[00:01] wheels, doing more, trying more, but never actually improving. These are the 10 reasons and adjustments that changed everything for me and allowed me to become consistently profitable. First, I moved past the experimenting phase. I
[00:15] tried everything, different setup styles, time frames, but now I know what works for me and more importantly, I've cut out what doesn't. Two, I focused on got good at it. Instead of chasing everything, I doubled down on a specific
