Don’t think you’re the one struggling to find resources. Flip it—resources are finding you, and they’re working harder for it.

Capital’s urgency to find a capable trader outweighs the trader’s urgency to find capital. A trader can wait — if he can’t find funding, he can use his own capital and move slowly. There’s nothing wrong with that. But capital can’t wait. Every moment spent waiting for the right talent is a massive drag. Money naturally flows to those who make it grow, toward those with faster growth rates.

So what does capital look for in a trader? Simply his track record. You don’t need to be perfect, but you do need to have something worth digging into. Investors across every industry are desperately searching for people with that kind of potential.
