Frequently Asked Questions About One-on-One Coaching
-
How are you different from other “Trading Mentors or Coaches”?
-
What exactly is your Mentoring program and what does it include?
-
How will we work together, and what does the mentoring entail?
-
I’m not sure I’m ready to get started. How can I sample your work to see if it’s right for me?
-
OK, I’m ready to do this for myself, but I have a couple of additional questions. Can I call you?
How did you get started as a full-time trader?
Like many traders, I had a successful professional career in the financial services industry. I reached an executive level at an extremely early age and while participating in the "corporate rat race", I realized how trading part-time was more rewarding and fulfilling for me than my corporate career. From that point, I knew that trading full-time would be even more rewarding and fulfilling!
I decided to build a personalized financial and cash flow plan so that I could eventually pursue trading full-time with the understanding that I had to have a "do–whatever–it–takes–no–matter–how–long–it–takes" attitude and approach to become a successful trader.
I wanted the same things most aspiring traders want, and I created a mind map of where I wanted to go with trading and what I needed to do to get there.
This approach complemented my discovery of my mission, passion, and purpose for wanting to trade full-time and teach aspiring traders.
Through the school of "hard knocks", I discovered the powerful tools and rules that most traders never discover to achieve consistently profitable trading.

Who exactly are your clients?
I work with aspiring traders from around the world who no longer
want to work the 90-hour grind in a traditional career. My clients have come to the realization that
life is too short to waste so much time on work, and while they need to support
themselves and their families, they also want to have time to pursue their hobbies, develop
relationships, and simply enjoy life.
These are individuals who want to create their own opportunities, free of the mind-numbing politics and games involved in working for someone else. They want to have complete and total freedom over their income, the people with whom they work, and the amount of time they devote to trading.
Many of them are just starting out in trading and looking at it as a career transition, or as a
retirement vehicle, while others may have been struggling for many months or
years to find success in day trading.
In all cases, the traders I choose to work with have one thing in common. They want to
pursue their passion, be a consistent profitable trader, and are coachable and "willing" to listen.
Trading is a privilege, and when
you enjoy what you do, you never think about working another day in your life. Aspiring traders are
seeking to profit from what they're passionate about ...trading!
It is a very exciting process to watch an aspiring trader grow and experience huge
mindset shifts that point them towards achieving their goals.

How
are you different from other “Trading Mentors”?
I help traders navigate the trading education landscape and focus on an incremental approach that allows the trader to see how to do IT, understand why IT needs to be done, and then allow them to experience doing IT for themselves.
I serve as an advisor, resource, mentor, strategist, and partner –all rolled up into one. My mentoring and coaching skills come into play when you "mess up" and didn't do what you know you were suppose to do!
I help you see that the biggest obstacle to your success is you and work with
you to help you get out of your own way.
I ONLY work with highly motivated individuals. I keep my mentoring program/client
list extremely small for a reason. If we work together, it's because I'm truly
interested in what you're trying to achieve. I help you focus on breaking through
anything that is holding you back from trading
success.

Who is the
program best for and what is expected of me?
My mentoring programs are designed for aspiring traders who are absolutely
committed, inspired, and willing to be coached, mentored, and can take directions and "run" with them.
You must be willing to roll up your sleeves and get dirty into the details of your trading experiences and performance in order to see what's working and not working with your trading.
return to top
Who is this program
NOT for?
I had to learn the hard way… you can't help everyone! No need for even trying!
I am now extraordinarily selective with whom I want to work with. I choose NOT
to work with those who are not a good fit and who aren't ready to work to get the desired
results. It would be a waste of their time and money.
My mentoring programs are not for those aspiring traders who are struggling financially and are
desperate to make money in the markets in order to support themselves today or have to be successful
next week.
I have found that aspiring traders in financial crisis are not able to easily trust
their own internal guidance system well enough to take the risks required and
have the presence of mind to do the work to get them to the next level.
If you happen to be experiencing some financial difficulties, please know that
I’ve been there too.
Let me suggest the following:
Focus on your priorities! Establish a consistent income source by looking for full or part-time work. This will allow you to breathe easier and give you some peace of mind and take you out of desperation mode. Then contact me when you are ready to get serious about "learning to trade".
Learn and master the basics of trading with all the free resources we offer on the website. The free content and resources I provide will get you started, and when you are ready to work with me in a mentoring program, get in contact with me.
Everyone has "baggage" or problems....it's called LIFE!
If your life consists of one problem or disaster
after another, I am not a good fit for you.

What exactly is your mentoring program and what
does it include?

What do I get for my investment?
I'll be frank -- you get absolutely nothing if you don't do the work. If you're
not ready to roll up your sleeves and get down and dirty, please don't waste
your time (or mine) trying to fix what ails your trading with a mentoring program.
However, if you want an experienced trader by your side mentoring you
every step of the way, you will get sound guidance about how to improve your trading, what
strategies to follow, which strategy are most effective, and what pitfalls
to avoid.
The primary benefit of what you're getting with your investment
in private mentoring is an accelerated "learning curve", learning in a shorter period of time than the 15 years it took me through the school of hard knocks.
I
only wish I'd had someone like me to give it to me straight about "trading for a living" 15 years ago. It would have saved me lots of money, tons of
time, and much heartache.

What results can I expect?
If you're asking, "Will I guarantee your results?"
You already know the answer: NO!
I'd be foolish to do that. Your results
depend on how much work you choose to do and how well you follow the game plan we construct for you to succeed in trading.
I wish I could promise you that it was easy and would
happen instantly with just a little bit of effort. Like any endeavor, trading isn't
easy at first, nor does it happen overnight.
If it were, everyone would be doing it...
However, if you dig in, do the work, and get over your own self-doubts and out
of your own way, you can create an amazing trading story of success that transforms your lifestyle with financial freedom and the time to do what you want, when you want to do it.
return to top
How quickly can I expect results?
Truth be told, it really depends upon your willingness, determination, and tenacity to follow directions and instructions while stepping forward and doing the work required to build a strong foundation for your trading success.
Like many other things in life, you will only get out of trading what you put in.

Does this really work?
Yes! I'll let my clients speak for themselves in the LIVE Trading Room or you can hear some of their testimonials on the Home Page.

How
will we work together and collaborate , and what does the mentoring
program entail?
Our collaboration and mentorship relationship will exist on many different levels:
If you are accepted as one of my clients, you have the convenience of the online calendar to schedule your respective sessions. You will receive additional support from me via email, Skype and "laser–focused" mini sessions through a private desktop sharing application, as well as short 5-10 minute personal calls between sessions as needed for support or brainstorming.
I have a subscription membership website for which I've recorded 100+ hours of online videos about many trading challenges, tools and tactics, strategies, technical analysis, etc. You will receive a complimentary one-year membership to this website, Sunday Live Chart Review and mini presentations. These videos will greatly expand your trading knowledge and enhance your private sessions.
-
You will be expected to complete a Daily Trading Activity Report /Log including some summary trading statistics for your trades to let me know what you've accomplished each week, to convey to me your challenges, and to reveal potential topic(s) to discuss for your next mentoring session.
-
You will also get unlimited access to a private secure data storage location on our servers to upload your work for my review prior to each session. At the end of each session, I'll ask you to commit to certain new or enhanced homework assignments that are designed during the session, tailored specifically and uniquely to your situation.
I have found that by providing my continuous and focused support, my clients are more accountable to their trading efforts and more likely to reach their trading goals faster than they ever would on their own.
return to top
How long would I stay in the private mentoring program?
To get started, I require a minimum commitment of at least 12 sessions. Based on my mentoring experiences, I have found that it takes that long for us to build a trust, establish focus and momentum, and really get into the flow of our mentoring / partnership.
Many clients end up staying substantially longer (on average 6
to 9 months to a year) depending on the size of the gap between where they are now in
their trading and where they want to be.
