Lately, I have been working with traders to transition from floor trading to electronic trading. In fact, I have transitioned a bit myself by expanding my services to traders or people that need life direction, guidance or advice. During the first interview, I get to know the individual and then we collectively work out a viable program to transition from one's station in life to the next. Those who know me know that all I wanted to do in my life was be a football coach. Actually, I coached football at Evanston H.S. for under 6 months. The football coaching experience was outstanding because of my mentor Robert Trevarthen. Becoming a football coach just wasn't in the cards for me. Ones' life takes some interesting twists and turns as fate plays a hand in our existence. If one is interested, I am willing to share my path from a teacher and a coach to owner of a futures trading firm in Chicago.. There are many unexpected experiences in one's life that shape one's decision making and take him off course. Unexpected doors open and close all the time. A secret involves being aware and ready to change. Also, to simply change is one thing, but to change and desire to be successful, takes time.
