I was born in Seoul, South Korea and immigrated to the States (Minneapolis, MN) when I was just about 8th grade (14 years old). In my early 20's, I started my submissive beginning as a janitor along side with my father working eight to ten hours every night. Physical work was definitely hard, but for me, it was even harder the fact that I was embarrassed about being a janitor.
I don't have the financial backgrounds, never worked for investment banks, nor did I have any mentors who could've guided me. I was attending University of Minnesota in Business Marketing major, but I had to drop out because we were going through an extremely challenging time financially (this was around 2009 "financial crisis"). Things got so bad, that my dad and I were going door-to-door asking around if they needed cleaning services for their offices.
I got interested in the stock market in 2009 during the financial crisis commotion. I've begun my research with ferocious determination to master this market. So, day and night; I've read, studied and scrutinized the market as I was fiercely determined that I wasn't going to live my life until I figure this out. I put my entire life on hold--partying, dating, friends, and possibly forming my own family. Finally, after, seven intense agonizing years, I was able to establish my own philosophy and strategies in the market. With my prodigiously strategic and systematic approach I've established, my journey began in the world of trading to climb that mountain of becoming the top trader in the world.
Over two decades later, since the 'cleaning out the toilets during the ice cold Minnesota-winter nights,' I am the sole owner of the fastest-growing office cleaning services company in Minneapolis, MN (My father & I turned our work into a business). But my true passion is trading full time, and I educate/instruct my members in my Traders Club. I have over a decade of trading-trackrecords and I beat top hedge fund managers, "experts" or online "gurus" every year.
Let others party, go out, chase girls and distract themselves with short-term pleasure. You must sacrifice everything so that you can be the top % in your field. I sacrificed 10 years of my life so that I could live my 2nd half of my life fully secured. Everyone already know what you know because of the internet; you cannot play by the same rules what everyone is playing. When you finally get to the top, you will be so glad that you've suffered and sacrificed. And then, you start to see that everyone around you (+social media) faked and pretended to be happy & successful but they weren't---it was all a lie--you finally see the truth.
