Jason worked at wealth management investment banks including JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs before getting into Trading.

The common denominator between success and failure is mindset.
It doesn’t matter what wealth vehicle you want to employ (e.g. stocks, property, trading, cryptocurrency, network marketing, etc), if you want financial freedom, you must be willing to sacrifice.
If you want to obtain more, you first must become more.
The type of trading Jason focuses on is Forex; the largest financial market in the world, generating well over 6 trillion dollars a day.
Tip: Become your own boss and learn how to manage your own time and expectations. Apply pressure to yourself to press forward.
Trading is not a get rich quick scheme, it takes time to build the skill.
Business is all about adding value to peoples’ lives or needs.
