Sample Content Preview Chapter 2 – How to Identify Emotional Triggers and Strategies for Dealing Them Emotional triggers are the thoughts, feelings, and events that can evoke an automatic response. The use of the word trigger is crucial because the reaction occurs automatically without self- control. While these reactions might seem involuntary, in reality, like everything else we do, the response is a matter of choice. If you want to take control of how you respond to different circumstances, then you will need to learn how to identify your personal emotional triggers. How to Identify Your Emotional Triggers Until you are able to identify your emotional triggers correctly, they will continually rule over your emotions. Rather than letting minor aggravations make you run for the hills, you need to learn how to take charge of your feelings. You can do this by first dealing with your personal stressors. There are different groups of stressors, including the following. Emotional Stressors Emotional stressors can also be considered internal stressors. These stressors include anxiety and fears, along with personality traits like suspiciousness, pessimism, and perfectionism. These kinds of stressors often distort your thinking or perceptions that you have toward others. Family Stressors This category of stressors includes financial problems, relationship problems, empty-nest syndrome, and coping with unruly adolescents. All of these issues can trigger an emotional response. Social Stressors Social stressors can come from the interactions that you have with other members of society. They can include public speaking, dating, and parties. Just like emotional stressors, social stressors are individualized. Change Stressors Change stressors are ones that originate from necessary changes that happen in your life. These stressors can include moving to a new location, starting a new job, getting married, having children, and others. Work Stressors Work stressors are ones that occur in the workplace, which is typically full of pressure. These stressors can include an unpredictable boss, endless tasks, and tight deadlines. In addition to these above stressors, there are other categories of triggers that can affect your emotional intelligence. These can include things like the decision, disease, physical, phobic, pain, and environmental. After looking through the stressors listed above, you can start to determine the main stressors that you deal with daily in your life. It is possible to find that some of your stressors fall into more than one category. How to Deal with Emotional Triggers Once you’ve determined the stressors in your life, you need to figure out how to deal with them one at a time. Here are some of the common strategies that people use to deal with emotional triggers. Elimination Some of the emotional triggers that you experience can be eliminated from your life for good. For example, if a particular community doesn’t give you the peace of mind that you desire, you can decide to move to a new area and start a new life. This way, you will have eliminated the social stressors entirely from your life. For the workplace, you can either ask for a transfer or look for another job. However, some of the stressors can’t be easily eliminated and eliminating some of the stressors could end up causing significant loss in your life. To deal with these stressors, you’ll need to work to resolve them using some of the other strategies. Reducing the Stressors’ Strength This is a good strategy because it enables you to co-exist with others while minimizing the impact of the stressors. For example, if loud music from your neighbor is keeping you from concentrating on your tasks, you might want to consider investing in a pair of earplugs. If you feel that your morning trip to work is a stressor, because you have to drive for more than two hours, you might think about using public transportation or carpooling with others from your work. Coping It is said that if you can’t beat them, join them. For a majority of the stressors, you may just have to learn how to live with them, because eliminating them from your life could end up being counter-productive. You need to come up with coping techniques that will allow you to be clearheaded and calm, even when you find yourself under pressure. The sooner you can master these techniques, the better you will become, and some of the stressors will no longer be threatening as they used to. Talking to a Friend If you have a trusted friend, one of the best ways to deal with stressors is to approach them and communicate your feelings to them. This way, you can get encouragement, fresh ideas, and the support you need to help you overcome your emotional triggers. You need to consider the feedback you receive carefully because it comes from an independent perspective. If you can’t find a person to open up to, you can also join a support group where people who are facing similar challenges meet and talk with each other. These kinds of networks have life coaches who have experience in dealing with issues around emotional triggers.

A person who doesn’t know themselves, inside and out, will not be capable of growing and changing in the ways that will help them to evolve as a person, because that person will likely be a slave to their vices without even knowing it! Most of us have a hard time admitting our flaws and faults, even to ourselves. That gives them free reign over our lives, and a season pass to sabotage anything that we are working on. It is a sneaky way for us to get in our own ways without really being able to see the problem for what it is; an act of self-sabotage! The most effective strategy in combating self-sabotage is to get to know yourself inside and out. This may seem simple, but it is probably going to be a lot more complex than you might think. It’s more than just sitting down and listing the things you think you know about yourself, which is a good start. This is a time-intensive process that you will need to do with the help of friends and family whom you can trust to tell you the truth, whether it hurts your feelings or not. But before we involve anyone else in the process of getting to know yourself, first you have to figure out just what it is that you already have covered. One thing that may really help you is to take the Meyers-Briggs Personality test. Upon taking this test, you will find yourself placed in one of sixteen categories, and these categories each have a detailed profile that can help you understand more about yourself and the way you respond to certain situations and stimuli. This can also be useful in learning more about how you conduct yourself in relationships and as a part of a peer group, without having to rely on the feedback of your trusted friends and family. These types of personality tests are also very insightful when it comes to the way one approaches their goals and whether or not they are realistic in the manner in which they attempt to achieve their dreams. Knowing your personality type may provide you with the insight you have been waiting for when it comes to which approach might work best for you in furthering your career or tackling the to-do list that has been put on the back burner for far too long. Once you have a basic understanding of your personality type, you can begin to narrow your focus down onto what it is that you truly believe in. Each of us have core values that provide us with the drive that spurns us onward. If we don’t know what it is that we truly believe in, then it can be hard for us to feel fulfilled and our lives can lack in passion and motivation. But once we latch onto a core value that we truly feel passionate about, everything then begins to change. We can begin building a foundation for our lives and experiences based on these values; in a way that makes even the most mundane task begin to feel rewarding. How might that be? Because we know that even the smallest task can accumulate to a major accomplishment. And when you are living a life that is true to your core values and beliefs, these major accomplishments are sure to be things that truly serve your life’s purpose. It is one of the most effective ways to make yourself feel like the master of your own destiny! Many people simply don’t know themselves well enough to live a satisfying life, and this can be very sad. Whether it is a traumatic past that keeps you stuck, or it is simply a lack of self-knowledge or discipline, we all have to know who we are at the most fundamental level. Many people are so disconnected from themselves that they don’t even know what it is they like or don’t like. Now is the time to find these things out. If you have a hard time with this, now is the time to trust your friends and family to help you see yourself objectively. Ask them what they think your biggest pet peeves are, what you truly care about, and what it is you enjoy doing the most. Consider their opinions on your flaws and weaknesses, and vices that you might need to keep in check. Remember that the fastest way to empowerment is in knowing your own weaknesses. Honesty about these weaknesses helps you to develop them so that they are no longer holding you back. Keep it up until you have been able to build them into strengths! Goal: Start a journal. In this journal, outline the things that make you who you are. Write down your self-perception in as much detail as possible. Take a test online to find out your Meyers-Briggs Personality type, and journal about any insights you might have learned from taking this test. Every day, write about a strength in yourself you have used recently and how it is positively impacting your life. Also, write about a weakness in yourself that you have pinpointed, and what you are doing to address it and balance it out so that you are taking control over your vices and turning them into strengths! A person with power over their own faults is a true master of their own destiny. Chapter 2 – Do Not Break, Just Bend Up to Your Capacity One thing that most people use as an excuse in giving up the control they need in their lives is other people. Other people get in the way. Other people make demands on their time so that they aren’t able to achieve the things that they want to accomplish. Other people are responsible for the fact that they aren’t able to get their lives organized and really take the reins. While it can be true that other people may pose interesting challenges when it comes to achieving our goals, the fact is that there is a difference between accommodating others and having healthy relationships versus bending over backwards to be a people pleaser and spending way too much time in doing so. People who master their destinies don’t do it by kissing ass. They do it by putting their goals as their top priority and achieving them by any means necessary! This doesn’t necessarily mean putting other people on the back burner. The fact of the matter is that humans are social animals, and we survive and thrive in communities where we help each other to evolve and learn. We work with people who rely on us, and if they find that we are willing to compromise ourselves for them, they will put us to work until we reach our limits. But many of us have a tendency to want to make everybody around us happy, and sometimes that means putting our own happiness on the line. It can seem impossible at times to please everybody around us, and the person who wants to focus on mastering their own destiny should take this as a lesson. It is impossible to make everybody happy. That is why it is most important to make sure that we are focusing on ourselves. This is not selfish. Actually, it is quite the opposite. When you are in an airplane that is crashing out of the sky, you are more likely to be able to help your elderly seat-mate if you know to put your oxygen mask on first. When we don’t wear the oxygen mask, we can’t effectively help those around us, because we haven’t taken care of ourselves first. This is a lesson that anybody with a tendency to people-please should keep in mind. If we don’t take care of ourselves, we will not provide ourselves with sufficient care. That can be dangerous and difficult for us to reconcile later, when we find we are so bogged down with the weight of other people’s problems and expectations that we no longer know who we are anymore. The key to mastering your own destiny is in being able to let yourself have the freedom you need to say no. You can still be a social animal. You can still cohabitate with others and enjoy your team at work and achieve goals in a group setting. But the trick is in being able to set healthy boundaries so that you don’t end up feeling as if you are being taken advantage of. Like the mighty reed, we need to bend, compromising only what truly needs compromised in order to succeed. We cannot break ourselves by taking on too much weight at once. Anybody who can step on us to serve themselves is likely to do just that. What we need to do is learn how to set healthy boundaries. And the first step in doing so is to put the oxygen mask on yourself and identify where in your life you could be more assertive.

Sample Content Preview Get Serious About Your Profile Photo Too many people spend countless hours trying to create a great LinkedIn profile, only to destroy their branding by either neglecting to include a profile picture or having an image that reflects poorly on them. Research shows that most people take less than a tenth of a second before formulating an opinion and drawing a conclusion about you. This means that when they visit your LinkedIn profile, the picture you’ve chosen as your profile picture instantly tells them a story about you. You need to include a professional picture of yourself if you want to convey a professional message to your followers. If you are going to add a picture of yourself, it should be either a shot of your head and shoulders or one that shows your head to waist in the frame. Make sure that you are dressed professionally and that it matches your message and role. Photos, where you make eye contact and smile, will attract the most attention. When you look the part, those who view your profile will believe you are the part. Optimize Your First and Last Name LinkedIn is a platform that is highly searchable, which includes the name section on your profile. When you are adding your name to your profile, you need to determine what prospective clients might write in the search function within the platform. For example, you are a business client, and a potential customer is searching for someone who is a business consultant in the Denver area, would your name appear in their search and what impression would it give them, what about if they did a Google search? Ultimately, it's your profile, and short of using anything illegal or abusive, you can use any form of address that you wish. However, it is essential for you to remember that people buy from those that they know, trust, and like. So, you have to make sure you think about what you do here, just don't include your degrees or qualifications, and never include emojis or favicons. Just make sure that what you put is searchable, and that it represents who you are in the best possible light. Optimize Your Headline LinkedIn gives you 120 characters to convey a message about who you are and what you do, and how you can solve your target audience’s problems. Your headline is where you get to begin telling your story and should be in sync with the story that you share with your network. LinkedIn will automatically default to the title of your current role. This is usually pretty bland and conveys very little about who you are. Remember, LinkedIn is searchable so you should be using this opportunity not only to tell your story, but include as many keywords that you can that are relevant to your industry. Don't be boring. You may be tempted to use your headline to show off your qualifications, but this says very little about what you can do to solve the real issues of your prospective clients. Use your headline to create interest and demand a reaction from your words. Create a Professional and SEO Focused Summary One of the most critical areas on LinkedIn is the summary area of your company profile. Your summary is your opportunity to create a great first impression and get your target audience to want to know more about what you can do to help them. It is the very first section that they will see on your profile, and is where you can showcase your expertise in the field. It needs to be as good as you can make it. You only get the first 220 characters of your summary to make a good impression. This is all that is seen before your audience has to click on the ‘see more' option. It is vital that you accentuate these first few lines and words to ensure that you provide a clear idea of what you do, your skills, and what value you can add. Make sure you effectively use the relevant keywords for your industry. Also, make sure that your summary is written in the first person. When you write in the third person, it gives the impression that you are unapproachable and might make you seem like you are distant. Your summary is your story, so be as authentic and real as you can and remember this is your real estate, so make the most of it.

Here’s the link again: https://promotelabs.com/sas Affiliate Marketing Terminology If affiliate marketing sounds like something you’d like to get involved in, you’ll want to brush up on the most commonly-used terms associated with this multi-million-dollar industry. Here are some of the terms you should know: Affiliate Program: An arrangement in which the advertiser pays a commission to an affiliate for each sale captured via their website or advertising link. The commission model is based on actions performed by users, usually involving lead generation, subscription to a service, a direct one-time purchase, or other actions. The advertiser will utilize performance-tracking software to track the users’ actions and the affiliates who have assisted in that process. Many service providers run their own affiliate program, which means they buy traffic for themselves to increase their own profit. Affiliate Manager An Affiliate Manager is any person who communicates with the affiliates. They often create offers and take care of maximizing performance of the affiliate program. Advertiser This is a person or organization that owns a business and offers services or products to customers. Advertisers are willing to pay affiliates for each new lead or customer they bring. This helps them promote their brand and acquire new customers. Affiliate Network An affiliate network acts as an intermediary between affiliates and advertisers. Affiliate networks allow affiliates to easily find and participate in affiliate programs suitable for their inventory.

Table of Contents Introduction 5 Blockchain 101 6 Real-World Examples 11 How Blockchain Can Benefit Your Business 14 Final Words 26 Resources 29 Sample Content Preview These hash codes allow the blocks to be linked together in order on the chain. This hash code is created by a mathematical function that takes digital information and creates a string of letters and numbers from it. No matter what size the original file may be, a hash function will always generate a code that is the same length as all the other codes. For example, a tweet message is far shorter than a novel like The Lord of the Rings, yet they both would have a hash code of the same length. A blockchain database is shared across a network of computers, so no one computer contains the information. That network is constantly checking the information to ensure that all the copies of the database are correct. Once a record has been added to the blockchain, it’s very hard to change it. Any changes to the record will generate a new hash code. So, if someone decided to edit The Lord of the Rings and removed a single comma, the resulting edit would have a whole new hash code. This is why it’s so hard to hack a blockchain. The blockchain will still have the original hash code embedded in it, so for a hacker to restore the chain, he or she would have to recalculate that—and the next hash code, and the next, and so on. Recalculating all those hash codes would take a hacker an enormous amount of computing power (not to mention the time). One of the reasons cryptocurrencies are so fascinating is that there’s no central authority controlling the blockchain. Each person in a blockchain has the capability to access the same information. This provides transparency and continual reconciliation. And, since the blockchain exists on many different computers without a centralized version of the information, there’s no central database a hacker can attack. This means you no longer need a trusted third party to verify your information and process your transactions. You do, however, need some way to trust the other parties. Members of a blockchain are anonymous and there’s no real way to tell if they’re trustworthy or not. To resolve this issue, blockchains set tests for the computers who try to join the network. These tests are called consensus models. The consensus model tests require a computer to “prove” themselves in one of two ways. Proof of work requires a computer to “work” an increasingly difficult computational puzzle in order to add a block to the chain. This process, which is called mining, takes a lot of computer power. In return for this work, members may receive rewards like tokens or bitcoins. With proof of stake, on the other hand, participants buy tokens that allow them to join the network. The more tokens they have, the more they can mine. Real-World Examples The financial services industry is one of the areas beginning to utilize blockchain technology to save on cost and develop new services. Financial institutions have been investing in blockchains to simplify their record-keeping for payments and other transactions. One recent example is the Australian stock market, which announced they’d be using blockchain to settle transactions. “This technology,” says Gillian Ellas, “will be used to record shareholdings and manage the clearing and settlement of equity transactions.” Another financial example is a company called Abra, a money transfer platform that lets people working abroad send money home in 54 different currencies. The money transfers are fast and cheaper than a traditional service like Western Union, which charges an average of 7% of the amount of money sent, according to the World Bank. A third blockchain project involves the World Wildlife Fund and three other companies that are working together to sustainably source tuna in the Pacific Ocean. These companies are ConsenSys, a blockchain company, TraSeable, an information technology firm, and SeaQuest Fiji, a tuna fishing and processing company. The four together are utilizing blockchain to track where, when, and how the tuna are caught and sold. Blockchains are also the basis for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which can be bought and traded like traditional assets. And recording trades on a blockchain offers a way to check the history of a product. An additional example would be jewelry companies, which hope to assure customers that their diamonds are not from a place where their purchase might finance war. “Several major companies are investing in blockchain,” says Ellas, “including Microsoft, IBM (with more than 400 blockchain projects around the world), Unilever, and Toyota.”

Sample Content Preview In fact the failure rate of businesses in many parts in the United States is over 50% in the first 5 years. This is higher in other areas and lower in other areas but by enlarge, 1 in 2 restaurant businesses that open, end up closing. Some shut down sooner rather than later. Still, you have to confront this really scary statistic. Internet businesses on the other hand can be set up with absolutely zero money. I know, stop rubbing your eyes. This is definitely not a lie. If you don't believe me, go to places like medium.com, wordpress.com or blogger.com. You can put up a blog for absolutely no money. You don't need to spend money or domain name. You don't have to spring for hosting fees. As long as you know how to write and as long as you know how to drive traffic, everything you earn from that blog go straight into your bank account. Which would you rather have? A hundred fifty thousand dollars to set up a restaurant that has a 1 and 2 chance of failing or a blog that only costs you a few hours of writing time. And can possibly make you thousand of dollars in add revenues, sponsorship and product sales every single month. Which would you rather choose? The great thing about online businesses is that your primary input is your time. It's not you money. It's not like your stock training where you basically buy stock and you buy low and sell high, or you borrow stocks and sell high only to buy it back again when it crashes and you keep the difference. It is not as capital intensive ways of making money. You still have to invest though, the main input is your attention and your time. Since most people do have a lot of time, specially senior citizens who have already retired, this should be right up your ally, instead of wasting your time playing bingo or doing stuff online that just basically wastes your time. You can do something that you're passionate about. Maybe you're doing arts and crafts for your etsy store, maybe you're picking out products in China at Aliexpress or dropshipping. Maybe you are writing a blog based on your long professional experience or your personal opinion. Whatever the case maybe, as long as you have time you can turn it into cold hard US dollars. How awesome is that? In the normal business world you need capital to start a business. You have to go to the small business administration and get a loan or you can get a private bank loan. Whatever the case it may be, cash is king. You need capital. As you probably already know, to make money, you have to have a customer. Whatever it is, you're offering has to offer enough value to them so they would spend their hard earned dollars on what you are selling. Pretty straightforward, this is market economics 101. Now as you know, if you don't have much buyers in your particular city, town, or municipal area in the united states, you're pretty much out of luck. Unless you are located near in some sort of interstate, or where you have a mail order business, your business market size is restricted to the local population or if you set it up properly, the regional market. But there are hard limits to how many people you can sell to. This is not the case when you're selling stuff on the Internet. For example, you can set up a dropshipping business where you buy stuff from China and you sell it to people from the United States. In this case, there may be people from all over the U.S and even Canada, Mexico or elsewhere, buying your stuff. Now if you are selling digital goods, like e-books, software, canned, graphics, you can sell to people all over the world. We're talking about the people from India, Philippines, Mexico, Nebraska, the United Kingdom and all points in between. You have just exploded your market size. As long as your website is visible to them, they are fair game. You can possibly turn them into paying customers. This is not the case with a purely local business. If you're not doing any kind of mail order, you're basically stuck with physical traffic. Everybody on this planet has some knowledge that somebody will pay good money for. I know that seems like a big reign but it's absolutely true. Take the average person. That person may have experiences that can be translated into a story that people may want to hear by. Forget about technical knowledge. Forget about tutorials, online courses or how to programs. I'm just talking about stories. For example, somebody went through a very rough childhood. Maybe somebody had a rough romantic relationship, people resonate. Because people are emotional. People are looking for others who they can relate. This is how celebrity culture, believe it or not, begins. It's all about interpersonal connection. Because no person is an island. We are social animals. And knowing this, you can cash-in on your knowledge and experience. How? Write a blog. When you put up a blog with your experiences and your knowledge, you work once. But when people discover it, using search engines, social media or whatever else, they engage with your content and if they click on an ad or they buy a copy of your book you make money. Here's the magic. You work once but you make money many times over from your product. Remember, you're only putting in extra man of hours to create your product. Once its done it goes up on your website and you move on to the next product or you don't do anything. In other words, you put in only so many hours to produce your product but many different people can keep buying that product not just within a year but several years. I know people who have published books on amazon kindle and spend maybe a week putting their book together. Their book make them anywhere from $10,000- $200,000 every single year. That's the awesome thing about that. You don't have to work for that money because you've put in the work once.

There’s no need to ‘climb the corporate ladder’ or to compete for promotions. You can get to the top overnight if you have the right skills because it’s all on you. And in this book, we’ll be looking at the secrets you need to really start earning the big bucks as an affiliate marketer. The Affiliate Marketing Lifestyle: What Does Affiliate Marketing Involve? Perhaps the biggest draw of affiliate marketing though is not the money. Instead, for many people the appeal lies in the fact that this is a completely ‘passive’ business model. Once you’ve set everything up such as your sales funnel, your affiliate network account and your blog/sales page, then you can literally be earning money while you’re sleeping or while you’re on holiday. But again this can get twisted. This lifestyle is what you can achieve once you’re at the top of your game as an affiliate marketer – it doesn’t come overnight. In fact, affiliate marketing is likely to initially involve a lot of work. The idea here is that you put in the work up front so that you can sew the seeds of your labor further down the line. To begin with, you need to be willing to put in a lot of hours for very little reward. Specifically then, what does affiliate marketing involve? If you’re reading this book, then there’s a good chance you have a general idea but we’ll recap in a little more detail for those who do not. Essentially, as an affiliate marketer, you sell products for commission. This means you’ll be finding products online and promoting them using your own affiliate link. If someone clicks on your link and then buys the product, you’ll get a cut of the profit. Often, affiliate marketing involves selling digital products and you can expect your cut to be as much as 50% all the way up to 75% of the RRP. There’s no risk involved for you because you’re not creating the product and there’s nothing for you to ship or for you to store. All you have to do is sell but you earn more than the creator. The hard part though is in doing that selling. This is where the ‘marketing’ part comes in and your job from here is to find yourself a large audience through a blog, through an e-mail campaign, through advertising or through social media; whichever tool you find the most effective. This is why there’s no steep learning curve or barrier for entry for beginners. All you’re literally doing is making sure people see your affiliate link. There’s no product creation and no investment. You can get started tomorrow in minutes and it won’t cost you a penny. If you’re a big blogger and you already have an audience of 10,000 readers a day then you’re going to find this very easy. All you need to do is put some very persuasive text on your website along with the link and you’ll start driving traffic. If this is your first attempt at affiliate marketing though, then you may well find this process a little more complex and little more hard going. You now have two options: - Build your own audience - Advertise (Actually, there are other methods and growth hacks you can use which we’ll come to later, but for now this will suffice.) Advertising If you’re going to use the route of paid marketing, then that means you’re going likely going to be using PPC. This is ‘Pay Per Click’ and basically means that you pay for every person who clicks on an ad and thus gets sent to your site. The more you pay, the more visitors you get. If you design your site well and you can really convince people to buy your products, then you should be able to convert a predictable amount of visitors into buyers. This in turn means you can work out your precise ROI. So if you pay a certain amount per visitor, and N percentage of those visitors earn you X amount of money, you can tell whether or not your strategy is profitable. The amount you pay per click will depend on the amount of competition available for your ad. PPC ads work on a ‘bidding’ system, whereby the advertiser offering the most per click is the advertiser whose ad is most likely to show. Meanwhile, even if your website is very effective at convincing people to buy, you’ll still only get 0.5%-10% of visitors converting (and more often, you’ll be at the bottom end of that spectrum). So you’ll need your ad to be seen by about 1,000-2,000 people in order for you to get a single sale, which means you’ll be paying a relatively high amount for your ad to be seen 10,000 to 20,000 times for about 100 sales. This is a formula that takes a lot of adjusting and you can expect to lose a certain amount of money before you get it right. With a good set-up, you can expect to spend $600 a day on PPC to make about $200 profit. That’s quite a big risk when you’re first starting out and for the first few months you probably will be operating at a loss (until you learn the right keywords to target, the right products to sell, the right sales pitch etc.).

Sample Content Preview You Don’t Understand the Technology What makes Bitcoin and many cryptocurrencies innovative is their underlying technology. But if you don’t understand the foundations of the technology, the road will be risky. You don’t want to rely on others’ ‘knowledge’ to make your investment decisions. Until you can judge these projects for yourself, you will be missing out on big opportunities. After all, the creators of Bitcoin and its first adopters were all techies. To avoid this, find educational sources you trust, take the time to learn, and most importantly, enjoy the journey of learning. Once you understand block rewards, consensus algorithms, premining, and all the fancy jargon, you will be an improved, independent investor. Blockchain technology is continuously advancing, so keep up with it the best you can. 4. You Ignore Fees Now that you’ve taken action, take your time and find the right exchange with the best fees. When people start trading, they make lots of trades a day hoping to earn small profits. While this is nice in theory, fees are killing them. Even if they are low, it all adds up. Do your research before you trade. To become a successful investor, you need to start taking good habits right now. 5. You Overtrade Some investors, mostly beginners, want to make 20 trades a day. This is dangerous. Ultimately, many of them lose from fees or because they make bad trades a mistake and then trade more to recover their losses. Only to dig a deeper and deeper hole for themselves. The reality is that there aren’t 20 good trading opportunities in a day. Trading too much leads to poor decision making. 6. You Don’t Understand Tax Implications Overtrading also increases your tax liabilities. At least in the United States and Canada. Most people think that they only owe taxes on profits that were sold back to USD/CAD, when in fact, you owe taxes on every single trade you make - even crypto to crypto. The IRS and CRA view every trade as a realized gain or loss. Put simply, if you buy Ether with Bitcoin, they consider this a taxable event on a realized gain or loss. They assume that you sold Ethereum to USD, then purchased Bitcoin with USD, even though this is not what happened. Ignoring both tax implications and exchange fees will severely impact your overall cryptocurrency investment strategy. Tax implications, in addition to accumulated fees and bad trades, is another reason why you should not overtrade. 7. You Invest Your Life Savings Rule number one of investing; don’t invest more than you can afford to lose. You should go into this ready to lose whatever you put in. Ultimately, as the price swings up and down, you should remain calm and still be living a healthy life with room for regular spending. I’ve heard countless horror stories of people investing greedily with their entire life savings or borrowing large sums of money. This is a HUGE mistake. Funny enough, even if you hit it big, your greed will likely win you over. For example, if you invest $50,000 and at one point have $150,000, then your mind will rationalize and normalize these winnings to feel less significant than they are. The next thing you know, the market drops, and you are back at break even, or at a loss.
