Hey Brother,

In poker, they say “Don’t get married to your hand.”

In trading, it's “Don’t get married to your position.”

The same idea applies to dating: being too eager for marriage and commitment can lead to similar results.

When you invest too much in the beginning, you constantly worry about your progress.

If things go well, you might feel overly confident but get anxious if it starts to go downhill, often ending things too soon.

If things go poorly, you might feel relieved if it eventually gets better, even if you're still not in a good place, possibly making things worse by investing more time and effort than you should.

Sometimes, you might get lucky and win despite misunderstanding the situation.

However, when there's a lot of activity or uncertainty, you might mistake luck for skill instead of seeing it as random chance.

Usually, though, you'll end up losing money because of the emotions from over-investing without a clear plan.

In the long run, this can leave you broke.

With experience and a good history, you can better decide how much to invest initially or over time.

In relationships, start with little investment with regards to your emotional bank and assess along the way how things are going.

Your initial effort isn't what will make you successful; it's how the girl responds.

Let her invest in you—it’s like her "making you the money."

Apply this approach in all your interactions.

The best successes aren't about the amount; they’re about the percentage return.

Over time, as you accumulate small wins, you'll find yourself in a great situation without even trying too hard.

Avoid risking or burning yourself out.

Play it smart and hedge your bets.

You'll be happy you did.

Until next time
