I used to think earning more was the answer.

Then I learned the real upgrade is learning how money actually moves.

That’s why I trade with structure, rules, and risk control.

No guessing, no gambling, just repeatable execution.

That’s the difference between income and real wealth.

How Self Control Becomes Your Competitive Advantage.

Trading success lives or dies at the moment a decision is made.

One wrong decision doesn’t ruin a single trade.

It starts a chain reaction.

- Capital takes a hit.
- Confidence weakens.
- Discipline bends.

Then recovery turns into revenge.

And one mistake becomes many.

This is how accounts don’t just lose money.

They lose structure.

Professionals understand this early.

They don’t aim for perfect trades.

They build systems that prevent bad decisions.

Because in trading, success isn’t about making more right decisions.

It’s about making fewer wrong ones.

One wrong decision in trading damages what the most?

I was 98% done with my master's degree.

One comprehensive exam away from graduating.

And I quit.

My family thought I'd lost my mind. My girlfriend at the time said, "You sound like a child."

But I couldn't shake one question:

Why would I analyze business when I could be doing business?

See, my master's in Applied Statistics at KU Med was supposed to be my bridge to entrepreneurship. A "self-directed MBA," I called it.

I'd already spent years:

→ Studying for an 8-hour MCAT that drained me mentally, physically, spiritually
→ Taking over 20 mentors from books, podcasts, and programs
→ Sacrificing basketball—the thing I loved most—for a career path I wasn't sure I wanted

That last semester, I was supposed to take a "business analytics" course.

And something in me broke.

I didn't want to analyze business. 

I wanted to build something.

So I walked away from 98% completion. Started my LLC that summer. And began the most uncertain chapter of my life.

My family? Tense conversations. Arguments. Real friction.

My relationship? It ended. She couldn't understand the person I was becoming.

But here's what I learned:

The people who make it aren't the ones who finish every credential.

They're the ones who bet on themselves when no one else will.

That summer I quit my master's, I had no clear direction.

Today, I run a firm helping physicians build wealth they never learned about in medical school.

The 2% I left behind? 

Best decision I ever made.

I used to Google "top paying jobs" constantly.

Know what always showed up?

Surgeon. Anesthesiologist. Orthodontist.

And then "Executive" somewhere in the top 25.

And I always thought: "Something's missing."

Because when I looked at the Forbes billionaire list, there were no doctors.

Bill Gates. Steve Jobs. Warren Buffett.

Where were the surgeons?

Then I'd see financial advisor listed as a "top job."

And I knew for a fact that financial advisors don't make that much.

Something wasn't adding up.

The public information was incongruent with reality.

Here's what I learned:

The truly wealthy don't show up on "top jobs" lists.

Hedge fund managers? Not listed.

Private equity partners? Not listed.

Futures traders? Definitely not listed.

Because this is private wealth.

It's not designed to be found by Googling.

The lists exist to keep you on a predictable path.

Doctor. Lawyer. Engineer.

Safe. Respectable. Capped.

The real opportunities?

You have to be shown.

Stop Googling "best careers."

Start asking: "What do the wealthy actually do?

The Hidden Trigger Behind Sudden Price Jumps is random spikes.

“Random spikes” aren’t random.

They’re the market’s stress test.

Not of your strategy.

Of your reaction.

One headline drops.

Liquidity thins out.

Algorithms hit the gas.

And price jumps like someone flipped a switch.

This is where most traders panic.

They move stops.

They size up.

They chase the candle.

Then they say the market is rigged.

Truth is simple.

Spikes don’t blow accounts.

Bad risk decisions do.

Vote below, then check the comments where I break down what actually triggers these spikes and how professionals stay protected when it happens.

What causes the most random volatility spikes in today’s market?

"You are who you hang around."

I heard this early in my journey and took it literally.

So I found 20 mentors.

Not in person. Not through expensive programs (at first).

Through intention.

I binged every episode of Shark Tank to "hang around" Mark Cuban.

I Googled every audiobook that started with the word "billion" to understand how billionaires think.

I studied John Maxwell on leadership.

Grant Cardone on sales and scale.

Alex Hormozi on business building.

Tai Lopez on finding mentors.

Eventually, I narrowed it down. And I started investing directly.

John Maxwell certification.

Grant Cardone events.

Elite CEOs with Tanner Chidester.

By the time I met my now business partner at that 10X event, I wasn't a blank slate.

I was a "walking compilation of programs."

That's why when the opportunity appeared, I was ready.

I had sales skills.

I had leadership frameworks.

I had business acumen.

I could bring something to the table.

Here's the lesson:

You don't need permission to find mentors.

Start with books. Podcasts. YouTube.

Study the 5 millionaires you want to become the 6th of.

Then, when the real opportunity shows up?

You'll be ready to seize it.
