Dion Pouncil – More knowledge is the true path to achieving your goals

Is there a shortcut to achieving your goals? Absolutely not. But there is a way to shorten the timeline. Hard work and discipline are important traits but the trait that will get you there the fastest is knowledge. My next guest has two key businesses. One of which is a hedge fund where he generates around 20% per year for his clients. The other is an educational platform that empowers people to trade on their own. Yes, I said “trade” not “invest”. He has developed a system that helps traders reduce risk and generate positive returns which is impressive as most traders lose Money. In this episode we talk about trading vs investing however, we do spend a lot of time talking about mindset. The way we think and the expectations we set will define our future and most people don’t set big enough goals. If you’re an investor or entrepreneur, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Please welcome Dion Pouncil
