How to practice extreme ownership:
(and say sorry less often) 

People say 'sorry' way too much in life

The value of a sorry means nothing now

You know what does have value? Owning it 


I used to say sorry for everything.

Even when it wasn't my fault:

↳ I'm sorry you have to get up
↳ I'm sorry you didn't like your choice
↳ I'm sorry you have to restart your computer 


 🚩 Over-apologizing hurts our credibility.

Here's how high performers handle apologies and maintain respect:

Asking Questions
❌ Sorry if this is stupid
✅ I'd like some clarity on...

Can't Attend
❌ Sorry I can't make it
✅ I have a previous commitment 

Making Requests
❌ Sorry to bother you
✅ When you have a moment...

Setting Boundaries
❌ Sorry, but I need...
✅ Here's what works for me

Running Late
❌ Sorry I'm late
✅ Thanks for your patience

Small Mistakes
❌ Sorry about that
✅ I'll fix this right away

Following Up
❌ Sorry to bug you
✅ I'm following up on our discussion

During meetings
❌ Sorry to interrupt
✅ I have something to add

Asking for Feedback
❌ Sorry if I did this wrong
✅ I'd like your feedback on this

Getting Feedback
❌ Sorry I messed up
✅ Thanks for the feedback

Getting Attention
❌ Sorry for talking so much
✅ Thank you for listening

Missing A Deadlines (don't miss deadlines is easier) 
❌ Sorry for the delay
✅ I appreciate your flexibility


Save "sorry" only when its truly needed. 

Your words have meaning. 
Your words shape how you are perceived 
Choose your words wisely.

I’ve learned not to hold people hostage 
to who they used to be.

We all carry outdated versions of ourselves: 

mistakes we’ve made
ignorance we’ve acted on 
pain caused before we knew better 

I’ve seen how one bad chapters can become someone’s whole story in the eyes of others 

But people grow
They stumble
They learn 

They often try to make things right. 

We all have regrets
but that doesn’t mean we can’t begin again.
I’ve watched friends become softer,
more grounded. 

Change isn’t always dramatic
it’s often slow and quiet. 


But it’s real. 


When we dismiss someone for who they were
we miss who they’ve worked to become.

No one should be forever judged
by a version they’ve outgrown.

If we offer ourselves grace
we should offer it to others too.

in 2026 let's all try to do a better job at this.

10 things to ask in your next Job Interview,
(And what NOT say):

Interviews are like any first meetings,
Awkward and uncomfortable.

They only give you 60 minutes to:

✅ See if you’re a fit.
✅ Sell your strengths.
✅ Show your enthusiasm.

To do your research is to be prepared
Practice what you'll say and how you'll say it

Avoid saying these 10 things:
(And what to say instead)

1/ "I don't have any questions."
↳ Why: Shows zero preparation or interest
↳ Instead: Ask specific questions about the team's current projects or culture

2/ "I’ll take any job right now."
↳ Why: Signals desperation, kills your negotiating power
↳ Instead: Highlight skills that match specific role

3/ "I don't like taking direction."
↳ Why: Makes you seem un-coachable
↳ Instead: Share how you've grown from feedback

4/ "I don’t have any weaknesses."
↳ Why: Sounds unrealistic and arrogant
↳ Instead: Share a real weakness and how you're improving

5/ "I hate my current boss."
↳ Why: Raises red flags about professionalism
↳ Instead: Focus on your career growth goals

6/ "I'll figure it out as I go."
↳ Why: Suggests you don’t prepare
↳ Instead: Emphasize your (proven) ability to learn quickly

7/ "This is a stepping stone for me."
↳ Why: Companies don't want to invest in short-term employees
↳ Instead: Share your interest in growing with the company

8/ "What's your work-from-home policy?" (too early)
↳ Why: Makes work flexibility seem like your top priority
↳ Instead: First discuss role, fit and get them interested

9/ "What time do people leave?"
↳ Why: Implies you're just watching the clock
↳ Instead: Ask about daily workflows and responsibilities

10/ "I don't handle stress well."
↳ Why: Suggests you'll crack under pressure
↳ Instead: Describe how you organize work to manage deadlines

Remember:
Be Prepared and be positive, they go a long way.

This is why most people quit.

When
it takes
more work
than we thought
it would.

It’s way easier to:

- quit
- make excuses
- get discouraged
- go watch Netflix
- grab a bottle of booze
- go and smoke weed and zone out 


Instead, set yourself up to win by:

- setting time blocks
- setting expectations
- setting up exact tactics
- setting up a realistic timeline


Our aspirations are always greater
then the reality of how much work it is.

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to recognize,

10 signs you are an emotional intelligent powerhouse:

 vent or just be left alone.

3. You absorb emotional tension
↳ People naturally calm down when talking to you
 even if you don't say much.

↳ You know exactly who needs all the details 
 and who just wants the headlines.

 because they trust your judgment.

9. You sense when meetings go off track
↳ You recognize the moment people start checking
 their phones more.

10. You spot hidden burnout
↳ You notice when colleagues aren’t themselves
 even if they try to hide it.

7 simple rules for an amazing life 

Hard truth: every relationship is transactional
(here's how to make it work for you)
 
Every connection runs on exchange.
Some trade trust, others trade time or attention
The flow is always there.


Work is clear.
You get paid. You perform.
The deal is direct and defined.

Friendship is quieter.
No terms, but the contract exists.
Support, loyalty and time are traded.


Scarcity mindset
When you meet someone for gain,
you think short term.
You ask before you give.
Trust fades before it grows.


Growth mindset
See people as long term partners.
Invest first. Listen first. Give first.
That is how trust compounds.


Here are 8 ways to build social capital:

1. Play long term games
↳ Act like every bond will last decades.

2. Build before you need
↳ Offer help early, without a return.

3. Make introductions
↳ One link can create years of value.

4. Stay in touch
↳ Send notes. Celebrate wins. Show up.

5. Invest in depth
↳ Spend real time when it matters most.

6. Earn reputation
↳ Do work that speaks when you are silent.

7. Be patient with asks
↳ Quick favors reveal short term thinking.

8. Think in decades
↳ What if this person stayed for 40 years?


Charisma can open doors fast.
But trust keeps them open.
Short term charm fades.
Consistency endures.


Strong relationships are built slowly.
They outlast opportunity.


P.S. Do you agree?

Here is a list of things that are not doing the thing:

“Preparing to do the thing 
isn't doing the thing.

Scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Making a to-do list for the thing isn't doing the thing.

Telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing 
isn't doing the thing.

Writing a banger tweet about how you're going to do the thing 
isn't doing the thing.

Hating on yourself for not doing the thing 
isn't doing the thing.

Hating on other people who have done the thing 
isn't doing the thing.

Hating on the obstacles in the way of doing the thing 
isn't doing the thing.

Fantasizing about all of the adoration you'll receive once you do the thing 
isn't doing the thing.

Reading about how to do the thing 
isn't doing the thing.

Reading about how other people did the thing 
isn't doing the thing.

Reading this essay isn't doing the thing.

The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.” 

— Strangest Loop

Now go do the thing

I’ve mistaken movement for momentum.
Being too busy, as if that’s winning.

It isn't.

I’ve seen teams sprint nonstop:

endless activity
new projects
new goals

And yet months later,
they wonder why nothing has changed.

Because motion isn’t momentum.
And being busy isn’t progress.

Speed is exciting.
It makes us feel like we’re ahead.

But without direction,
 you’re just running in circles, faster.

True momentum requires:

✅  Clear goals
✅ Aligned priorities
✅ Consistent execution

The ones who live their dreams
aren’t the fastest.

They’re the most focused.

💡 Progress isn’t about speed.
 It’s about moving forward with intention.


👉 Do you ever confuse busy with progress?

Two things that hold most people back:

1. Fear of failure.
2. Fear of embarrassment. 

Everyone has to climb cringe mountain 
to make it to the land of cool. 
Easy to say right?

The only true way to beat the thing
is by doing the thing. 

So just start doing it.

don't think about doing it
don't write about doing it 
don't say you're gonna do it tomorrow
don't tell someone else you're doing it 

just do the thing. 

when you find one path that doesn't work
take another path.

You're aloud to change course 
anytime you want to, 
as many times as you want. 

who cares what anyone thinks. 


When I ran marketing for a fortune 500 brand
I had major restrictions on me

→ My job
→ My boss
→ The optics 
→ The company I worked for

You're not aloud to be an online person
when you worked at a fortune 500 company
and anytime you're speaking anywhere
you are speaking for that brand

today, its different. 

brands are looking for:

→ people that have audiences already. 
→ that can articulate and communicate well. 
→ That aren't scared to talk to people or the camera. 
→ That think fast on their feet. 

Today you have access to the biggest stage in the world
You don't need a Tedtalk

You need your smart phone and thick skin. 

Thats it. 

Use that smart phone
Develop that thick skin 
or you'll always fear

Bill Fanter

Former bank executive with 35 years of experience | Options trading expert who has taught 500+ students | Join my Masterclass to learn the strategy I used to create a 6-figure income stream

Want to break free from the 9-to-5 grind?

When I was stuck in the 9-to-5 cycle:

- I felt trapped, exhausted, and unfulfilled.
- The daily grind left me with little time for my family, friends, or personal passions.

I knew there had to be a better way to live—
- A way to achieve financial freedom, flexibility,
- And a more fulfilling lifestyle.

That's when I discovered the power of trading stock options.

I escaped that 9-to-5 grind with it.

Learn how I did it and built a 6-figure income stream from trading.

Reach out to me if:

- You want financial security and independence.
- You're looking to supplement your current income.
- You'd like to build location freedom, time freedom, or both.
- You crave lifestyle improvements and luxury experiences.
- You're interested in options but feeling a little bit skeptical.

I can feel you because I was you when I was in that 9-to-5 cycle.

I'll teach you my method that has:

- Daily ROIs of 30-300%
- Documented win rates of 78-80%

And I can even help you turn your spouse into a believer.

Ready to achieve financial freedom, build a reliable second income, and enjoy a flexible lifestyle?

Great! What are you waiting for?

Reserve your spot in my next course at www.BillFanter.com.

Still skeptical?

I get it. My husband used to be a skeptic, too.

Just send me a DM and we'll grab a few minutes to talk.

The best part of 2025 had nothing to do with money.

A few years ago, I wasn't sure if any of this would even work.

A retired banker with a skill and a passion for teaching?

I had hoped people would be willing to learn from me, but I had no idea if they actually would.

So I started posting a little bit about my results on LinkedIn, and people started noticing. At first, the Masterclasses were just a few people, but as students started getting results, the word started to spread. And before too long, this became something I am incredibly proud of.

Every time I get an email or a text from a student showing me their first profitable trade or telling me how they've been able to improve the lives of their kids or spouses, it gives me chills.

I always knew I loved teaching, but I didn't expect to love it all this much.

I spent 35 years in banking helping someone else build their dream.

Now I get to help people build their own.

To everyone who has worked with me over the last few years, thank you for trusting a stranger on the internet.

You've changed my life and I hope I have changed yours too.

Cheers and Happy New Year. ❤️

In January 2025, I faced significant criticism:

- "Trading is a scam"
- "Nobody beats the market"
- "This doesn’t belong on LinkedIn"
- "You should be ashamed of your content"

Fast forward 12 months, and the results speak for themselves:

- 281 individuals blocked
- Over 1,400 students taught
- More than 1,200 Discord members
- Over 17.5 million post views
- 20,000 new followers

This experience reinforces the importance of not letting others' opinions define you. 

Just made another $706 in an hour with 89 people watching. 

So I have the evidence to back my journey, while critics are left with nothing but sour grapes. 

Looking ahead to 2026, I am excited for what’s to come so join me! 

BillFanter.com

In 2025, I achieved a 163.82% return on my portfolio by strategically buying and selling the following 10 stocks:

- Lyft
- Uber
- Snap
- Lululemon
- Draft Kings
- Oscar Health
- Bloom Energy
- Sarepta Pharma
- Super Micro Computer
- DPST (2x leverage in banks)

These are all household names that met my “buy” price level. The key to my success was focusing on technical analysis and market structure. 

No chasing Nvidia 
No chasing Palantir 
No chasing Google 
No chasing Gold

Dear God, 

Please don’t let me fail in 2026.
I don’t think I could handle Plan C again!

Although, going back into Corporate America would be even worse. 🤣

First trading day of 2026 was a success. 

Not only did I make money, but the 122 people who joined me also walked away with a bag of cash.

I share all my screens, inform you about what I’m watching, and communicate when I’m buying and selling. 

There is no better skill you could learn in life that can generate this kind of income. 

We wrapped up in 90 minutes, leaving us free to enjoy the weekend. 

The next master class starts in about a week, so I hope you’ve enrolled. 

BillFanter.com

The most common complaint I receive about my Masterclass is the frustration over the price increases. 

Many people express disappointment that they didn't enroll when it was 50% cheaper.

I want to emphasize that I have dedicated two years, showing up daily here with proof that this skill is golden. 

I trade live every morning 
I share all my charts 
I tell you what I’m buying 
I communicate when I’m selling 
I do a recap of why I took the trade 

172 people showed up to trade live with me this morning and we all crushed it like a bunch of thugs in less than an hour. 🤣

The price for the April class isn’t going to be any cheaper so why not join in January while you can? 

BillFanter.com

"1 hour to make $400."

"Not sure this Discord can be beat."

All of this just from:

• Learning a skill the right way
• Being patient & practicing 
• Following professional analysts
• Executing the strategy

If you want to learn this for yourself, I can teach you.

"Trading is gambling" aged like milk in 2025.

Retail investors beat Wall Street. 

In April, Trump's tariffs sent the market into freefall. The S&P 500 dropped 5% in a single day.

Hedge funds freaked out and ran for the exits.

And retail investors?

They bought $3 billion in stocks that same day 🤣 

A week later, Trump changed his mind (love the TACO trade), and the S&P jumped 9.5%. 

The people who bought the dip made a killing.
The people who panic-sold locked in their losses.

From Mark Malek, investing chief at Siebert Financial:

"Retail investors have been more right about the market and how to react to a lot of the emotionally driven trades of the year... They’ve been much more accurate in their dealings than my colleagues in the institutional space.”

And that's why regular people like you with Schwab accounts are beating the big banks' fancy AI trading systems.

Wall Street calls you "dumb money."
Financial advisors say it's a scam. 

And the numbers say retail traders won in 2025.

Don't miss out again in 2026.

Funny how drawing lines on a chart can make you $865 an hour. 

Thank goodness I payed attention to art class in elementary school. 

In all seriousness, the market moves accordingly to liquidity zones and I can prove it 100x over. 

This is how we obtain 80% winning trades on a daily basis.

It’s not rocket science, but it is how the market works technically with buyers and sellers. 

Here’s a “Double Top” and once it’s reached, the market heads lower looking for more buyers to keep up the momentum.

No buyers? Then it continues to fall. 

Don’t believe me? Come watch us do it live every single day.

Today was uneventful. 

I traded live with 134 people, and we executed 3 total trades: 2 winners and 1 break even. 

After the call, I took one more small loss on Apple as the market was stuck in a channel. 

With options, we need volatility and price movement. 

Trading in a channel erodes premiums, and I would even accept price manipulation. 

The good news is that $348 a day adds up to $83,520 a year in extra cash.

Student Testimonials

Yesterday marked a special occasion as we celebrated Fraymond’s birthday. 

Nothing beats a great Vegas steakhouse:
- Wedge salads
- New York Strip Steaks
- Lobster Tails
- Mushrooms
- Baked Potatoes
- Cabernet wine for him
- Kettle One vodka with soda for me

The total bill was $546.02, including the tip, and it was a bargain for the experience. 

Understanding how to monetize a skill makes spending feel irrelevant. 

Especially when I could get up this morning and make over $3,500 in under an hour.

This morning, we traded a live with hundreds of participants who successfully executed winning trades that increased by over 50%. 

Skepticism is natural, but consider this: why would 1,200 people remain in my trading community if they weren't seeing financial success? 

It just wouldn’t make any sense… Now would it?

The next master class starts on Monday so I hope you’re enrolled.

I really don’t understand how you can possibly lose at trading.

We teach you everything you need to know 

We trade live daily for you to watch and learn 

We tell you what and when we are buying 

We share when we are selling and taking profits 

We do a trade recap explaining everything in detail

The only thing we can’t do is to control your greed and fear which is why so many traders fail. 

$711 a day for an hour of work isn’t too shabby.  

Now I have the rest of the day to do whatever I want… ready to learn?

If you’re in your 30s, stop worrying about the S&P.

Start worrying about making more money.

So many people between 30-40 stress about market returns when they really should be focused on increasing their income. 

A 10% return on $10,000 gets you $1,000.
A 2% return on $100,000 gets you $2,000.

Basic math tells you where to focus your energy.

Instead of spending hours trying to squeeze an extra 2% from your portfolio...

You could be:

Learning a high-income skill
Building a side gig that generates real cash
Creating connections that lead to better opportunities

When you're early in your career, doubling your income is 100x more impactful than trying to beat the market by a few percent.

Take it from a guy with a few gray hairs who learned the hard way.

Nancy Pelosi always outperforms the stock market - and nobody thinks that’s odd? 

Her portfolio performance has been... let's call it "impressive." 

While the average investor struggles to beat the S&P 500, some politicians seem to have a crystal ball.

Here's what's really happening:
• They set policy for entire industries
• They know what's coming before anyone else
• They can position long or short ahead of announcements
• There are currently ZERO restrictions

The craziest part? 

There's literally software that tracks every single trade from elected officials. Every weekend, you can see exactly what Pelosi, Marjorie Taylor Greene, or any politician bought or sold.

It's not even hidden anymore.

Right now, Congress is debating whether politicians should be allowed to trade at all. 

But until then? It's the wild west.

The uncomfortable truth: This isn't investing. It's legalized insider trading with a government badge.

Meanwhile, regular investors get prosecuted for far less while politicians profit off information that moves entire markets.

Hot take: If you can't beat them, maybe it's time to follow their trades. What's your stance - should politicians be banned from trading stocks?

Retail traders just proved the "smart money" wrong - again.

While institutional fund managers were caught off guard by the tariff announcements in 2025 and failed to buy the dip, guess who stepped up? 

Retail traders.

They're the ones who pushed the market back to new all-time highs while professional fund managers were playing catch-up in Q4.

Here's what this tells us:
• Retail sentiment can move markets more than we think
• Individual investors are becoming more sophisticated
• The "dumb money" narrative is outdated
• Sometimes the crowd gets it right when institutions hesitate

We're about to see fund performance reports for 2025, and I suspect many institutional players underperformed while retail traders who bought the dip came out ahead.

This shift represents a fundamental change in market dynamics. 

Retail traders now have access to the same tools, data, and speed as institutions - and they're not afraid to use them.

The democratization of trading is real, and it's reshaping how markets move.

Come let me show you how this all works.  BillFanter.com

My final trade of 2025 went up over 800% but unfortunately, I sold way too early. 

I had a 90 minute massage scheduled so I had to close it out early for a measly gain of 119.57%. 🤣

Never leave a trade unattended or you can get assigned the shares if it closes in the money.

The meme stock phenomenon was back in 2025 - and it's wilder than ever.

We're witnessing something unprecedented: a crypto-friendly administration launching their own memecoins, followed by family members jumping in. 

It's like 2021 all over again, but with a political twist.

Here's what I'm seeing:
• Bitcoin and memecoins are getting institutional backing
• Retail investors are FOMOing into "shitcoins" expecting moon shots
• The same pattern repeats: early birds win, latecomers get burned
• These assets consistently implode after the initial hype

The reality? If you get in at the very beginning, the returns can be incredible. But timing is everything, and most people enter when it's already too late.

The lesson isn't to avoid these opportunities entirely - it's to understand the cycle and manage your risk accordingly.

What's your take on the meme stock revival?
