Set Your KPIs Based on Stable-Period Earnings

When you’re just a farmer, fine—maybe you’ll come across a rabbit lying on its side on the road. Pick it up if you want; don’t bother if you don’t. You’ve got no quota to hit, and you’re not especially stingy about the opportunity cost of your capital.
But folks who make a living off investing? They’re hunters. For a hunter, “just didn’t happen to find one” isn’t a credible excuse. No kill means empty belly; go weeks without a hit and you starve.
So from the hunter’s vantage, the rabbit *will* fall—that’s the deal. You might miss a day, sure, but over a month or so you know roughly how many you’ll bag. Same kind of math as farming, only with bigger stakes.
Prey is their livelihood, so profit isn’t optional—it’s mandatory. Capital carries a time value, a cost of waiting. That means not just making money, but making it fast, making it reliable. One successful trade is followed by the next, round after round; after this rabbit, you move to the next.
That’s what pure, eat-by-investing looks like.
