On my business partner’s podcast, I shared a story from my early trading days.
In my first year, I turned £13,000 into £100,000. On paper, that looked like success. But the reality? It felt empty.
I hadn’t built anything. I hadn’t grown as a person. I hadn’t developed skills that would carry forward. It was just numbers moving on a screen.
The real problem wasn’t the money it was mindset. Back then, I thought learning more was the same as becoming stronger. But information isn’t transformation.
A strong mindset isn’t about how much you know. It’s about how much you can handle. Pressure. Uncertainty. Setbacks. Failure.
That’s why personal development matters. Without it, money feels meaningless, growth feels fragile, and success feels hollow.
