TRADING : Thriving or Just Surviving? Some traders across the planet…no, actually, millions of traders across the planet are not fairing very well. They are imploding in trade after trade, because they are unable to do what it takes to be consistently successful traders. They are failing to follow-through in some of the most fundamental ways, by lacking the discipline to stop violating trading rules and keep their promises. Regrettably, most of these traders will not last. On the other hand, there are a group of traders who are hanging on by the thinnest of margins and clutching their lifesupport vests as they barely navigate the mine fields of minutia that are their trading plans, and through sheer will power they are breaking even. Unfortunately, consistent profit is eluding them. In other words, they are just getting by; they are surviving. This, of course, is not necessarily a bad thing. As pointed out above, the number of traders that are blowing up accounts on a regular basis is quite a bit higher; but when you are simply surviving there is little consolation in the fact that you are losing at a slightly lower rate than those who are washing out. Then there is the trader who, though trading for only a short time is getting extraordinary results. They have gone well beyond just surviving to trade another day and, in fact, are trading in an exemplary fashion by maintaining a fierce focus on what-matters-most, preparing their mindset to remain in the Now of the trade, executing the process solely and not emotionally investing in the outcome. They also have a stranglehold on the fact that markets are random and cannot be predicted. What exactly is “surviving”? The Oxford Dictionary defines surviving as, “The ability to continue to exist, especially in spite of danger or hardship.” Actually, surviving can be a fine quality; that is, to be diligent despite the issues and challenges that abound in the trade; to never give up and maintain a scrappy attitude in the face of drawdowns. Being in a survival mode can provide you the time interval that you need to engage your trading plan and eventually take you from just surviving, to posting the trading results that you want on a consistent basis. So, let me be clear there is no shame in surviving. However, what does this mean for you? Is that all that you’re doing? Are you simply hanging on while doing the same things over and over while expecting a different result? In such an instance, you are not truly helping yourself. Since trading is so personal and reliant upon individual skill sets and mind states, by all accounts you

are the only thing standing between you and consistent trading success. So, let’s take a closer look at what it means to “thrive” in the trade. The definition of thrive according to the Oxford Dictionary is to “grow or develop well or vigorously.” In other words, to thrive means you are taking advantage of every challenge and comfort zone compromise to go a little further, to learn a little more, to raise your performance standards a little higher. Thriving means that you are continuously monitoring your mindset in order to flush out discordant thoughts and feelings so you are aligned in body, mind and emotions going in the same direction and for the same goals. It also means that you are, each day and in every way, searching for new ways to maximize your trading EQ (emotional intelligence –managing fear, greed and other debilitating negative emotions) and IQ (mental intelligence – managing errant negative thinking that eventually leads to bad behaviors) so that you remain on purpose, on task and on top of each step of your trading plan and execution. To thrive means that you are documenting all of the issues that emerge in your trading process and that you are deconstructing that documentation to identify patterns of thinking, feeling and doing that are presenting the roadblocks to consistent outcomes. This is one small part of what we teach through our Mastering the Mental Game program at Online Trading Academy. If you are interested in taking your trading and investing to the next level, contact your local Online Trading Academy campus for more information. Also, you may choose to get my book, From Pain to Profit: Secrets of the Peak Performance Trader. Joyous Trading!

P R O V I N C I A L C R Y S TA L Take a walk through this delightfully provincial estate, accented with crystal chandeliers, ornate mirrors and beautifully curated furniture. The end of summer is the perfect time to begin reimagining your home’s décor. Fall and all of its holidays are approaching; wow family and friends this year with a fun home revamp.
Faux gas lanterns are a gorgeous outdoor statement piece. They add warmth and light, and are a beautiful preview to what awaits inside. The second story balcony lets in light and adds a little extra outdoor space.
A chic sitting area near the entrance is a lovely use of an extra nook. Perfect for breakfast or getting everything together before you head out. We love the ornate table paired with oversize club chairs. Large artwork grounds the space and helps it to feel more cozy.

Rich panels accent walls and bring instant character to this study. Warm leather, antiqued art and carved furniture all pull the look together. Little details make all the difference in this room – don’t miss the bronze dogs flanking the fireplace and the crystal decanters on the bookshelves.
Large furniture helps this family room balance a sophisticated and comfortable atmosphere. Open to the kitchen, this room is inviting and open. Consider ditching your coffee table for a more relaxed look.
Carry your theme throughout your home for added impact. We adore this detailed console table styled with an ornate clock, lamps and antique painting.
A luxurious buffet and ornate mirror anchor the opposite wall. French-inspired arm chairs offer extra seating and help fill the room.

Exposed brick in the kitchen is accented with copper pots. The color pops even more with the addition of a rich, red rug.
A breakfast nook with built-in seating allows for a larger, rectangular table. A bonus computer nook hidden in the breakfast area can double as storage. Finding extra room throughout your house is a quick and easy way to maximize space.

Shining doors hide the computer nook, which blends effortlessly into the room. It’s a perfect spot for cook books, extra linens and any other odds and ends you need at your fingertips.

A clawfoot tub and marble scream luxury in this bathroom. Shimmering crystal accents and ornate light fixtures add to its elegance.
The master bedroom features elegant styling that is defined by a clean, curated mix of artwork and accessories. Bedside furniture that has drawers is key to keeping clutter out of sight.
A gallery wall featuring architectural illustrations masterfully fills an often forgotten staircase wall space.

“BRAND OR BE BRANDED” by Monette Smith
CEO, Founder and Speaker PR Marketing, L.L.C. | PR Luxury Media
When I was a little kid growing up, I often would find myself staring at ads in our local newspaper, watching commercials, and seeing the big store signs go up every time a new business would come into town. I was fascinated with business almost instantly. I knew at a young age that I wanted to have a business of my own; be the next entrepreneuHER. When I got my first job at one of our local restaurants as a hostess at the age of 15, I got a glimpse of what it was like to work in a fast paced environment. However, during my time working there, a very wise manager told me that in order to run a successful business you must know every part of the business - from the cooks, to the servers, to the bartenders, hostesses, food quality, ordering food, customer relations, menu, pricing, and everything else that goes into operating a restaurant. That was just the first part of it. She went on to coach me and tell me that it is crucial to understand our brand and how the customers respond to it. BAM! How they respond to it? That stuck with me for years; how to be aware of the company brand. Right then and there, my passion for branding businesses started. Now, I have more than 20 years of experience in branding for big companies, across industries, markets, geographies, and small businesses. Back in 2002, I stepped out on my own and started a marketing/advertising firm called PR Marketing, LLC. Now I get to help all kinds of companies and organizations understand, establish, maintain, promote, and sometimes resurrect their brands. Since I have started our Company, we have developed and standardized a functional methodology that works for companies of all sizes and in all industries that serve consumers or business customers. Just like my manager, I believe that when you have a gift for something, you have to share it. You never know who is listening, who you can empower, who you can change, or even yet, who can change you. I am the happiest helping entrepreneurs, entrepreneurially minded executives, and the leaders of the great organizations to uncover the “ahamoments;” to create strategies and literally watch them light up like a Christmas tree. Seriously, what I do is the most rewarding job on the planet. Learn what you need to understand to know what your brand is worth.
6
Indications You’ve Got a BRAND Problema
1. Your Company’s salespeople each use a different “pitch” to potential customers. 2. Your employees can’t explain in casual conversation why your company exists or what it does. 3. Your revenues are tanking. 4. “Me too” brands have entered the market & are stealing market share. 5. Your desired brand identity (what you think it should be) and image (what your customers think you actually are) don’t match. 6. You feel a constant negative “vibe” throughout your entire brand system.
These are just a few. There is so much more to branding. It goes far deeper than package design, color schemes, websites, etc. You have to reach further. So, how do we do that?
STRATEGIZE Can’t put something in action if you don’t have a plan. FOCUS GROUP You won’t know if you don’t ask. DEVELOP A SURVEY REACHING YOUR CUSTOMERS Branding starts with understanding your customers.
UNDERSTAND BRAND LOYALTY Branding is all emotional. MESSAGING Storytelling - The BUZZ. VISUALIZATION Telling your customers it is different is not enough. REACH OUT TO PROFESSIONALS It’s ok to ask for HELP. It might save you more in the long run. We all love stories; we don’t always remember features or specs or numbers very well, but we can always recall a good story. For example, you probably don’t remember the number of your first college dorm room or your first apartment. However, unless you are a math genius, like the kids in the movie 21, you more than likely don’t even remember the address or phone number to the place. But, I can guarantee that you could tell at least a dozen very detailed stories about what happened there. The affinity that people have for stories is what makes branding possible. The strongest brands tell great stories about both the brand and about the customers who use it. Now, it’s your turn to make sure people remember you. So, let us be your STORYTELLER and we will have you loving the power of Branding!

IT’S reset TIME T O H I T button THE Kalypso Wellness Centers specializes in a new groundbreaking treatment that is dedicated to helping relieve the pain of those that suffer from depression, chronic pain, migraines, PTSD, anxiety, diabetic neuropathy, inflammatory pain, fibromyalgia, and bipolar disorder, Managing Partner, David Mosberg, explains how their proprietary infusions work. “Ketamine affects the way that receptors signal your brain,” Mosberg said. “Pain medications are designed to block pain, while ketamine is designed to re-set receptors to signal a feeling of wellness. When it comes to treating diagnoses like depression, for example, serotonin is often what is missing in the brain. Unlike chemicals such as estrogen and testosterone, serotonin has not yet been able to be reproduced in a lab, which is where ketamine infusions come in.” Founded by two Board Certified Anesthesiologists and two Board Certified Pain Management Doctors in 2016, Kalypso Wellness Centers has developed four proprietary ketamine formulations to treat an array of diagnoses. As an FDAapproved anesthetic for more than 50 years, ketamine works to “re-set” neural pathways and trigger a rapid growth of neural connections while also working as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent that can help treat symptoms of certain chronic pain ailments. Each infusion is administered in Kalypso’s state-of-the-art clinic under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Individualized treatment plans are discussed with our team of physicians and recommendations are based on each patient’s diagnosis. Many patients suffering from migraines report immediate relief, while those living with fibromyalgia tend to see a difference after four to five infusions. Most patients report better sleep, more energy, and an overall increased feeling of happiness. “I believe that a desire to be well contributes to the healing process,” Mosberg said. “Many people suffering from the ailments that we treat have given up hope of ever feeling good again. When they come in and can see and feel an almost immediate difference it gives them a renewed sense of hope, which is the most rewarding part of what we do.” Ketamine infusions are a completely different approach than any other treatment you may have tried in the past. If you’ve been struggling with depression, chronic pain, migraines, PTSD, anxiety, diabetic neuropathy, inflammatory pain, fibromyalgia, or bipolar disorder, ketamine infusions could change your life and provide you with a new sense of hope and outlook on life. Start the healing process now!
