I know it's not going to happen in one year. I know it's not going to happen in two years. So I got to stay the course for as long as I can and give myself a fair shot. So when I started and I was like 18, I was like, hey, I'm going to give this a solid five years. You go to college, it takes four years. So why am I going to give trading one year? Why am I going to give it two years? Let me give it four or five years and let me give it real four, five, four or five years. Not nonsense, not hey, I do it for one month, I take two months off, I do it for three months and I take a year off. No nonstop consistency for a long period of time. That mindset just allowed me to stay the course, keep my head down and just stay locked in.
