When your vision occupies your mind 24/7; you can't stop thinking about it, day, night, in the shower, the tube or travelling.
Congratulate yourself, you're reaching obsession - the dominating thought in your mind will eventually become a reality.
Reality check.
This year will go just as quickly as last year, and the years before.
Moral?
Time has no master, but focus does.
Manage your focus not time.
Best feeling:
You don't feel like doing what needs to be done, tired, not motivated, lazy
But you get it done regardless. Ignore the emotional attempt to push you off track
Realise this is the separation between those who win in the long run vs those who lose
Learn life.
Every day I wake up and there's only one thing on my mind.
How can I get marginally better today?
And it all boils down to one thing.
Consistent execution.
I stopped worrying about how to get to the end goal.
Instead, I started focusing on what actions would put me on the path to that goal.
Stress the small details, not the big picture.
I've been working relentlessly, putting time and effort into the guide I created for traders learning macro.
It'll be out before Christmas, all free, stay tuned for the drop!
Been quietly building my new macro guide for traders.
This one has surprised even me with the level of simplification of difficult information.
Four foundations covered + a BONUS pillar.
Your macro knowledge won't be the same after this, guaranteed...
Say no:
No to the people that are a waste of your time.
No to the bad decisions holding you back.
No to anything and everything that is taking you away from your mission.
Saying no is the truest form of self-respect.
1000+ people got access to my free macro guide in 24hrs!
Firstly, I hope you're able to learn something and take value from this. A lot more value coming, trust me on that.
If you haven't received the guide by the end of today I'll share the link publicly. DM's are flooded
Trading without an understanding of fundamentals is very possible, but just like driving, you're better protected if you're aware of all your surroundings
The Fed hiking and maintaining their hawkish stance means trouble for G-7 central banks...

There's always a level higher.
I can never get complacent with my current level, no matter how great things may be.
I'm driven, can't help it. Few will understand
If you were wondering:
Why has the dollar been outperforming FX in the past 7 days?
It's simple.
The closer we draw to the June 1st U.S. debt ceiling deadline, the increased fear and worry in markets.
Fear = Safety flow = $DXY demand 👆🏾
I'm saying it once more:
2008 all over again. Central banks injecting liquidity, turning a blind eye to inflation and areas at risk within the economy.
Lehman Brothers may have been the face of the crisis, but they weren't the cause, just a pawn in the game.
The Yen slipped 2% overnight, here's what you need to know:
Since 2016 the BOJ has implemented YCC in order to maintain lose monetary policy conditions and boost economic activity/growth.

Observe how you spend the weekend vs those with the results you desire.

They're not 'special' they're resourceful with time, all the TIME

Choose your battles carefully. Only one scenario can remain.
Win & overcome
Remain unchaged
It's 8pm on a Friday night.
I've just finished a macro report for all free subscribers.
The work rarely feels like work.
Passion for the game keeps me going.
The FOMC press conference is where the action is.
We'll get a closer look at what the Fed is watching as we've seen headline CPI drop to 3.0%
Of course we know the Fed's favourite measure for inflation is PCE & Core readings.
Writing a free report for tomorrow.
German economy now in a recession after two negative quarters.
Weak Chinese economic data is pulling investor sentiment lower.
Debt ceiling talks still dragging on with no resolution.
An interesting time in global macro.
Success is a puzzle, the joy one feels after getting just 1% closer is what makes this journey worth it.
Can't beat that internal spark; the joy of progress.
Woke up to a message from someone following my articles all the way in Japan!

Before Xmas you’ll all have my macro guide for traders; token of my appreciation.
Central banks around the world are obsessed with negative IR.
So I spent 1 hour, bursting a few bubbles and explaining why central banks use negative interest rates (and the effect).
No math, no graphs, no grammar. Just pure distilled...
