Some common behaviors and practices by top performing individuals in any discipline, field or area of success often include meditation, journaling, self-reflection, and solitude. If we just run through life or by extension investing opportunities then we may sometimes miss obvious things around us.

Taken as a whole, these three things can instigate profound repercussions on your trading performance, as well as yielding a large impact on the financial results of your investment.

1. Programming yourself for success: It is important to make sure you have the right strategy and as a trader you make constant and planned results, whereby limiting your risk to base on your personal fit.

However, you can end up profiting with $100,000 just as your neighbor can with $600,000 invested with even less risk in some cases.

3. If you take time to reflect and change your perception, you can make your money work harder for you than you work for your money.
