Introduction

Investing in the stock market can be quite exciting. It can also be a daunting task as well. Nevertheless, you can be able to use it as an opportunity to grow your wealth for the long term.

What you’re reading right now is a blueprint that will help you become a successful stock trader using the three M’s: money, method, and mindset. We will explain each of these in detail later on (and throughout much of the book). Also, you get to learn this from someone who has years of experience.

Everything you’ll learn in this book will be straightforward, simple, and to the point. I don’t believe in beating around the bush when it comes to sharing what I know about the stock market. I am willing to bet that with the purchase of this book, you’re serious about investing in it for the purpose of bettering your financial future.

I want to get one thing clear before going any further. Investing is a long-term effort. It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme that’s going to make you a million dollars overnight.

Not to mention, there is always risk involved. I hate nothing more than someone dismissing investing in the stock market as a form of ‘gambling’. Well, in a sense they’re right based on the specific actions they take.

Those actions are recklessly putting their money in random stocks. They do so in hopes that they ‘get lucky’ and strike it rich. This is one of the worst mindsets to adopt when it comes to investing in the stock market.

What they don’t understand is investing in the stock market takes time, effort, and a whole lot of due diligence. By the way, I will be emphasizing due diligence throughout the book. Because it is one of the most necessary tools to have in order to achieve success in the stock market.

You also need to be aware that gains won’t happen all the time. You will experience losses. There will be days when the losses will be too strong.

You’ll feel like giving up. You’ll feel like the ‘stock market gods’ aren’t in your favor. Well, the stock market is not in your control – and that’s something that you, prospective investor, are going to need to accept. If you haven’t closed this book in disappointment, keep reading.
