To reach your greatest potential, no matter what your field, you've got to think like an entrepreneur.

But most of us don't do that. Why?

The problem is that our country's educational system is teaching us that the best thing is to go out and get a degree and go work for a boss.

But if we look at the Bible, it says something different. The Bible says that a job, or a wage, is a good thing if we're starting out–but it's not the end. It's a means to the end.

What should our goal be if not to get a good job? Our goal should be to start a business–one that you own.

So how can you start to think like an entrepreneur and activate God's plan for your financial and career life? That's what today's episode is all about!

Although our show is all about trading and finance, today's topic is about a much bigger picture. Today on the show we're talking about reaching your greatest potential in the most important areas of your life.

I'll be covering:

• Why in today's world we need asset protection more than ever, and how to do that through entities
• How to find real and lasting happiness in family life
• What true success, or fruitfulness, feels like
• What it means to be truly blessed (spiritually, relationally and financially)
• And more!

Right now we've got a volatile market, high inflation, and the Fed's ramping up the interest rates. So this is the perfect time to talk to you about keys to success in a bearish market.

The fact is, right now it's just a difficult market to trade in for the average person.

When you have the right skill sets, though, it's a whole different ball game.

When you have the right skill sets, you'll be able to say, "Well, it's an up or a down market, and neither are bad because I have skills to make money in an up market and I have the potential to make money in a down market."

And that's the mindset you'll have once you've had a great stock trading education.

In this episode we'll cover:

• What the First Year of the Next New Bull Market is and why this is the perfect time to study up on it
• How many corrections the market will typically make per year, and how to look for them
• What a 'good bear crash' looks like and why you WANT to see one
• What "perfect and certain opportunities" look like in stock trading

Remember–don't just jump out and reach for trades because you like to be in the market. Wait for the perfect trade!

When you first get interested in stock trading, you might find friends and family coming out of the woodwork to give you advice.

Some of it's good, but most of it's bad!

That's because trading does not work like the world tells you it works.

So what IS good advice for a beginning stock trader? That's what we're going to cover in todays' episode.

In this episode I'll cover

• Why I recommend keeping it simple at first
• Why it's important to learn a stock trading system and what this can do for your trading
• Where to focus on next once you have the basics of trading down
• Why you DON'T want to mess with penny stocks
• The difference between value stocks and growth stocks–and why you should be buying BOTH

Did you know that God will always bring some tribulation and trouble to a new entrepreneur before He brings a great amount of success?

Your patience will be tested before the Lord grants you the privilege of being a steward of a lot of his money.

The Bible assures us of this.

If you embrace this and understand it, God may well turn you into an entrepreneur. Living it gives you the potential to be turned into a wealthy one.

How do you know if God is testing you as an entrepreneur? And what can you do to come through the tribulations and ultimately find success and a safe haven?

Listen to this week's podcast episode to find out!

In this episode we'll cover

• What to do if you just feel like quitting sometimes (listen to this podcast first!)
• Why you have a huge advantage over other entrepreneurs who don't know how to pray
• Why it's so important to "give God the glory" as a Christian entrepreneur
• WHY God allows trials and tribulations to come into your life
• And more!

"The whole thing is God's business. It's not ours. We're in business with Him because we're his children. It's not ours. We're just stewards of His stuff. It really helps to understand that money is just a tool, it's His money, and all the assets are His assets, and we're just working with Him in His family business." -David Mitchell

"The sittin' and the waitin' is important. You have to sit and wait for all factors to come together to merge into the perfect play." -Jesse Livermore

One of the most important traits of a great trader is patience. You have to know how to sit on your hands and wait.

It takes patience to not be in the market all the time. It takes patience to wait for a great play.

And if you don't have the patience to wait for a great play, you'll reach for a mediocre play. (And you really don't want to do that.)

Jesse Livermore knows something about waiting.

He predicted the crash of 1929. As a matter of fact he made $100,000,000 in one day (that's about 1.7 billion dollars today) shorting stocks right before the crash.

What did Jesse Livermore know that other traders didn't? That's what today's episode is all about.

One of the great keys to successful trading is "playing the math."

This means you have a SMALL expense if your trades go the wrong way and you have to stop it out.

And you have a LARGE win when it goes your way.

Now this is the important part–you do NOT want to win small.

You've gotta win BIG. And by that I mean you need to let the stock go all the way to your sell point before you jump out of it.

This is how seasoned traders think. But there's one thing in particular that makes the mindset of a seasoned trader different. What is it? We're going to find out in today's episode…

In this episode I'll cover …

• Why it's essential to focus MORE on managing risk than on what kind of profit you could make
• How to be like the pros by making a plan for each trade (and then trading your plan)
• How managing your emotions can take you to the next level as a trader (and how to do it)
• The biggest mistake I see new traders make (and what the pros do instead)

And much more!

Did you know that the amount of wealth that you have the potential to create for you and your family is directly proportional to the amount of educated risk you are willing to take?

If you're afraid of losing money in the stock market, you're not alone. But have you ever thought about WHY it scares you?

Have you ever questioned whether that makes logical sense?

The thing is, the American school systems have been systematically rooting out the entrepreneurial spirit of America for the last 50 years.

Whether it's first grade, twelfth grade or the college systems, there's hardly anything at all taught about entrepreneurship, about money, or about how money works in our schools.

Even in an MBA program you're mostly learning how to work for a higher boss in a big corporation–not how to run a business yourself.

But if you go back just a little farther in history, the original American style was to have a family business where each generation teaches the next generation the family skill sets.

Over time, those skill sets would add up and become incredible–so that the young people coming up in the family business have a strategic and competitive advantage in the marketplace.

(A very different way of looking at things–and, as we'll see–a more profitable way.)

Which attitude are you fostering in your life? In your family? In your business?

In this very important episode I'll cover …

• What the family business is all about and how it can impact your family's ability to generate wealth in a big way
• How to re-discover your entrepreneurial spirit–and use it to guide your financial and career choices
• What appropriate, educated risk is (and why you need more of it in your life)
• The best way to create ZERO wealth (don't let this be you…)
• How to calculate a risk/return percentage for your stock plays (and what percentage to shoot for)
• The best book I recommend for stock traders wanting to start to change how they think about risk/return

And much more!

Today we're talking about 8 tips for protecting your trades. Some of these are tools, some of these are rules, okay? 😉

Some of these took me 40 years to learn, but if you listen to today's podcast episode you can learn them in 20 minutes. How's that for a deal?

In this episode I'll cover…

• What I tell the students I personally coach about trading

• Why you shouldn't trade with a trading partner called "Surely"

• The BEST way to become a really good professional trader

• Why keepin' the rules is what it's all about

And much more!

A lot of people think they can get up in the morning, get on the internet, place a trade, run off to work and live happily ever after.

But guess what?

That's not going to work.

To make money in the stock market, you need real knowledge about stock patterns and how to use them to place your trades strategically.

Next you need to learn what good buy and sell points are for the various stock patterns.

Because each pattern has its own perfect buy and sell points.

In today's Word on Investing episode, we're going to talk about what some of these common stock patterns are, and the buy and sell points that go along with them…

In this episode I'll cover…

• Some of the best patterns to trade (the ones with the perfect buy points)
• What stock patterns no longer work (you might find them in a book, but that doesn't mean they still work in today's climate)
• What puts are and what you need to know about them
• What a "kiss goodbye" is (and why this is one of the most predictable patterns there is)
