The doctor told us she only had 2 years to live.
My mom's cancer had already progressed to stage 4 by the time she was diagnosed.
It had already spread throughout her body, and while she had resolved to fight it and stay alive for as long as possible… There was little hope for her becoming cancer-free and making a full recovery.
That's how I learned just how precious time is.
My mother's time was running out, and my father was looking for ways to spend as much time with her as possible before she left.
But he spent most of his time running the family business.
He had spent years building that business into what it was, and still, it demanded most of his time.
Before my mother was diagnosed, it wasn't a problem. He just about whistled to work every day, excited to spend whatever amount of time was necessary for his business to thrive...
But now my mother's time was limited and my father decided he would rather spend his time with her, and the business was starting to feel more like a burden to him.
He felt like he didn't have the freedom to spend his time how he wanted.
If he wasn't with my mother he felt guilty for not being there for her, and when he wasn't working in the business he felt guilty for abandoning the company he built.
I watched him agonize over how he should spend his time each day.
He was in a lose-lose situation all because he didn't have the time-freedom he wanted.
Finally, I helped him out by buying the family business from him so he could retire early and be with my mom.
But before I bought the business I made up my mind to never put myself in the same kind of situation my father found himself in.
My time-freedom became my #1 priority.
So while I worked on the family business, I also started working on ways to have the time-freedom my father lacked…
I started trading.
The family business deals with oil, so I was used to tracking oil prices already. All I needed was a trading system to help start making profitable trades.
I spent years of my time… and thousands of dollars… trying out different systems and indicators until I found Hawkeye.
I was smitten with Hawkeye's indicators and volume-based methods that now play such a significant role in all aspects of my trading.
After purchasing Hawkeye's indicators, I made myself available to be at the soonest live training seminar in West Palm Beach.
I spent the weekend surrounded by like-minded traders like Nigel Hawkes and Randy Lindsey and learning about the software, its capabilities, and the Hawkeye trading methods.
I came home from that long weekend fired up and laser-focused on the opportunity I had before me.
My life was changed forever.
Now, I swing trade WTI Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures Contracts for a living with a well laid out and thorough trade plan following the system built around Hawkeye trading methods and indicators.
In 2019, I made $384,400.00 using my swing trade method. And this year I've made $444,600.00 so far - and the year is only halfway done!
Trading allows me to decide how much time I'm spending in front of the computer and gives me the TIME to live my life on my terms — unlike the way my father had to live his life.
I couldn't be more grateful for the life that I live.
And I hope I can help you achieve the same thing by sharing what I know with you in this newsletter.
