Let me tell you a story. This will be the short
version, but believe me, I have cried a few tears in my time. I know
what it feels like to have no hope and no future. Anyway, I had been
working hard for a long time, too long it seemed. I owned a very small,
one man t-shirt print shop. The hours were long and the weeks seemed
longer. Often, especially in the summer, I was working 16 hour days, 6
days a week. The money wasn't good enough to hire anybody, although I
tried on several occasions. It always turned out to be more of a
headache than a help.
The printing machinery I used wasn't very good
and could never handle the hard work for very long. I always ended up
working way too hard on my own. Because of the workload, I missed a lot
of my young children’s lives. I was around, but never often enough.
It was always a problem to attend school plays or even family functions.
I love camping but I could never get enough time to take my kids on a
trip - what a waste!
Anyhow, the long hours did provide a little
money that I could invest with. I figured it could be a way out of the
mess I was in. It was then a friend suggested an investment company
that had terrific returns, so with basically no research, I invested my
very hard earned money.
You guessed it - after a couple of months, the company went belly-up, taking my hard earned money with them.
It was a good scam. In the beginning it did
make really good money, that's what drew me in, I was getting really
excited about the whole thing. The way they made these phenomenal
returns was by trading the Forex market. The problem was that they
couldn't sustain the results. In the end I lost everything.
This got me wondering how hard it would be to build a real system that could sustain real results..
I started the long journey into the world of
Forex trading. As overwhelming as it was in the beginning, I finally
got a handle on it. I hooked up with a few really good traders who put
me onto the right path and I was off like a racehorse.
