be wondering, it's like, well, you know, I've been trying lots of stuff and, you know, kind of been stuck lately. What can I do? Well, what you can do is try something different. Instead of looking for a new strategy, instead of looking for a new signal service, instead of looking for a new prop firm, you know, focus on developing yourself as a trader. I mean, whenever you invest in yourself, especially if you invest time and energy in yourself, and of course, if you invest money in yourself through training or mentorship, that kind of stuff, that's something that's going to pay off for the rest of your life because you are becoming a better trader. You're becoming more capable, becoming more knowledgeable, more resilient, have better control over your emotions. I mean, when you level yourself up, that changes your game. And that's really cool. Now, so what, what are some things that you can do? Well, there's a variety of good trading books, business books, personal development, professional development books. Again, there's mentoring. You know, if you do need a new strategy, which been working, this ain't working anymore and you kind of lost faith in it, you need something new, okay, maybe go look for a new strategy, but watch out for that because it's so easy to get caught up in the hype and you know, everybody waving money around, all that kind of stuff. But really you want to focus on, you know, getting your psychology in order. You know, learn how to be more consistent. That's where I help traders, you know, just helping you understand how to be consistent and, you know, consistent what you do, because when you're inconsistent, then you're a variable that's costing you money. If your system maybe, you know, you got a good premise but you're not sure how to, you know, you can kind of tell that there's something not quite right about it. It's kind of hard to consistent results out of it. But you like to, you know, you like the strategy, you just would like to be able to systemize it better again. That's something I can help you with. You want to treat your trading like a business. You know, maybe just get a little more organized, put together, you know, a plan for the year on, you know, some goals that you want to reach, you know, with your trading and lay out a plan to get there again. Give me a holler. You can swing by InsideOutTrading.com and you can book a call with me and we can talk about, you know, what's going on with your trading right now and you know, see what really is going to be your best path forward to help you realize the goals that you've got with your trading. I mean, you get into trading because, you know, you want better, you want, you know, you want money, you want to have control over your time, control over your destiny. You know, you may want to be at a point where you can retire and you know, have a nice income, maybe want to, you know, trade and make full time income so that you can quit your job and have control over your life. Spend time with your family, pursue, you know, personal interests like supporting your church or just, you know, life. So, you know, go ahead and like I said, investing in yourself really is the best investment you can make. Whenever I'm talking with my sons or, you know, and the buddies and we're talking about things to invest in and they're kind of sitting there saying, you know, I'm not really sure what to invest in. Investing in yourself is almost always a good answer. I can't think of when it's not, you know, if you can level up, become more capable, more knowledgeable, more skilled, a stronger person, more confident, all that kind of stuff. When you level yourself up, that's a great investment. And again, that's one where it changes your life from here forward. Because now you've leveled up, you're a different person. You're not the same person you were, you know, a week ago or a year ago or five years ago because you've leveled up, you've gotten some training and you've grown. So you're a different person now. And that's cool. And that's really where you've heard of the cycle of, you know, be, do, have before you can have what you want to have, you got to do the things you need to do in order to do the things that you need to do to have those things and do those things effectively. You have to be the person. And what does that mean? Well, you know, as far as like, you know who you need to be. I've heard the one framework, know beliefs, traits and skills and it's really good way to look at it is, you know, yeah, you can level up your beliefs as far as who you are. You know, go ahead and question some of the beliefs that you've held or at least review them and see if, oh, you know, maybe they're not quite as, you know, true as you thought they were. Maybe identify some that are counterproductive. So you look into your beliefs and, you know, as far as your character traits, you know, just in general, could you, you know, maybe be more disciplined, more patient as a person, just in general developing that aspect of yourself? And it's not whether you are or you're. I know the term of her latelets. You know, things are almost nothing's binary. It's just how much of it are you. So, you know, how patient are you, how disciplined are you? And just, you know, moving yourself on the. Along the scale toward the end that you want to be. So you got beliefs and traits and skills, of course, but those are the three kind of categories of things that you can look at as far as who you are and where you can level up that will impact, you know, your quality of life, your ability to make money and be successful. Those are three good categories in which you can look at things. So again, you know, looking ahead to 2025, I'm sure you would love for 2025, regardless of how 2024 went, you would love for next year to be better. And so, you know, it's worth a little bit of time, you know, taking a few minutes and say, yeah, where would I like to see things better? How would I like to see things better? And okay, what can I do to move myself, you know, toward that end? What can I do right now? Especially one of the nice things about the holidays, usually, you know, the end of the year got some time off, and it isn't just time to lay around and, you know, watch Netflix. It's time where you can, hey, you can invest in and be creating the life that you want. Instead of just kicking back and, you know, saying, oh, God, you know, got an escape from the life that I have. It's like, no, this is when you can invest again. Invest the time in yourself, maybe invest money. Books, courses, mentorship, life coaching, whatever. Whatever's going to move you toward your goals and make your life better. Do it now instead of waiting until January. You know, January's, you know, the winter doldrums hit, the holidays are over. It's usually, you know, a little bit of a letdown in energy, and it's really hard to get things going then. So now is really the time to take care of it. And if you'd like my help, love to, you know, have a talk with you. There's no, no charge for the call. Point you in the right direction. If I can help you, great. If not, I can point you in the direction of a variety of other people depending on your needs that will, you know, they are good, they'll help you. I wouldn't send you anybody to anybody that I don't know well and know that they are of integrity and we'll get your results. So I just want to see you have a better year next year than this year. Not to imply that this year was necessarily bad. Maybe you had a good year this year. Would it be better? I mean, wouldn't it be great if next year was even better? Cool. If this year kind of sucked? Well, yeah, let's make next year better. Get it on the, you know, the positive end of the scale. So anyway, swing by Inside out trading dot com. Now's the time to be looking ahead.
