INADEQUATE EARLY MODELS
We are rarely conscious of the models we set firmly in our unconscious of the lives we should be living, since we tend to do this when we are very young. Traders who grow up in unstable circumstances may have modeled on parents or peers who continue to make poor choices in life.
One of the ways to discover who your models may actually be is to ask yourself whose life yours most closely resembles. The answer may come as a great surprise, either a pleasant or shocking one! If you see your life unfolding like that of a person in your life who is living a happy and successful life, then you are on the right track. But, if you can see that you are making the same choices as someone whose life is not a happy and successful one, then you need to be working on finding and developing a different model for your life.
