Archery is one of my favorite hobbies.
I’ve been into it my entire life. In fact, my parents got me my first bow when I was about 5.
When I first started, my 5-year-old arms could barely notch an arrow correctly.
I didn’t understand the proper technique or have the strength to really pull the arrow back.
But I practiced regularly.
Over time, I mastered the technique. Every arrow I shot, I got a hair better at it.
I’m no Hawkeye (the Avenger), but I like to think I’m a pretty good shot with a bow now.
All that hard work feels worth it now that I can actually hit a target at a decent distance with some accuracy.
Now, let’s imagine that instead, I could hit a bullseye at 100 meters my first day holding a bow.
Sure, that would feel cool…
For about 5 minutes.
But I would never have pursued one of my favorite hobbies after that.
I mean, what would be the point if I’m already a crack shot with the bow?
Here’s why I’m telling you this:
Ambitious individuals like you and I have this inner drive to achieve things as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Especially when it comes to money and business.
We don’t want to put in the time over many months and years to make things happen…
We want them NOW.
And that would be helpful, in theory.
If your goal was to make $10,000,000 and someone dropped $10,000,000 into your lap right now, you’d be set for life.
But hitting your goals too fast can actually do more harm than good.
See, a goal is but one moment in time. It isn’t permanent.
It feels good to reach your goal for a little bit because you achieved what you set out to achieve…
But it quickly fades.
Getting that $10,000,000 out of nowhere feels great, but now, what’s left to work toward? What’s left to accomplish?
“Well, non-monetary things! Maybe a new hobby!” you say.
Exactly, and that brings me to my point:
True fulfillment comes from the journey, not the destination.
You know, the struggle.
Busting your tail for every inch of progress.
Watching yourself improve ever-so-slightly.
Building something with your bare hands.
If you instead go the fast route — like winning the lottery — you miss out on all the learning along the way.
You won’t have that journey to look back on and draw wisdom and strength from.
You won’t respect and understand the work it takes to achieve something difficult.
You might even find yourself wishing that the journey had taken longer.
Personally, I’m thankful for the stress and hard times I went through to get to where I am as a trader.
Without experiencing the journey, I wouldn’t have learned the markets.
Which means I wouldn’t have forged a winning strategy that can potentially bring traders big profits.
Which means there’d be no Big Energy Profits.
I wouldn’t be able to help so many other people make money and achieve financial security through trading.

It’ll make the journey easier, but it isn’t a quick path to wealth.
That said, you’ll learn to love the process.
