Hi guys, Andrea Unger here.
Have you ever watched a movie which changed your life?
Well, I did, I believe I did.
It was “Breaking Away”, a movie about cycling.
I was on my holidays in San Gimignano, in Tuscany, and a friend and I went to watch this movie.
I came out from the cinema full of enthusiasm and I came out feeling I was a great cyclist, I wanted to be a great cyclist.
So, when I went back home, I asked my parents to buy a bike, a racing bike, and I started riding my bike in the village.
Actually I did not ride that much, I was riding all the time in the village, but nothing special.
And after some time, I met a friend of mine also riding a nice bike, Giovanni, so I challenged him for a race around the village to prove him I was really good.
I really, strongly believed I was good because my mindset was so strong in believing I was a great cyclist after watching that movie, and after cycling all day long, so that I was convinced I could easily beat him.
So, this short race started and I was in the lead, but he was just quiet, behind me, and after a while he got in the lead and he got to catch the victory.
Very simply, I wasn’t able to go as fast as he was.
So I lost, I lost dramatically! So, why am I telling you this?
Just to tell you that I’m not a great cyclist? No! This is important because it means that mindset is important but it’s not all.
It’s not enough to be convinced to be a great cyclist, ok? To be, really be, a great cyclist.
And the same applies to trading.
After that experience, I started training much harder in cycling and we became good friends, Giovanni and I, and also to other guys.
And in the future years, we went for vacations riding our bikes on the Alps, we really did some enjoyable things, but I trained to do that.
In some cases I was in the lead, in some cases I was not.
It was not a race, it was enjoying ourselves. But I became a decent cyclist, on the mountains at least: but I trained hard! I decided to train.
Also in trading, you might believe you are a great trader just because you like to believe it, but if you don’t train hard to become a great trader, you probably are going to fail.
I mean, I’m not telling you this to let you fail, I’m just advising you: to become a good trader you need a good training to become so.
So, if you want to understand at what stage you are in your trading environment, in your trading skills and what could be the solution to become the great trader you wish to become, you can book a free call with one of our tutors and discuss for about 45 minutes about your situation in trading: getting some good advice, some tips, from our tutors who, I said, have a great experience in all our training and all other traders they had a chance to talk to.
This is an occasion for you, it’s completely free, you can book this call and maybe this is a life-changing experience as that movie was for me, but it became only true when I definitely decided to train hard!
