After sitting @ options desks for large banks, disparity between trading & running a business can be stark
Trading → oft rewarded for sitting on your hands
Business → die if not moving forward
Can you relate?@MacroAlf @TgMacro @donnelly_brent @42MacroWeather

𝞂 My experience in the last few years w/running a business has forced me to grow
Including
– Network like crazy
– Creativity like Picasso’s son
– Self-Motivation to keep plugging away
Let’s break them down…
↓
↓
➠ NETWORK LIKE CRAZY
𝞂 This is something Inever really practiced at the bank
As a trader, I didn’t NEED to network
I relied on salespeople to do that for me
Traders don’t network – Traders Trade
↓
↓
𝞂 Now, if you run a business but don’t network, you’re not going anywhere
My whole business has & continues to be built on collabs
That’s how you gain exposure until more opportunities present themselves
ie, @RealVision @CoinDesk @spotgamma & the list goes on…
↓

𝞂 So networking has been a big thing I had to learn
When I was in the banks, I had no Linkedin, no Twitter, no nothing
Most of my friends still at the banks have no social media presence to this day
Whereas I’ve had to develop my social media presence… & learn to do it in a way that now I enjoy
It can obviously be a slog though – so how’d I learn to love it?

𝞂 Discovering my passion for educating others about #options is what drove me to create Options Insight in the first place
But getting positive feedback & re-inforcement from folks like you is what keeps me going
You make me want to share more, not less!
SO THANK YOU!

𝞂 I used to think, what’s the point in tweeting?
Who the hell cares about what I have to say?
But now, when I tweet something, you all respond
Showing you do care & are lisetning
Nothing encourages me more

➠ PICASSO CREATIVITY
𝞂 I’m far from anything close to a genius like Picasso
But I know I’ve got skills that can be passed on & lead to transformative stories
I’ve produced all types of insights, scattered all over the place
But how do I get max reach?
That’s where creativity comes in…

𝞂 Creativity is the spark igniting a fire of imagination
A blank canvas waiting to be filled with vibrant colors and bold strokes
As an educator & content producer, creativity is a must
It’s the catalyst that can transform dull & mundane learning into vibrant & engaging
Allowing me to approach my teaching methods in new fun & innovative ways
Igniting my students’ curiosity & fostering a deeper understanding of complex concepts
↓
↓
➠ SELF-MOTIVATION
𝞂 There is no way around it
You must possess a drive from within
Drive comes from passion
Dare I say, obsessed
↓
↓
𝞂 Passion for what you’re building + realizing how much you can help others by spreading your experience
That’s the formula for staying power
If you truly care about what you do, when the tough times inevitably come knocking, continuing on is never a question
