Memorial Day: What Does Finding Freedom Mean to You?

Remember, the stock market is closed on Monday, May 27 for Memorial Day.
As we go into the Memorial Day weekend, let’s take a moment to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom.

Memorial Day: What Does Finding Freedom Mean?
The practice of honoring fallen soldiers is an old custom. The three-day weekend, filled with picnics and barbecues to kick-off summer…
… it’s more of a modern thing. So, before you clock out for the weekend and lose three of your limited days on this Earth…
…I want to challenge you.
Take a moment and do two things:
First, find a sense of gratitude for the ultimate sacrifice made on your behalf. Yes, I know we all come from different backgrounds and cultures. That’s not the point. At some time, a soldier — known or unknown to you — gave their life so you can be free. Perhaps more recently than you can imagine.
Second, with that fresh feeling of gratitude, take a moment and think about what finding freedom means.
What does it mean to you?
I talk, write, tweet and shout about teaching people to be free. It’s part of my life mission. But sometimes I think there’s a disconnect.

Sooooo many people contact me and say they want to be free. But when they realize what it’s going to take, they sneak away. Or when they realize the hard work and sacrifices required, they complain…
“Oh, Tim I don’t want to study, it’s too hard.”
Or…
“Tim, I don’t have any money…”
Or…
“I don’t have the time because I have two children and work 40 hours a week…”
Stop it!
Get that feeling of gratitude again. Do it. Right now.
Okay. Let’s reboot.
You ever wonder why I make videos trading from swimming pools around the world? Or show off my exotic car collection? Or why you might find me doing charity work in South Africa one week and eating awesome food in the Faroe Islands the next?
This is my dream life. I want to inspire you and I want it to sink in. I want to plant a seed of possibility. I want you to see what it means for someone to live completely free.
Because that’s what America is about!
And if you don’t live in America, so be it. Because technology has changed everything. You can build your dream life from anywhere in the world.
Your dream life might not be trading from a beach in Seychelles or swimming in an infinity pool overlooking the Andaman Sea on Phuket. I’m not trying to say my life should be your dream life. It shouldn’t. You need to decide on your dream life and then…
…Go for it!
I’m living MY dream life. I’m doing what I’m meant to do. Frankly, I’m very fortunate — and I’m grateful.
But I want more people to live their dream life. THAT is what it means to have freedom.

Millionaire Media, LLCHow to Honor Your Freedom and Your Potential
Sadly, there are people living on this planet with very little freedom. And there are those with very little opportunity.
But you … if you’re reading this … YOU have the freedom and potential to chase pretty much anything. So long as you’re willing to work for it.
Here’s the deal…
A big part of what I teach is that financial freedom allows you to live any life you want. Some people just want to make as much money as possible. I’ve been there and it was a soulless existence. It’s not just about the money. But …
You can’t be free — completely free — to live your dream life if you’re broke. You need financial resources. I don’t know, maybe it’s possible. But it’s damned difficult. So when you message me, tweet me, leave comments to me saying ‘how hard it is to study and work,’ I say bullshit.
You want freedom to live the life of your dreams? You want to fulfill your potential? Do you want to honor the freedom you have and those who sacrificed everything for you to have it?
I don’t care if it was a family member three generations ago or someone who lost their life yesterday. They gave so you could live free. I don’t care about your political affiliation or religious beliefs. I don’t care about your ethnic background, the color of your skin, or your sexual orientation…
I care about your power, your potential, and your freedom.
You have the power to decide, right now, to strive to become completely free. Which means to become financially free. There’s no other way in this world. If you want true freedom…
…freedom from a J.O.B…
…freedom from a boss you hate…
…freedom from a place you’d rather not be…
…freedom from a toxic relationship…
…freedom from the demons of your own past…
…then you need financial resources. Earned in an ethical manner.
That’s the ONLY way to truly — 100% — live the life of your dreams.
What Can It Mean if You Maximize Your Life?

Millionaire Media, LLCWhat if?
What if you work hard, study hard, and build your own dreams? Not somebody else’s.
Your dreams.
If, by the end of this post, this makes sense … then please leave a comment below saying “I will build my own dreams.”
Too many people message me telling me they’re in debt. They’re living their life for a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Or their parents. They’ve given up on their dreams for a husband, wife, or their kids. They tell me they’re not really living — they’re not optimizing and maximizing the opportunity of life.
I’m not saying to give up on your relationships. Maximize those, as well. Live your life to the fullest.
I’m not even trying to tell you that what I teach — trading penny stocks — is the right way for you. I don’t know if it is or isn’t. Right now I don’t care. Sure, I’d love to have you as a student if you’re willing to work hard.
If you’re willing to work like my Trading Challenge student Jack Kellogg.
Jack wanted it so bad he woke up every day and couldn’t think of anything but learning to trade. All day. Every day. For over a year. Now he can trade. He’s on his way to finding freedom.
But it might not be right for you. And that’s OK. It’s fine.
What I want is for you to be able to look in the mirror every day and say “I’m building my own dreams.”
If you are a student, or you want to be a student of mine, then please, please, please take a moment and consider how you use this long weekend.
Not only this weekend…
…every weekend … every night after work… every single spare moment.
You could be using all your spare time to learn from my mistakes and experience. That’s why, frankly, I created a HUGE video library on Profitly. For you.
So YOU can choose freedom.
Open the Door to Your Creativity
Your mindset has to be one of possibility. Anything is possible. I know that sounds crazy and idealistic — but it’s true. In this day and age it doesn’t matter your background. It doesn’t matter your upbringing and it doesn’t matter how smart you are. It doesn’t matter how good or bad at math you are.
What matters?
Where is your heart? What is your heart telling you to do? What are you passionate about?
You want to honor those who sacrificed their lives for your freedom? Go live your life to the fullest. Maximize your life. Optimize your life.
If I can open your mind up just a little bit…
I’m not saying it’s going to be easy. I’m telling you it’s wonderful. Be self-sufficient, create the life of your dreams, work from anywhere in the world if that’s what you want.
We’re all different. What works for me might not work for you. We all have different personalities, different backgrounds, different strengths and weaknesses. But you have to have the mindset that you’re going to go for it. You have to be willing to dedicate yourself.
Dedication, determination, self-discipline, burning desire, and a definite specific goal. This is what you need to be self-sufficient and maximize the opportunity. What opportunity? Life.
Create it.
Technology Is Changing What’s Possible Faster Than You Can Imagine

Millionaire Media, LLCAnd it’s only just the beginning…
I carry around my bulky laptop and my smartphone and it seems normal. But the first portable computer came out the year I was born. (It was the Osborne 1 for you tech history buffs.) Smartphones didn’t really take off until the mid-2000s.
We’re only at the beginning of this digital revolution. There are new tools coming, faster wifi, a whole new internet…
…in the coming years, it’s going to be even easier to get started.
But…
You Can’t Cheat Success
Time takes time. You, frankly, have no excuse for not building the life of your dreams. Now, right now, you need to start studying. Because all the best tools and a funded trading account isn’t enough. All the things you think you need — won’t make a damn bit of difference if you don’t have the knowledge to put it to use.
You need knowledge and experience. How do you get them? Start studying right now. What should you study? Start by getting a Profitly subscription. If you really want to take it to the next level, apply for the Trading Challenge.
If you’re broke? You’re here, aren’t you? It’s OK if you’re broke right now. You can still have knowledge. Read this blog. Read every damn post. Follow the links in the posts. Learn the patterns, see the possibilities, and get inspired.
Read this post: My Top No-Cost Resources for New Traders.
Go to my YouTube channel. At the time of writing, there are 1,216 videos. The number grows weekly. Mind you, it’s not a complete education. For a complete education apply for the Trading Challenge.
Trading Challenge is me and my top students providing real-time alerts. We have video lessons, webinars, watchlists, DVDs…
If you’re already a student: stop screwing around and get serious. Start studying. You know there are nearly 50 categories of video lessons on Profitly? Get good at something.
Check it out — here are some numbers from Profitly. I just looked them up…
This is the number of videos in only a handful of categories:
- Earnings: 333 video lessons.
- Supernovas: 585 video lessons.
- Breakouts: 620 video lessons.
- Swing Trade Catalysts: 678 video lessons.
- Basics: 1,422 video lessons!
- Trading Mistakes: 1,191 video lessons…
Some students message me and say “I’m scared to trade, I’m making so many mistakes…”
Well, use the long holiday weekend to study. There are nearly 1,200 videos on trading mistakes. You think I haven’t made every damn mistake possible?
Use the resources. Study the past — it can fuel your tomorrow. Studying the past can be the key to your understanding your roadmap to freedom. That’s how you better prepare for the future.
You want freedom? Earn it. Go get it. Honor your potential. Honor your opportunity. Honor your life. Honor those who gave theirs so you could live yours. Stop messing around.
What are you going to do right now?
If you get it — if this all makes sense — comment below: “I will build my own dreams.”
Hey Everyone,
As many of you already know I grew up in a middle class family and didn't have many luxuries. But through trading I was able to change my circumstances --not just for me -- but for my parents as well. I now want to help you and thousands of other people from all around the world achieve similar results!
Which is why I've launched my Trading Challenge. I’m extremely determined to create a millionaire trader out of one my students and hopefully it will be you.
So when you get a chance make sure you check it out.
PS: Don’t forget to check out my 30 Day Bootcamp, it will teach you everything you need to know about trading.

Where to begin, Tim. Your thoughts for this Memorial Day Celebration has triggered so many thoughts. My Grandfather was soldier in WWI against Russia. It caused him to leave Germany and safe his family from Hitler.
My Uncles in WWII and sacrificed so much. I AGREE, WE SHOULD EMBRACE OUR FREEDOM TO EARN $$$ AND PROSPER TO SHARE WITH THOSE LESS FORTUNATE.
I have saved this video to re-read and comment again. GOOD FOR YOU AND ANYONE WHO GETS THE MESSAGE; ” TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS REQUIRED”
I will build my own dream. I will inspire others to build their dreams. I will inhale the positive and exhale the negative.
I AM building my own dream. Thank you Tim for your no-nonsense support, love and encouragement. Be blessed

“I WILL BUILD MY OWN DREAM”
Tim,
Thank you for this post. As a former Marine this is a solemn weekend. Freedom is not Free. For 243 years blood has been spilled in the fight for freedom.
Freedom to me is living in the greatest country in the world and doing what I want to do, when I want to do it. I’m not there yet but I’ve made “the decision” to change it.
I’m 61 years old and have had nearly every job you can think of and I’ve never been happy. From management roles in Fortune 500 companies to owning my own restaurant.
Fast forward to last week. Last week I ordered your Penny Stocking Silver. I have been studying like never before. The funny thing is I’m understanding what I’m studying. I will be a Challenge Student of yours in August. Then one day I can add to my definition of Freedom, “ Freedom from working a job for someone else, time freedom to travel and see this great country and beyond and financial freedom.
I’m looking forward to meeting you one day, shaking your hand and thanking you for guiding me to FREEDOM!
I’ve been building my freedom for years, this challenge will enhance my journey . My Dad was a soldier in WW2. Money gave him choices in his life as he was once poor . He lived a great life and so am I. Thank you .
Carl
I too will build my own dreams, and my wife’s.
I have begun studying and am taking advantage of your YouTube and Profit.ly
Thank you for being so generous. I hope to soon have some return on trades and jump in to your Trading Challenge.
See you soon!
I am slowly building my knowledge so I can trade with no fear and love the life I’ve always wanted. I am a challenge student and love the content you provide, I’m working 40 hrs a week and studying in between oh and I also have 3 kids and one on the way so talk about the importance and drive for me to learn well it’s all there, ive had a lot of issues to deal with that you do not cover and what a pain in the ass they are, however it hasn’t stopped me it’s just aggravating to deal with but I have and I move on to the next steps and or issues, learn, solve and move on. I really hope to be trading soon and yes I plan on being one of your top money making students. I cant wait to get to that point where we meet do some trades and have a good time.
I will build my own dreams!
