Ep 74: Rick Carson on Taming Your Gremlin for Traders

Are inner gremlins holding you back from realizing your true potential as a trader? Don’t miss this interview with famed author Rick Carson about taming your inner gremlin!

Just about everyone has beliefs about themselves. But where do they come from? Are they based on fact, or are they really just your “inner gremlin” telling you lies that are holding you back from realizing your full potential?

According to Rick Carson, author of “Taming Your Gremlin,” any belief you have about yourself is just an opinion that you develop loyalty to. It’s important to get a sliver of light between who you are and all those ideas about who you are — otherwise they could be holding you back. 

In this interview with The Wall Street Coach Podcast host Kim Ann Curtin, Rick Carson helps shed light on the “monster of the mind” that uses negative past experiences and self-doubt to limit and keep you from reaching your full potential.
