In this episode, Chad Muncy interviews Daniel Markiewicz from Dublin, Ireland. Daniel owns and runs McLovins Trading, a company that specializes in trading currency on financial markets. He started this business to simplify the study of FOREX and assist others in learning how to properly begin trading with FOREX.
Daniel's success came after many struggles both physically and mentally. His journey started in Poland as a child in a very low-income household. Throughout his older years as a teenager, Daniel began using drugs and eventually became overwhelmingly addicted to heroin. After many close calls, Daniel was arrested for continued substance abuse and went to prison. Serving his 14 months in prison, Daniel lost all contact with friends, most of whom turned their back on him. He also lost a lot of time with his family and felt like he missed out on many precious moments that he couldn't get back. At one point he remembers looking in the mirror every day and crying, wondering if life was over.
Remembering that he was in control, Daniel began reading every day, taking courses throughout the week, and focusing on improving everything about himself. This continued "self-improvement" began to transform his mind and make an impact on his attitude toward everything that he wanted to become. He made the decision that he would no longer be the sad victim of poor choices, instead, he would take control and tell his life where he wanted to go.
After Daniel was released from prison, he decided to leave everything in his "old" life behind or "burn all his bridges" as he calls it. He asked his mother to buy him an airline ticket to Ireland so that he could start a fresh life with his family (his aunt) who lived there...he had dreams of building a business. He packed the few things he had and flew to Ireland with no money. As he started looking for work, he found a few odd jobs that kept him afloat until a friend introduced him to something called FOREX. This seemed like an interesting opportunity, so Daniel began to learn and read all he could on the subject.
Saving up money was difficult but Daniel wanted to save as much money as possible so that when he was ready, he could begin trading on the FOREX (Foreign Exchange) market.
After relentless months of study and constantly trying to trade but losing money, he eventually "cracked the code" and found a unique experiential algorithm that he began getting very good at which gave him close to 95% accuracy in predicting the movement in prices.
Daniel shared his story and much more inspiration from his experience.
