Real talk: want to rebuild that portfolio? You need cash coming in first.

Most traders skip this uncomfortable truth. They keep refreshing charts while their bank account bleeds out.

Here's what actually works:

Pick something you're decent at. Freelance gigs? Consulting calls? Managing communities? Content editing? Hell, spin up a small agency if you've got the hustle.

The point isn't building an empire overnight.

It's killing desperation.

Because desperate money makes stupid decisions. Always has, always will.

Once you've got steady income flowing in, suddenly you're not panic-selling at every 15% dip. You're not aping into sketchy projects because "this is my last shot."

You're actually trading with a clear head.

Cash flow isn't sexy. But it's the foundation everything else sits on.

Well, to be honest, this hits hard. How many people are watching Candlestick charts while eating dirt, then blaming the market for being unfair.

To be honest, how many people are left in utter loss because they have no stable income, staring at the Candlestick chart in despair every day? This is the real death loop.

Ah, this... I said it, I have also experienced the days of watching K-lines while eating dirt. Indeed, I need to get some stable income first.

ngl this is the truth, how many people just stick to charts and end up losing, you have to stabilize your life first so that trading doesn't become so driven by quick profits.

To be honest, this is the real reason why most people fail; without cash flow, don’t expect to turn things around. What really chokes you is not the technology, but that sense of despair. When you’re out of money, your vision is blinded, and you’ll dare to ape into any project.

To be honest, 95% of those who stare at the market every day are plagued by a poor mindset. This article is spot on; if you don't have cash flow, don't expect to trade clearly.

To be honest, I realized this a long time ago. It's just that I see a lot of people still watching the charts and losing money.
