Summary: In Episode 556 of The Traders Podcast, your hosts Rob Booker and the producer Jason Pyles discuss how success often comes from setting a goal to do the right things consistently (as opposed to just setting a goal to accomplish some great thing). Rob also talks about having a specific trick or “scheme” that is your job that you do consistently. And we discuss the approach of sticking to what you’re best at and exploring it further by looking deeper inside rather than branching out and experimenting with new and unfamiliar methods.

Full transcript of this episode: Rob Booker: Welcome back, Mr. Pyles. Jason Pyles: Thanks, Rob. It's good to be back. Rob Booker: When we left our dear listeners, we were talking about the fact that sometimes success comes from setting a goal to do the right things consistently instead of setting a goal to accomplish some big thing. Success in my life has been a mix of those two things and then just pure luck at times. I want to talk today about if someone were to choose the path of success by doing the right things ... We're, of course, specifically talking about trading in the end. But generally speaking, let's just talk about success in general. If it's about podcasting because you started podcasting before anybody else that I know ... Well, we kind of started together before anybody else that I know. Jason Pyles: Yes, we did. Rob Booker: We've continued through the years. You only continue if you're getting some measure of success. What are some of the things that a podcaster does that they have to do consistently well or at least they have to do it consistently in order to succeed? Jason Pyles: I would say release episodes. You have to actually record the episodes and continue to release them. That's one thing. I think for me it's been ... You have to have this interest in the topic itself. I genuinely love the topic. If you love it enough, usually you can continue talking about it. There have been podcasts, Rob, that I dropped pretty quickly that I realized I did not have a love like that one really stupid NBC survival show. What was that called? That was awful. Revolution or something like that. Rob Booker: Yeah, right. Jason Pyles: We went 10 episodes on that. We're like, Yeah, that's enough of this. Rob Booker: Oh, gosh. All right. You have to release content on schedule. You have to have a purpose, meaning I think probably podcasting about everything is not as effective as podcasting about something. Jason Pyles: Agreed. Rob Booker: All right. Let's apply that to traders. It can almost be as simple as that. Maybe it can be as simple as that. You need to sit down at the computer at the same time everyday or you need to run a robot that's going to run all the time. Then you need to have a specific purpose, or a specific technique, or a specific trick, or a specific method.
