This is one of my all time favorite episodes. I don\u2019t want to offer up spoilers, so all I\u2019ll say is that if you ever find yourself feeling sorry for yourself or letting the victim card mentality \u201csneak in\u201d, remember our guest, \u201cZee\u201d. Zee is a member of the chatroom and someone I had the pleasure to meet at our Florida meet-and-greet event. I still remember talking to him in person and being blown away by his story and genuinely motivated and inspired. Those are not empty words either\u2026 in fact, I found his story so inspiring that I invited him over to my other podcast, The Money with Clay Podcast for a more in-depth discussion of his life as a whole. Like I said, I\u2019m not giving any spoilers other than saying, if you need even the slightest bit of inspiration or motivation, Zee\u2019s story will provide it for you without doubt! Let\u2019s get to it! Notes: Today we interview community member Zee. In 2012 he came to the United States because things were not going well for him in his home country. Since he only knew a little English, he had to start with some humble jobs. After a little bit of time he truly got on his feet. Zee started a family and a business. Now that he had extra income every month he learned about trading from a coworker who was using Robinhood on his phone. Zee realized that there was no need to rush into trading and throw money at something he didn\u2019t understand yet. After looking at various trading teachers, he ultimately chose to go with the University program based on all the content included. Since his work is mostly seasonal, he had time in the off season to study the material. He is big into tracking his trade statistics. Journaling is crucial to see where he is currently falling short or excelling. Zee also has a morning routine that he credits for giving him the energy to tackle the markets. Discipline has been a common theme in Zee\u2019s life and this has definitely helped him trading too. Being competitive can cut both ways but he has been able to use that competitive nature in a positive way to push his growth in the market. Quotes: When I was 16 I realized that my life wasn\u2019t going the right direction. It\u2019s not that I did anything wrong. It was just the setup. I figured out later that he wasn\u2019t really into it. He was just gambling. I had a lot of energy. I didn\u2019t jump right into trading. I wanted to jump start trading by focusing on my education. It works for me personally. It gets me out of the comfort zone. I don\u2019t want to be someone who just sits around and does nothing. I think I\u2019m not great at my trade management. I try to increase my patience when it takes a while to get to my target.
