Now it's getting personal

Hey,

A lot of traders got back to me this week with their experiences and opinions on trading education.

I was actually surprised by the amount of replies, but I wasn’t surprised at the level of their results.

The thing which is sorely missing from every version of education out there is a personalised solution that enables each aspiring trader to be a niche player.

The feedback I got from people indicated they were tired of trying out of the box concepts.

Finally.

Makes sense. Every trader is different.

Look, I’m not going to pretend that I have a better answer that suits everyone.

I don’t think that will ever exist from a single provider.

What I do know is that education in general is moving from a professional large scale service model to a personalised one.

People are looking to connect in smaller groups to do intense and meaningful work. Faster.

The future of work and education are trending the same way, with AI and automation tools covering many of the generalities that used to be provided by attending large academic campuses and companies.

Without the friction of commuting, pointless meetings and the churn of inefficient communication, people are freeing themselves up to focus on what they really want from their time and effort.

They want to be multi skilled in specific areas and interests, in order to stay connected and relevant.

It might seem like a novelty now, but it’s becoming a survival skill when technology is moving faster than many people can fathom.

Everything that’s generic and outdated is about be swept aside by some kid in Bali with ADHD and a hot new SAAS.

So what does any of this have to do with trading?

It’s time to define a niche, my friend.

Every unique system starts with a definition of specific goals, tools and operating environments.

You have to know where you want to go with this (not just the money) and start seeking out specific answers that help you improve and turn that niche approach into a reality.

The opposite of that is more following the herd, getting lost in the latest labels and hoping it will work this time.

From what everyone told me this week, it doesn’t suit them.

P.

P.S. Whenever you’re ready, here’s how I can help you:

I’m not running courses right now, but I am offering personalised 1-to-1 consultation calls.

I started out doing these in 2022, helping traders to improve all aspect of their approach to independent trading.

If you’re looking for generic technical knowledge, this call won’t be of much use to you. I’ve probably covered that stuff elsehwhere.

But if you’re looking to take the next step in your development with the specific answers you need, a consultation call is a great way to get it done.
