She\u2019s a trading coach extraordinaire \u2014 kinda like the character Dr. Wendy Rhoades (played by Maggie Siff) in the current TV show \u201cBillions.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With firms in the U.S., the UK, and Dubai and the book \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transformingwallstreet.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transforming Wall Street: A Conscious Path for a New Future<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d under her belt, Kim usually consults with established and extremely successful traders. But today hosts Tim and Stephen are lucky to have her on the show to share tips with traders who are still on their way up! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to improve as a trader (ahem, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who doesn\u2019t<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)? Listen closely to every single thing that Kim has to say in this action-packed 100th episode of the SteadyTrade podcast! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Is Kim Ann Curtin? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that Kim Ann Curtin would become a fixture in the world of finance wasn\u2019t necessarily evident at an early age. She attended FIT (the Fashion Institute of Technology) in New York City and was initially on quite a different path&#8230; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then she decided to go into finance for the same reason as so many people: <\/span><b>to make money<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Then ten years later she decided to launch an executive coaching firm. Unfortunately, her timing wasn\u2019t great. She was just starting her business just a year before the stock market fell in 2008. Unfortunately, her timing wasn\u2019t great: She was just starting her career when the stock market began to dip in the 2000s. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With an interest in community and spirituality, she was inspired by the Free Hug movement and decided to give the concept a try in free\u00a0coaching for traders. Her spin was to offer her services initially for free. Her timing was spot on this time. The first day she set up with a \u201cThe Coach Is In\u201d sign coincided with the infamous market crash. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On any other day, people might\u2019ve walked by, but now they were curious and open following such a momentous event. Reporters interviewed her, and she was immediately branded &#8220;The Wall Street Coach.&#8221; That name has stuck ever since. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the episode, she weighs in on a variety of topics that are appropriate for traders at any and every level, including&#8230; <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning From Your Mistakes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing he\u2019s in the presence of a pro, Stephen asks the million-dollar question: How can degenerates like us stop making the same mistakes over and over? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yoda (er, Kim) has some incredible things to say on the topic, starting with this simple concept: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The process of recovery begins with self-awareness.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What would happen if instead of kicking yourself, you noticed patterns? For instance, \u201cEvery time this happens, I make a mistake.\u201d Can you learn to look at your tendencies with curiosity instead of judgment? That\u2019s a great starting point. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ego Isn\u2019t a Bad Thing <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the ego is often perceived as a bad thing, Kim posits that our ego isn\u2019t bad or wrong \u2014 it\u2019s built to help us survive. So the motive is to help us cope with whatever shows up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But then again &#8230; which ego is showing up for you? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kim suggests that there are two versions of the ego: The uppercase (Ego) and the lowercase (ego). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The uppercase Ego is the version of yourself that\u2019s enlightened, intuitive, and able to not be attached to results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lowercase ego is what tells you that your worth is based on success. It\u2019s a saboteur, a gremlin, and it can keep you from making positive changes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this episode, you\u2019ll be guided through a series of questions to ask yourself to get to the bottom of your trading tendencies, including: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you self-aware? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you see patterns in what you do?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you say to yourself?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What goes on in your mind when you trade? <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failure, Success, and False Hope<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to have a prenup before investing in anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as traders can have a hold and hope mentality in trades, they can have it in life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kim about the physiological aspects of failure, success, and false hope \u2014 and how that can mess with your mind as a trader. Don\u2019t fall into these traps! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Importance of Tracking Your Emotions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t train your emotions &#8230; but you can learn to work with them by being aware of them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the episode, Kim, Tim, and Stephen talk about the benefits of tracking not just trades, but also the emotions that come with trading. This can be a gateway to figuring out your unhealthy patterns. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if you think you\u2019ll be the one outlier, maybe you should check in with yourself about that grandiosity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, the most successful people have painful journeys. You must do some emotional intelligence work on yourself! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Got a Question? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have a question about the episode, Kim Ann Curtin, or about trading in general? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t be shy &#8230; ask SteadyTrade!
