tradingpsychologypodcast
About this episode

Having lots of ambition is great and all, BUT WHERE YOU PUT IT means everything.  Sometimes we have so much ambition, we have no idea what to do with it, and it goes everywhere but where it's supposed to.  VP and Robb have both been there, and do their best in Episode 91 to get your focus in the right place from the very start.
