09:18 Tip number 3 Know that you lost a good opportunity, than stepping in at the wrong moment.
It all sounds so obvious, right? And yet, whenever we get the chance we do that so often. it’s mainly the moment when you realize I’ve missed the boat. Accept the situation as is, leave it and don’t bother about it. Don’t hate yourself for it, don’t mourn it, don’t beat yourself up. Nothing helps if you do so.
10:50 BONUS: Challenge
We always believe, we have 2 choices. But that’s not true! there is always a third choice! We have BUY, we have SELL and the third choice is we just HOLD. Same goes for YES , NO and I don’t know, so I’ll just leave it be for now. For this challenge, I would like to give you the awareness, there are always more choices than you believe. Each day, you will face different choices: Do I want to do this? or that? For the coming 7 days, what I would like you to do is take a look which other choices do you have, when you’re faced with a choice that seem like as if there are only 2 choices and note down, which choices you believe you had and why you picked for one. You’ll become more aware of you choices.
