Josh Blog #2 – Gratitude

by | Jun 20, 2018

For the past few years I have been following and got the chance to meet some extremely successful  entrepreneurs outside the trading world who all had one thing in common, they preached and exuded gratitude. As I sit here, I am grateful to be writing this to all of you in IU. This wonderful platform that has nothing to do with GURUS or “FURUS” and alert based trading, which has been a very popular conversation as of recent. We as a collective are lucky enough in this day and age to have the ability to be on a platform to better ourselves as traders through idea generation and accessibility to top-notch mentors. I believe its important to express internal and external gratitude while on your trading journey.The fact that you have access to an array of talented traders with a variety of different strategies and skill sets makes you lucky. In addition, I am grateful for some of the close friendships that have come from being in this room. I implore you to REACH OUT,  ask as many questions as you can when trying to up* your trading game. I think you will be surprised to what you can get out of this room if you use it.  YOU HAVE ALL ACCESS to people willing to help you, what is better than that? Be Grateful,

  3. Amen, I can say for a fact as someone who has practiced gratefulness journaling for over a year now, I can say for a fact it IS life changing. Truly allows you to view the world in a different way. Plenty to be grateful about within the trading community… even having the ability to trade at all! Plenty more to be grateful outside of trading, a place to shit and sleep? Highly recommend people to practice gratitude, thanks for sharing this post! On and upwards!
