I Have A Confession

In partnership with

Arigato, dear investor,

Ever since I started crypto trading last weekend, I’ve been hooked on the thrill of seeing daily profits. Every morning, I wake up and immediately check my inbox to see if my trades hit their auto take-profit (TP) targets. When they do, it feels amazing—like a little win to start the day. But when they don’t, it’s hard not to feel disappointed.

Sound familiar?

I recently asked Sabrina, a seasoned trader and mentor, how I could speed up my profits. Her answer surprised me. It wasn’t about chasing more trades or analyzing charts 24/7. Instead, she said something counterintuitive: Patience is the key.

Here’s the thing—Sabrina’s consistent profits don’t come from constantly monitoring the markets or making impulsive decisions. She follows her Lazy Profit Strategy Rules and waits for the price to come to her, rather than chasing after it. Once she sets her entries and TP levels based on her chart analysis, she logs out and doesn’t obsess over every market movement. Unless there’s major news shaking things up, she stays calm and lets the trades play out.

This got me thinking. I realized that patience has been the cornerstone of my long-term investing success too. A few years ago, I shifted the majority of my portfolio to ETFs, and despite the market crash three years ago and the 1.5-year-long bear market that followed, my portfolio emerged stronger than ever. If you’ve joined my Options To Freedom ETF Mastery, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

The lesson? Patience isn’t just a virtue—it’s a strategy. Whether it’s trading or investing, staying disciplined and avoiding emotional decisions is what builds wealth over time.

Right now, I’m working on applying that same patience to my crypto trading. While 95% of my wealth is in long-term investments (because, let’s be honest, I’m just psychologically better at it), I’m using 5% to explore short-term trading and speculative assets like crypto. It’s a learning journey, and I’m excited to see where it takes me.

If you’re curious about crypto trading, I highly recommend joining Sabrina’s upcoming masterclass to learn her Lazy Profit Strategy. It’s a game-changer for anyone looking to trade smarter, not harder.

And if you’re more focused on building a safe, long-term portfolio, don’t forget to join my Free 2-hour Options To Freedom Masterclass. It’s the perfect starting point for creating a peaceful, stress-free investment strategy.

Whether you’re a trader, an investor, or both (like me), remember this: Patience pays off. Sometimes, the best move is to step back, trust the process, and let the market work for you. 😃

Arigato to your financial freedom!
