When you really break down your day, how much of it are you giving away to waste? How many house do you spend staring at your phone? How much do you spend fantasizing about things you could have done, should have done, would have done? Believe me, I understand. I used to give away so much of my day to useless thoughts, literally burning time. 1 ) Assess how you spend your time The first thing I want you to do—the thing that helped me get a jump start—is to take a log of your average day. Be truly thorough. Write down every time you take out your phone, every time you daydream, every time you kill time on the internet. From morning til night, examine how you really spend your time. Once you’ve done this, review how much time you actually use productively. In my case, I was wasting upwards of five hours a day on negative thinking, time killing, anxiety indulging. I’m not advocating for you to become a capitalist machine, never wasting a minute. I’m advocating for you to spend your time making yourself, and your family more secure. Once you’ve analyzed how much time you’re putting in the wrong places, reorganize so that you’re putting that time into the right places. Generally, this newfound free time comes in the morning before work or in the evening after work. That leads to number 2. 2) Build, and follow, a calendar Every day, for 30 days, I want you to commit to taking that hour and using it to better your financial sense. This is different for every person, but the discipline and dedication will take you far, no matter what. Personally, I used Try2BFunded to first learn how to trade, then learn how to master trading. In essence Try2BFunded offers a way to learn the ropes and, if you’re smart and dedicated enough, earn some serious dough. When I started using Try2BFunded, I was impressed by the intuitiveness of the system. It set me up with the opportunity to make a portfolio based on stocks I was interested in. Once I’d made my portfolio, I had to prove that I could sustain growth and balance risk consistently. Now, I was happy just to be learning the ins and outs of trading. Starting at close to zero knowledge meant that I had a lot to learn. Try2BFunded helped with that. But, after proving that I could maintain growth and balance risk consistently, I was able to take the next step. I was given access to $100,000 of Try2BFunded's money to trade with. We split the profits 60/40 in my favor. Really, it all comes down to time. Both making productive time out of wasted time, and making sure you follow a path that leads to something greater. It takes a bit of work, but the rewards, both financial and personal, can be great.
