In this episode of the Trading Lifestyle Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Joan Sotkin, a prosperity and mindset mentor. As you get deeper into trading and get past making all of the beginner mistakes, you start to learn that trading is much more about your mindset than your trading system.
That's how you can usually tell a new trader from an experienced trader.
But tuning up your mindset is not an easy task.
Believe me, I know first hand.
So the more people you can get to help you with your wealth psychology, reconciling your childhood hangups and releasing negative emotions, the higher your probability of succeeding in trading.
Joan is one of those people who can help you do these things. In fact, she shares a couple of exercises in this interview that you can do right now to help you understand some of your core beliefs related to money.
Remember, the person who helps you with these things does not have to be a trader. The principles of a wealthy mindset and releasing negative emotions are universal to success in any business.
I hope you enjoy listening to this interview and learn as much as I did.

Totally agree… Trading is the game of psychology, not about intelligence… The most important elements are discipline and persistence. That’s it.
