Question: “OK Louise, if you’re such a freaking saint, then why don’t you
give away your trading knowledge for free?”
All of these resources are the result of my 28 years of trading the
markets, 20 years of being a best-selling author, and genuine concern to see
that people get started trading effectively and safely. Every one of these
resources take time, money, knowledge and creativity to produce – yet… do you
hear me complain… well… not often.
Let me explain why we don’t give away everything for free.
People often don’t value what they receive for free. This means they
don’t implement, and they don’t respect advanced resources, unless they’ve had
to go through some sort of struggle to get to that resource. And, in this
society, the ‘struggle’ doesn’t involve wrestling a mother lioness to the
death… the ‘struggle’ means a financial price.
I used to give away hours & hours of personal training… for years and
years… for free. Know what happened to all of those efforts? The wind blew, and
the people I trained didn’t respect the lessons. They didn’t struggle. They
received passively. And, as a result, the salient lessons didn’t penetrate deep
into their unconscious and stick.
Money is a way of keeping score. I aim to cover my costs of running our
websites, producing the products that are my creative little gems that I adore
releasing into the world, and to pay for the licensing that is required for us
to continue giving you a free ride. All of that costs money, to the tune of far
more than the average wage – and even though I initially used my trading
profits for the first couple of years to give away information to the trading
community… I feel it works better when people pay for what they get.
Plus, frankly, I find money motivates me. And, if it doesn’t motivate
you, then why consider trading?
Sometimes you have to buy a book. Yes, a book. That may mean saving up
your cappuccino money & going into caffeine withdrawal for a few days… but
the rewards will be worth it.
