I can't believe it's Friday already. This has been the craziest week crammed into the craziest month in recent memory. When life gives you an opportunity and there you are, standing in the moment where you have to make a decision of going for it or calling your own bluff, you can imagine that moment over and over, but the reality is we really never know what we will do until that moment arrives and it's do or die. For the second time in my life, I went toe to toe with such a standout moment and I had to make a decision. It went for it and became a Challenge Student. I know the type of work it takes to make it because I put that work in as an ARMY boxer. I trained for two years twice a day, 5 days a week before I ever even stepped into the ring. They made sure I was prepared so I didn't get crushed. My sparring partner was the #2 Heavyweight in the U.S. and Kennedy Mckinney showed up with his Olympic Gold Medal and his newly obtained Championship Belt and I touched both. So, what happened after two years of training and it was time to step into the ring? The man I was to face in Marble Falls, Texas mysteriously suffered an ankle injury 5 minutes after we stood on the scale next to each other. My coach told me he was walking just fine.....He didn't want it and I won by default. A few weeks later I broke my nose in two places and it was a compound fracture. I had surgery and my nose became too weak to fight without it breaking. Boxing was not my destiny and that ended my career. A tear in my Quad took me out of football a few years before that. I was 24 years old.....this happened 20 years ago.

I've been trading on my own for 10 or 11 months. I don't count 2017 because all I did was hold and lose. In 2018 I've been watching Tim Sykes and Tim Bohen on YouTube and listened to SteadyTrade Podcast with mixed results. This is because my cheap ass didn't want to invest into my education the right way. I broke every rule and now I follow every rule. As I sit here today I so badly want to trade, but I vowed to Listen to Tim Sykes and do what he says to the T. I'm slowly getting everything setup.... right now my focus is on getting my education. As a matter of fact, I need to get back to studying.
