My 7 Year Anniversary Teaching Forex!

Today marks a special occasion for me. It was 7 years ago today that I officially began teaching forex trading online. There’s some interesting lessons that I’ve learned since then…

My Start With Online Forex Trading

I got involved with online forex trading in 1997 when I got a letter in the mail explaining that for the first time ever it would be possible for average people to trade forex. Before 1997, only banks could do forex transactions. I was previously interested in stocks, so I started applying those ideas to forex.

I played around for a few years. I went to college & majored in math. I learned a lot about forex, but very little was published at the time.

4xtrend.com

On August 11th, 2003 I registered 4xtrend.com. I had already written a manual on how to trade forex a few months earlier simply called “Forex Education Manual.” The eBook was an instant hit. I sold about 100 copies the first month, and ended up selling over 10,000 copies of it before retiring it for more updated forex trading methods.

Back in 2003 there were very few websites teaching Forex. I was one of the original 3-5 sites that had any type of course teaching forex trading. Jared Martinez from MTI was one of the original forex trainers, but this cost around $2,000. Peter Bain from Forexmentor.com had been around for about a year when I got started. I was basically the third forex trainer online. I looked for others, there simply weren’t!

An Ugly Website

I didn’t know anything about web design, so I decided to make the website myself. Although this site got a daily scathing criticism for poor design, it sold HUNDREDS of copies of my forex trading manuals each month. Here’s a screenshot of what the website looked like:

Rapid Forex is Born

4xtrend.com looked like this for 2 years. On October 13th, 2005 I changed from 4xtrend.com to rapidforex.com. Since then, Rapid Forex has taught HUNDREDS Of THOUSANDS of people how to trade forex online. The Rapid Forex Supreme Trader Package sold THOUSANDS of trading packages for $597 each.

Online Forex Trading Legacy

Today there are THOUSANDS of online forex trading websites. You can easily get lost with all of them. I got into this industry at a great time. I’m proud of being one of the pioneers of online currency trading. Although it’s only been 7 years, it’s practically the entire history of forex trading online. It’s kind of like dog years, I’m a grandfather for online forex trading.

New Enthusiasm

I’m enjoying forex trading now more than ever. There was a time when I was burnt out from it due to bad business partnerships & naive attempts at managing a multi million dollar business. I’ve learned lot about trading in the past 7 years & I’ve got more wisdom to share now than ever before.

Many readers of this blog can remember 4xtrend.com. If you’re one of them, I thank you for hanging around since those days. If you’re new to this website, I look forward to sharing an even better next 7 years with you!

My new mission is for you to be able to Live the Fantasy Life of a Forex Trader, like I am now. Forex trading has changed my life forever. It brings me great joy to share it with you on this website

Achieve Your Dreams with Forex Freedom

Online forex trading is an amazing way to create an extra stream of income, diversify your investment portfolio, & achieve your dreams.

Since the basic Forex Sailing course has been completed (advanced lessons coming in a few weeks), and the Hedge Report is now available, I’ll be focusing on the topic of Forex Freedom & reviewing some Forex Sailing examples.

What is Forex Freedom?

When rapid forex first came out, the free report that I gave away was called “Forex Freedom.” This report told you how to scale your account as high as you wanted by hitting certain levels in your trading account where you increase your lot size.

This was a great illustration of how exponential growth can make you wealthy.

The concept of Forex Freedom was always a much larger concept to me…

Achieve Your Dreams with Forex Freedom

You’ve been attracted to online forex trading because you want to create enough income to live the life of your dreams.  Forex trading provides one of the most amazing opportunities to do this!

It’s also easy to lose track of what our goals are. If you think about it, money isn’t what we want. We want the things that money can buy for us. We want the freedom to do what we really want to without having to work more than necessary.

The Forex Freedom Mindset

Over the next few days I’m going to be sharing a process where you can have a plan to get whatever you want in life through forex trading. When you learn & follow Forex Freedom, you’ll KNOW the following:

• What you really want in life
• How long it will take you to get it (it’ll probably happen much sooner)
• An exact plan to get EVERYTHING you want in life.

I haven’t achieved EVERYTHING I want in life yet. I’ve come VERY CLOSE!

If I don’t add anything to the list of what I’m trying to achieve, I’ll REACH my goals for EVERYTHING I want in life by the end of 2010. I’ve got a plan that is moving me towards EVERYTHING I want, and it’s happening within the next 3-6 months.

Of course as soon as I get there, I’ll have new goals But it will be fun to get there!

How Far are You from Forex Freedom?

How long do you think it will take for you to get where you want in life?

At retirement?

In 25 years?

In 10 years?

I believe that all of these timeframes are WAY TOO LONG!

I believe that in 6 months to 5 years ANYONE can get EVERYTHING they want in life!

This includes:

• Permanent Financial Freedom
• Own your Dream House
• Enough time & Money to Travel
• Dream Car
• Money for your hobby
• Golf Everyday
• Money to give to charity & help loved ones
• Money to do whatever is important to you!

It Doesn’t Matter Where You’re At Now!

I’ve been flat broke one month, and the next month I made over $100,000!

It doesn’t matter what your current financial situation is. Where you’ve BEEN isn’t where you’re GOING to be!

There’s a Better Way

I’ve studied wealth accumulation & forex trading for my ENTIRE ADULT LIFE. I’ve learned some amazing methods that produce really outstanding results.

I’m not talking about “pie in the sky” kind of stuff. I’ve tried all of the make money quick programs. I’ve even been successful with some of them.

What I’ll be teaching about Forex Freedom is different.

Forex Freedom will create wealth for you that will LAST you the REST of your LIFE!

Forex Freedom is about living the lifestyle you want to, and making the world a better place by being the example of what people should be like.

I’m not promising this will happen over night. I even GUARANTEE this will happen SOON enough with a little faith and persistence.

I’m on the path with you & I’m happy to share what’s been working for me & what I’ve seen work for many others.

Forex Freedom is the Reason to Master Forex Trading Online

In the Hedge Report I teach you EXACTLY how to trade forex successfully. Even if you learn how to make money, you’ll never create wealth & abundance without what I call “Forex Freedom.”

I’ll be sharing the FREE Forex Freedom course on the rapid forex blog along with more Forex Sailing examples in further blog posts as well as in the Hedge Report training.

Rapid Forex Hits the Road for World Tour

It’s 5:55 pm Hawaii time and my plane has just taken off…

I’m going to Kauai for a few days to finish recording Forex Sailing, then I’m off to explore the world!

My First Stop – Las Vegas

After a few days on Kauai, I’ll be first heading to Las Vegas to announce and launch an amazing new online forex trading program. Since Las Vegas is known for being the place to go to make it big, I thought it was a fitting first step out on my world tour to experience exchanging foreign currencies not only electronically, but also physically.

I’ll be in Las Vegas for a few weeks. I’m going to stay there as long as it’s fun. I have friends there and it’s an exciting place. I’m not going to be there for too long though…

Where Will I go next?

After Las Vegas, I’m going to go through some other US cities that I’ve either never been to, or have only visited briefly. This will be spontaneous & also depend on which rapid forex blog readers invite me to visit them…

(part of my motivation is to connect with you in real life)

After a few weeks/months touring the US, I’ll make my way to Europe. I’ve always wanted to go to Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain, Poland, and just about every European country. I’ll be visiting the financial exchanges as well, and spending Euros instead of dollars. After Europe I plan to see parts of Asia, Australia & South America.

The Forex Lifestyle

For years I’ve been telling people how easy it is to go wherever you want as a forex trader as long as you have 1.) a laptop and 2.) an Internet connection.

I’ll have both of these as I travel the world

Since my favorite method for trading forex online involves less than 10 minutes per day (unless I *want* to work harder), and since this blog only takes about 2 hours per day, I can just as easily run Rapid Forex from the road as I can from home.

I’m deciding to live the mobile forex trading life for as long as it remains fun. I was inspired by the book “The 4 Hour Work Week”, by Tim Ferris a few years ago but never actually “lived it.”  As of right now, I’m actually doing what I’ve always wanted to do.

How Long Will It Take?

I’m 30 years old & not in a hurry to get any older. I’ve got plenty of time & I’m going where I can enjoy being. If something major in the world happens, I just may show up to see what’s going on. There’s Mardi Gras, Octoberfest, Burning Man, Monterey Jazz, Running of the Bulls, and dozens of other cool events all over the world to see.

Will I Make It?

I’ve never traveled the world before like this. It’s an exciting adventure. After a few months, I could end up settling somewhere. I might not like it on the road -OR- I could decide to live this lifestyle for a long time!

Come Join Me

I’m not suggesting that you hit the road with me.

It’s a MAJOR life decision.

I will be sharing my experiences on the road on this blog as it relates to the Forex. I also have a personal blog that I’ll be sharing some non-forex trading travel stories.  While I may be traveling alone, I’ve got thousands of Forex Friends all over the world that read this blog.

Now is the time for us to start forging a real relationship. If you & I start posting comments back and forth on this blog, I could end up changing my travel plans to come hang out with you (don’t worry I’ll get my own room at a luxury hotel, unless you’ve got a pimped out spread & a desire to have me stay with you  ).

I’ll be continuing to share tons of increasingly cool forex trading stuff with you as I travel the world. I’ll also be sharing tips on how you can travel as a mobile forex trader yourself in the new “Forex Lifestyle” section of this blog.
