Most people find comfort in the familiarity of their everyday life and only venture out for the unusual in small doses. For a trader whose world has turned upside down, this generally means that his performance in trading will suffer as well. Feeling cursed Marco had a right to feel cursed. His wife, Janet, lost her high paying job, which allowed him to be a trader. Marco was laid off from being an engineer, but was happy to make the transition to full time trading. He was showing promise in his trading when everything in his life started to fall apart. Marco found out that Janet was having an affair with her boss. The boss’ wife gave her husband an ultimatum to have Janet fired. Eventually, Marco lost his wife when the ex-boss decided he could not live without her. Marco’s son, from a previous marriage, was stealing and selling drugs to keep his cocaine habit going. And to top off Marco’s predicament, his house went up in flames in the Santa Barbara fires before he had a chance to sell it. Now he is living with his sister and his son is in rehab. I received a call from Marco, who I knew from his attending one of my seminars. Like the typical trader, in spite of all of his problems, all he wanted to talk about was how to make his trading work for him again. While others who have called about dealing with change do not have as dramatic a story as Marco, an increasing number of traders are calling me about how to deal with problems related to change. Here are some of the steps I have given those who have sought my help to handle difficult times where they must change: · Make a plan as if you were someone else who had all of your good characteristics, talents and resources, but did not have the resistance to change. (When you operate from a different perspective, you will not have to deal with the emotions that create the resistance) · Within that plan, have specific easy steps that you can accomplish immediately. (Easy steps will give you the momentum toward the more difficult steps) · Enlist people in your life to assist you with carrying out your plan. (People love to help and feel useful if you do not ask for something that will make them feel uncomfortable) · Organize your environment. (This helps you with focus) · Take a trip in your mind to the end of your life. Look back to this moment in time and see how you not only survived but also thrived in making good choices leading to the life you want to live. (This gives your neurology a path and creates in you a part that will seek out opportunity) · Go back to your Trading Business Plan and revisit your rules that have worked for you. If your rules are no longer working, then seek out the help of a Trading Coach. If you cannot follow good rules, then seek out the assistance of a Trader’s Coach.…………………… (From this new foundation you can rebuild your strategy and yourself) · If you must work to support yourself in another profession, then trade full time for only one to two hours a day. (I know a number of traders who earn more money from their full time 2 hour a day trading profession than they do from their 8 hour job) Conclusion The only way to become unstuck and give up difficult circumstances is by taking the initiative to make changes. If your emotions, the feeling of being cursed and not knowing which way to turn are holding you back, then seek out help. You will only make the situation worse by not doing anything. Remember, that taking action as a result of a well-defined plan will lead you toward the changes necessary to have a fulfilling life.
