My coaching work applies evidence-based psychological techniques (see my background and my book on the topic) to the improvement of productivity, quality of life, teamwork, leadership, hiring best practices, and creativity/idea generation.  An important part of the "solution-focused" approach that I write about is that we can often best grow by focusing on what we do well and how we do it--and then doing more of what works for us.  The key is to know our cognitive, interpersonal, and personality strengths and leverage those in the pursuit of performance.

Being Outstanding By Standing Out

 

12/2/2025 - What goes into your trading that stands out?  That is truly insightful and unique?  What do you do in markets that is special?  Too often, traders look for easy answers by following "gurus" and end up doing nothing distinctive themselves.  Is this a formula for success in any area of life?  If you aren't doing something special in your trading, why would you achieve special results?  

Innovation, creativity, the ability to perceive unique opportunity:  those make for success in any entrepreneurial effort.  When we see and do unique and special things, our experience is exciting, meaningful, and purposeful.  Our efforts give us energy.  We can work on our psychology all we want, but if we're not innovating and inspiring ourselves by finding new and better opportunities, then all we'll accomplish is being more relaxed and level-headed in our mediocrity.

Those who achieve outstanding results do so by standing out, even in the smallest details of their work.  I recently met with a group of successful traders and listened to what they think about and how they think.  I went away with my head spinning, fresh with new ideas to research and pursue.  The best mentors stimulate us to ask questions we've never asked before.
