Chasing that $2M milestone hits different. But here's the thing—once you're there, the real test starts. Easy money makes people sloppy. You wake up with serious gains and suddenly think every move is genius, every shortcut is justified.

That's when you lose it all.

The grind doesn't stop at your target number. In fact, it gets harder. More to protect, more to lose, more noise trying to distract you. The market doesn't care about your portfolio size—it punishes careless thinking the same way regardless.

Stay disciplined. Don't let success scramble your judgment. The biggest fortunes get wiped out not by bad entries, but by complacency. Keep your head clear and your strategy sharper. That's how you actually keep what you earn.
