I am fallible, we are fallible and all have area for opportunities of improvement. I've found in my career that the most successful people are either part of a part of an active study group or have been in one in the past. These groups cultivated life long relationships.
The idea is to bring together a diverse group of people to help them grow both personally and professionally.
I believe during the weekend you should work on your business not in your business.
Why 90 minutes, the first 30min is a guest speaker... I'll source the Guest Speakers in the beginning.
The next 60 minutes is broken down in the basic format:
- 20 minutes -- Each member spends 3 minutes shares something positive going on in their life
- 30 minutes -- One group member presents on the session topic (provided in advance), a member will present for approx. 20 minutes, leaving 10 minutes for Q&A
- 5 minutes -- A quick win presentation -- One member will present on something that everyone should be able to take away and implement tomorrow into their business
- 5 minutes -- Wrap-up, takeaways and set the stage for the next meeting agenda
The question on the NDA -- they're some really successful traders who may want to join a study group because they've identified an area where they need help, but are very protective of their trading strategies and would otherwise be hesitant to join (for me I'm fine having a study group without a NDA)
In person meeting -- we've found over the years in-person meeting helps facilitate two major things, first its fosters and deepens person relationships, and its the time outside of the study group main session (beers on the patio) where some of the greatest takeaways are fostered
I'm open to Quarterly Meetings, rather than monthly meeting, and I'm fine without having an NDA in place
For visibility: This is one of 3 study groups I'm forming: Financial Futures / Forex Specific / Option Trading
