like the lack of instant income? hehe Thats the most major thing that I think is tough for people who don't come from sales backgrounds to grasp. I knew it was gonna be tough, and it still is. But I know that by following the plan, it's gonna be OK. Then...I get to reward myself
Good point. When you come from a background where you learned to accept fluctuations in income, transitioning is a little easier to trading. It also helps to have come from a position where earning 'good' money was expected. What I mean is that if you think that 5 or 7 grand a month is good money, you may be leaving a lot on the table. Don't get me wrong, 5 grand a month is a nice income from trading, but coming from a position where you would be fired for earning that, it can light a fire under your butt.
