This was good! I love the advice in the end. My husband supports my trading journey even though I'm still forward testing. When I showed my mom, she asked if it is gambling. However, she doesn't mention it, she just wants to see that I am financially comfortable. My other family members think I'm behind in life 😂

This one is really incredible and I can also relate to, am going to lean toward VP side in the believing part because it does not matter, what matter is if the parent are successful they are going to understand the process if not you are just going to look like a fooling around kid to them . And the rob part about worst case part that's me I never care about how am going to be humiliated because I have already play it on my Brain how it going to happen if things go wrong. Thanks a lot for this both of you

"You can't do that" are the most motivating words going😉😉Have a great day!

very interesting podcast and very important as well

Robb’s commentary on soberly accepting and planning for the possibility and consequences of failure - ok, if I fail then I accept that and will move on by… - echoes Seneca. The latter woke up every morning CHOOSING to forget his amassed wealth and to navigate the day as if he didn’t have it. Well done, Robb. 👍🏻

Danger is my middle name! Seriously??!! Thanks for sharing that, Rob. Had a good chuckle... 😁 All in all such a lifting episode. Loved it!

I think parents more so try to protect you because they can’t really do it for themselves so they project their perspective on you out of love and their version of protection. I don’t think they necessarily don’t believe in you, more so scared for you.

[@elwoodpalmer7622]

When we're young we have the tendency to be extremely impatient and we spend a lot of our time to find a quick path to achieve what we have in min in term of goals and most of the time we get lost in the process, it did happen to me , on the other hand as it was said at the beginning of this podcast it depends on each personality, I was not really a cautious young guy even if I was coming from a 'very cautious' family , I do believe the quick development of internet open access to a lot of information( if use wisely ...) we did not have 25 years ago

Go VP 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you guys for this episode. A big portion of my decision to end a 15 year relationship was the lack of support of my wife. It was such a big load that I had to carry whenever I failed.. I was no longer to maintain both of them. It was either her or my dreams.

[@NoNonsenseForex]

I totally get it

[@Tyraine7]

Awesome! Real Talk!

[@Kugann]

need to watch this

[@LeonHyLifeHyman]

Key takeaway here from VP.... @ 32:35 ...."This lifestyle that I've worked so hard to create, it's actually REAL."

One thing that makes me stick to D1 timeframe is the fact its easy to keep my day job this way. I just can't have a catastrophic failure, I can just "not win".

[@BrazyDaBossTV]

Great Discussion

Wisdom equals time in life. Take heed to the elder's knowledge. Hopefully, they have some

[@KyleBaran90]

For me, happiness is having a stable enough life where you can pursue the things you enjoy. For me, that bar is very low, even though I'm not wealthy per se. My parents encourage me, even if they don't really understand it. I'm not sure what my goals and aspirations are, though. I graduated from compsci 10 years ago, and haven't really done much with it. I always try to learn new things every day. I find I am unfocused and have many hobbies on the go, and tend to spend 2-4 weeks on a project and then move on to the next one.

[@CryptoC4T]

Check for ADHD, you sound quite a lot like me ;)

[@NoNonsenseForex]

Agree, and I can say once I broke from that and focused on completion as opposed to what was comfortable, life got better by multiples.

[@spacecatF40]

Yeah this is one of my fears. Right now I am not near trading live but if the day comes when I quick my job and trade professionally I want to tell my parents but I am thinking they will not approve my choice. But when the day comes I will know for sure how they will react. 😅

[@blackoy6722]
