Navigate Trades with Strategic Decisions

Hi, Brian McAvoy here with Inside Out Trading. Today we're going to talk about something that you do every single day, and it can be a really big deal. As a matter of fact, it is every single day, believe it or not. So you want to pay attention to this. Again, this is something that you do every single day. You do it a lot every day. And how you go about this, if you pay attention to it, this can have a big effect on both your daily stuff and, believe it or not, your entire future. Because what are we talking about? Well, we're talking about decisions. And here's the thing, some decisions you're making, you know, on a very conscious basis. You know, like when you're placing your trades, you're looking at the charts, you're deciding what you're looking at, what it means, what you're going to do about it, all that kind of stuff. So you have your conscious level decisions, but believe it or not, you're making, like, literally thousands of decisions every single day. And some of them, many of them, most of them, as a matter of fact, are you making really kind of by default, you're making them subconsciously. And here's why this is such a big deal, because here's a great example. I mean, every day. Every single day, you know, you're choosing to. You're making the decision to, you know, go about your trading the way you do. And most days it's going to be the same as it was yesterday and probably the same as last week. And the thing is, you know, if. If you're not happy with the way things are going, you probably, you know, it probably would be in your best interest to, you know, maybe make a different decision, to make the decision to do things differently than you have, instead of just, you know, continuing to just plot along, doing the same thing, thinking that, you know, somehow magically, things are going to turn around. And here's what I'm talking about as far as the, you know, just basically unconscious decisions. I mean, years ago, when I was still married, having a conversation with my wife, we were talking about things, you know, just kind of a philosophical conversation. And, you know, we've had our bump. We'd had our bumps along the way. And it occurred to me, it's like, you know, and every single day for the last several years, you know, last many years, every single day, we've made the decision every day to, you know, stay married, and the day may come when one or both of us decide, you know, I don't want to be married to you anymore. And it was really kind of a matter of fact thing at the time, but it actually is very true. And sometimes there are days when we make decisions out of the ordinary, sometimes, you know, without thinking. Those are big decisions that, you know, cause things to go wrong. You know, like you decide. You decide to go ahead and, you know, have that spot, you know, that big fight with your spouse, you know, let your anger get out of hand, maybe, you know, do something stupid, whatever. But, you know, sometimes there are decisions that really have a big impact on your life in a negative way. But the cool thing is if we pay attention to it, we can also make those. Those. Some of those bigger decisions that have an impact on our life in a very positive way. And here's what I'm talking about. Maybe, you know, for however long you've been trading, you know, several months or even a few years, you know, you've been trying it, you know, watching YouTube videos, going to webinars, you know, reading maybe a book or two. But for the most part, you know, you're just kind of pursuing it on your own with a little bit of help, you know, from here and there from, you know, different information sources. And maybe it would really be, you know, worth your while and really move the needle if you made the decision one day to, you know, get a mentor and work with somebody, live one on one, where you have that interaction and, you know, get some direct help from somebody, you know, helping you become, you know, the kind of trader that you need to be and work with a mentor who can, you know, guide you down the path from where you know, who you are now to who you want to become, where you need to be. And so, you know, those are the kind of decisions that it's really good for you to pay attention to. Like I said, you know, the decisions that we make, we make thousands of decisions every single day. And a lot of times those little decisions that we're making on autopilot, if we keep making them, that's why we're not seeing, you know, the changes in our life that we'd like. And so it's real important to make the decision to once in a while, you know, say, I'm going to step back, take a look at things and maybe make a different decision. And when you do, that's the cool thing because that's those, you know, those can be big decisions that have a big impact on. On your life and your future. So it's something that can impact your life both now and for the long term. Both. And it's really cool. Instead of just continuing to, you know, continue to operate kind of on autopilot, making the same decision subconsciously and without really giving it any thought and then having a whole bunch of time pass and then, you know, you look at it and say, God, you know, God, I can't believe three years have gone by and I basically feel like I'm, you know, in the same spot I was three years ago or a year ago or whatever. But all this time it's just slipped through my hands and I don't feel, you know, I feel like I have nothing to show for it. Make a decision to do things differently so you can have, you know, some progress. Have something to show for your time and all your effort. Anyway, again, it's, it's really important. The little decisions we make every day, you know, add up and sometimes we need to step back and stop making little decisions on autopilot. Make conscious decisions, truly, you know, make a difference. You only get one shot at this life. And so we need to make the most of it while we're here. Not, you know, not let time slip by.
