1205 - Treat Your Trading Like a Busine...

AKIL STOKES
About this episode

In this episode, I dive into what it really means to treat your trading like a business. From starting small and building step by step, to gradually growing your portfolio with consistency and patience. I’ll share my own journey as a trader—how I developed technically, the lessons that shaped me, and how I’ve gotten to where I am today. Most importantly, we’ll talk about keeping perspective, focusing on the big picture, and avoiding the overwhelm that comes from trying to do too much, too soon.
