Nicola's oldest best friend is visiting Stoupa and that, and what she's learning about trading currencies is making her reflect on how, most of her life, she's been at the mercy of her feelings. Now, she's really 'getting' what she tried to teach her children, that 'this too will pass'. Whether you are building a career, building a business, trading the stockmarket, making a deal or just living your life, you have to get a grip of your feelings. You'll be much happier when you can do that!  Clicks And Leads is a "tongue in cheek" digital marketing Vzine by entrepreneur, author, podcaster, speaker, Nicola Cairncross. On the blog Resistance Visualisation What Does Success Mean To You What To Do With Your Goals Beating Resistance - Tip 1 Beating Resistance - Tip 2 What You Focus On Increases White Labelling Your Courses Bigger Thinking Prefer to read? Well, welcome back to the Vzine. It's Nicola here and it's Sunday morning. I'm a bit late recording this because I've had my best friend Kim staying in Stoupa for the last week with her partner Jeremy. It's been great fun to catch up with them. They've fallen in love with the place as everybody does and now Kim's daughters are arriving today along with an old friend Jane and a friend of one of her daughters so it's going to be a girls' week for the next week. So I'm not anticipating much work getting done which is lucky that I've got it set up so that my VA can do a lot of the heavy lifting for me this week. What else have I been up to? I've been swimming everyday because it's been super hot here, not as bad as Italy and France but pretty hot nonetheless. And it's climbing to 37 degrees on Thursday so lots of swimming to be heard this week, that's for sure. Sarah's still here. My sister's staying next door which is nice 'cause that's company yet we have our own places so that's very cool. This week has been an exciting week on the cryptocurrency trading. I've made quite a lot of money this week. And it's wonderful to finally have learned something that I've always been interested in and I've been on many courses for but I haven't managed to grasp yet until recently and I've been doing that by watching the daily, once every three days videos by a guy called Charting Man Dan. If you're at all interested in trading anything really, he's very good at teaching you how to read the technical analysis charts of shares going up and down. He's called The Chart Guys so if you looked for him on YouTube, you'll find him under The Chart Guys and I highly recommend him, he's fantastic. So let's get over the show, shall we? So this week, I wanted to quickly talk to you about feelings. I'm learning to trade cryptocurrencies which is like trading the stock markets, it's a similar kind of thing. It's interesting because when you start to learn to trade, one of the things that you learn is that the markets are driven by greed and fear and they talk about that there's a bull stampeding that way and there's bears stampeding that way and there's buffaloes stampeding along when the market is going sideways and it's all about people's feelings and emotions. So you have to really get to grips with those if you're going to be a successful trader because the whole point of being a successful trader is to buy when the markets dip and sell when the markets are going up which is absolutely 100% opposite to what you want to do. If you've got ownership of a stock or a crypto and it's going up, you naturally want to hang on to it. But what you've got to do is set a target for that and then get out of it just before the top. Now, you can only do that if you're not being gripped by emotion and that you're trading according to a strategy that you created based on looking at the charts. So that's been a really interesting experience. The other thing that's been making me think a lot about feelings is because my friend Kim is in Sto...
