New Year's resolutions are pointless. You’ve seen it happen year after year—people start strong, but by January 4th, they’ve already slipped back into old habits. Studies show 92% don't follow through on their resolutions.
Why? Because simply resolving to make changes doesn't work. If it was that easy you would have started already. Resolutions rely on motivation. And motivation fades fast.
2025 is the year to try something different. This year, let's build a real plan in 4 simple steps. Let me (and the GKT community) help you! I'm talking about trading but this applies to life too..
Step 1: Know Your Why
Before you do anything, figure out your “why.” Why do you want passive income? Why do you want to trade?
It’s not about the money. Money is just a tool. What matters is what you’ll do with it. Spend more time with your family? Quit the job you hate? Travel the world?
When it gets hard—and it will—that “why” will keep you going.
Step 2: Face the Truth
Take an honest look at your current situation. Where are you financially?
Where can you cut back? How much can you save so you can trade and invest?
This part isn’t fun, but it’s necessary. You can’t fix what you don’t face.
Step 3: Start Small
You don’t need to change your life overnight. Focus on one small, repeatable action. I admit I have a hard time with this one. This graphic always helped me.
Instead of thinking about the profits from your trading, focus on the very next small step. Break it down into tiny rungs on a ladder!
If you’ve been curious about trading, start with selling a put. It’s simple, beginner-friendly, and a great way to dip your toes into the market.
Step 4: Commit to Action
Forget motivation. Build a system. Create a mechanical, consistent plan that removes emotions and excuses. Systems are needed in all areas of our life. Think of the checklist and airline pilot uses.
Stop overthinking. Start moving. Every step no matter how small gets you closer to the life you want.
Stop thinking and start doing. That's the beauty of our free community.
Say it with me: 2025 Is the Year of Action!
No more resolutions. No more analysis paralysis. This is the year you break out of your comfort zone, build a plan, and take action.
That’s why I’m hosting a 4-week mini-course starting January 10th. If you’re ready to learn the strategies, techniques, and mindset to start your first options trade, this course is for you.
2025 is your year. Let’s make it count. Ready to start?
Have a happy, healthy and profitable new year and as always happy trading good kids!
