the skool CLASSIFIEDS vs The Five Minute Investor

The skool CLASSIFIEDS helps you win!

Hey, everybody. My name is Matt and I have been a member of the Classifieds now for almost six months, I believe, and it has been awesome. Shannon has cultivated a really cool culture here and everybody is just going around and obviously sharing and promoting, but also reacting to and using it as a vehicle for discovering new communities. So it's been a really, really awesome space to be in and yeah, I'm definitely happy that I joined. So being a member has been really cool because I am able to obviously learn firsthand about all sorts of incredible communities, but as a premium member, I can also go around and promote my community and even do masterclasses inside, which has been really awesome. I've learned a lot from the people who are doing masterclasses. And because you need to think about how to kind of pitch and promote what you're working on, it is also a forcing function, just being there and seeing what's working well for other community builders and how they're going about posting things. And then of course, getting shout outs from other members has been really fun. So other members are using their daily allotment of posting ability to actually even shout me out, which has just inspired me to shout them out. And it's like a really cool reciprocal sort of thing. So I'm really been enjoying being a member in that regard as well. So, if you need practice pitching or promoting or just generally learning how to better share the value of your offer, the Classifieds is a really awesome place to be because you can go and do so and try all sorts of different things all the time. So, it's really special to go and have an environment that welcomes you in doing that, but also you get to see tons of other people going about doing it. So, if you really want to go and grow in that way, I would say that's going to be a good fit. If it wouldn't be a good fit, it's probably going to be people who just want to promote and don't actively want to engage or be a part of the community in any way. If you're just looking to kind of like spit out all your stuff and go and leave, then that's not great. But, you know, if you want to become part of the community, if you want to eventually do a masterclass, you know, you want to contribute and comment there, I think the Classifieds is a great place to be for those kinds of folks. So, for all those of you who fit in that bill, we'll see you inside.

Some reflections after a few weeks ...

Just reflecting on the last few weeks and what seems to be moving me forward and thought sharing might help others in the community: 1) Setting aside an hour a day - I’ve scheduled this and sticking to it has been transformative. These hours are sometimes while I go for a run, in gym, walk or trading after work when the alarms go off. 2) I’ve watched the training and some several times - each time I hear something I missed the precious times. 3) Paper trading every signal has just boosted my confidence with strategies but also building the repetitive habits and familiarity with TradingView and Interactive Brokers - I am getting quicker, accurate and more able to see errors and self correct. 4) I’ve watched all the coaching calls - listening has helped with the language, reinforcement and answers questions I have too. 5) The 90 day planning is golden - clarity and focus is power - goals are achieved one small step at a time. 6) Back testing has helped so much - confidence with preferred funds and strategies - I now know what is likely to give me the results I’m looking for. 7) Interactive Brokers is a bit daunting - aside from trading all signals in the paper account, I watched the IBKR training on their website and it has demystified the platform a bit more adding to my confidence. 8) Filling out the tracking sheet - this made a big difference to getting familiar with funds, premiums, returns, narrowing down to what fits my objectives. 9) So like how David and Beverley share their wisdom - done in a very accessible caring kind way. I do hope this helps.

The Most Comprehensive Option Available

I knew David and the extent of his knowledge for almost 5 years beforehand, and I am so glad he decided to create this course. He is one of the best teachers I know, same goes for Beverley, and their joined experience with money, with life, and with planning is included in The Five Minute Investor. I have been on trading courses before, traded for years in small amounts, but this is a game changing experience. Starting with a basic strategy was so easy, with all the tools needed explained, no extra charges or fees, everything I needed was included... then the Financial Independence calculator blew my mind... I had no idea how quickly I could make such a big difference to my life, and to my husband's too, as it really does take 5 mins per day once you're all set up. Now if we wanted to, and we want to, we could both stop working in 3 years with these strategies and we are both in our early 40s! I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't done myself, as I'm sure many others won't, and I will say to you all go to the course, do the work on all the free resources and your mind will be blown just like mine. I got the cost of the course back within 3 months, and I have multiple strategies now to learn and practice, that will serve me and my family for decades. For me the priorities were: the weekly coaching sessions (being a coach myself and knowing it's very effective), security for me and my family, and the freedom of my own choices for the rest of my life. David and Beverley gave me all that, and now keep me on track by offering 90 Day Planning every quarter, which I find invaluable. I use the tools from 5 Minute Investor in others aspects of my life, introduce relatives to it, and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to become an investor, or to find a passive income, or to retire early, or just to secure all they have and keep it safe and growing, or all the above. Thank you David and Beverley for creating this gem or financial knowledge.
