Trading Wisdom
Lessons From The Apprentice
Kelly Perdue, winner of the popular TV show, Apprentice 2, has just published a
book which outlines his personal success and motivation to push himself to be the very
best. Some of the principles which he puts forth in the book are very applicable to trading.
I am not recommending the book, but do suggest that you consider the following six principles
as great guidelines for your trading. If you are a full time trader running your own business,
or a new trader who is struggling with challenges, these fundamental truths are excellent.
Remember, the way that you approach all aspects of trading is the same way in which you approach
all aspects of your life. YOU ARE YOUR TRADE.
I have selected those which I believe are most relevant to trading. Each of these concepts
is worthy of a separate and detailed Trading Wisdom, but I present them to you, in brief, as
weekend food -for -thought. Always remember that success is a choice you make, a vision for
yourself, and the faith in yourself to keep moving into trading excellence.
Here are some of Kelly's principles:
Impeccability: If it is worth doing, it is worth doing right.
Passion: Be passionate about what you do, and do what you're passionate about.
Perseverance: It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
Planning: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Flexibility: In all aspects of life, the person with the most varied responses wins.
Integrity: Take the harder right over the easier wrong.
Have a great weekend, and keep challenging yourself and pushing yourself to higher and higher
levels of trading competence!
