I just lost my job today!
Long story short, I got a call today that my position is being relocated in about 2 weeks. However, I am EXCITED! Why? Because I am going to pursue my dream of working for myself and becoming a full time trader and investor if I decide not to relocate with the company. I have talked about working for myself for a long time and now the opportunity may have come for me to do so. I know easy isn't an option but if it is going to be hard, then I will do it hard.
I am not going to lie and say that the call wasn't shocking but there was a strange calm as I was being told about that changes....like life was speaking to me and saying "This is your opportunity! I handed you lemons. Get some sugar and water, squeeze the juice out of those lemons, get some cups and go sell it!"
So, what is one to do who will soon be on the unemployment line? What should I do??
Option #1: I will go to the nearest bar, drink until I can't see straight and come home to my wife a hot mess.
Option #2: I could double-down on my investing / trading education, pick up the remaining 3 videos from ClayTrader's Robotic Trading Skill Sharpening course, make YouTube my b*tch and watch various educational videos to fill in any gaps, stay in StockCharts' Chart School until I get a Ph.D
, study, practice, improve, repeat and just be an active sponge for knowledge until investing and trading become second nature.
Option #2 sounds like it will be the best choice.
This is a win-win situation for me either way I decide. On one hand, I get to keep my job and relocate to another state (I won't be able to trade if I work in the new office). On the other hand, I will begin working for myself and changing the destiny of my family for generations to come. I can envision the day I get so good at trading, I can trade from a my hotel suite while on vacation if I choose to.
Don't cry for me! Get excited and stay motivated because I, sure as hell, am motivated to take life on, take this opportunity by the collar and squeeze it until it gives up my dream of working for myself and enjoying life boss-free.
Sponge time!
