Righteous Hangs, Making Money and Being Creative (on purpose)

Guardian Academy I knowledge.guardianacademy.io

Future Guardian,

Happy Monday!

Here’s another newsletter with… well, some news. It also contains some updates and invites. If you enjoy it, please share it with someone else that might also enjoy it. Live to learn. Give to earn.

What’s this one about?

• An invite to a righteous hang later this week.

• A look at how Guardians and TGA readers are applying what they learn, adding their own unique skills to the mix and helping more people than we could ever dream of doing on our own. (And we hope you decide to join them in your own way).

A Righteous Hang

Mindset Mary is one of our favorite Guardians because she is always, and I mean ALWAYS looking to help everyone else in the community. A couple days ago she posted the question above in the unofficial facebook group.

And we love it.

Any time someone in the community shows initiatives to do something for themselves or the community, we do everything we can to support or facilitate it. This definitely qualifies.

So… what do you say…

Community hang?

We’re going to let Mary hash out the details and then, on Friday morning, TGA+ members and Arena members will get a link to join the fun. We will be there as participants, but the community members kicking ass out there are the stars of the show. Hint: that’s you - so I hope to see you there.

This is not an Arena session, it’s just a good ol fashioned get together for likeminded people led by one of the great leaders within the community.

Living To Learn And Giving To Earn

Below are two examples of Guardians that 1. Applied TGA principles to help them get to where they want to be and then 2. Turned around and build system to help others do the same.

Below you’ll see how Vivica learned how to make money consistently by trading and then applying the same principles to multiple different assets and asset classes. You’ll also see how Scott has made a living helping others fulfill their purpose and build businesses as creatives.

If it’s helpful to see examples like this, please let me know and we will make it a regular column.

All In A Day’s Pay

All In A Day's Pay

by Guardian Vivica Valle is another great example of principles applied to her unique situation. Vivica combined her unique strengths (spreadsheets, data and an analytical mind) with Guardian Academy principle while trading crypto.

She did well in Crypto but as the market volume died down, the opportunities became less abundant, so she took the same principles and applied them to things like gold and options.

And guess what?

It works.

I mean, it works really, really well. And, as volume comes back to crypto, it will probably work even better than before after being refined in a more competitive space.

Het strategy has elements of the barbell, raising the floor and more. Here are some examples to learn from.

Note: you can learn about what she is teaching - it’s great stuff if you’re interested in trading - and you can learn on a meta level by paying attention to how she took principles from one domain and applied them to another.

• RAISING THE FLOOR: Quarter Million in Earned Trader Funding

  • TGA principle: Raising the Floor¹

• Slow is SMOOTH. Smooth is FAST.

  • TGA principle: Frequency, Intensity, Purpose²

Creative On Purpose

Creative on Purpose

by Guardian Scott Perry amalgamates TGA principles with Stoicism and Scott’s life experience as an artist, entrepreneur, teacher and coach.

Here are some examples to learn from.

Note: you can learn about what he is teaching - it’s great stuff if you’re interested in trading - and you can learn on a meta level by paying attention to how he took principles from one domain and applied them to another.

• Entering The Arena and Engaging The Field with Nic Peterson

  • TGA principle: Engaging The Field³

• Seneca’s Barbell Strategy

  • TGA principle: The Barbell⁴

30 Days, 30 Principles That Built A 7-Figure Business

Guardian Laurel Portie is widely regarded at the queen of Advertising. And for good reason. She recently launched a new series called: “ 30 Days, 30 Principles that Built my 7-figure Business.

The Takeaway

First, if one of the Guardians above resonates with you, give them a follow.

If not, that’s okay. That’s part of the lesson - principles can be applied many different ways in many different domains. They are underlying patterns, and the more often you can recognize them in the wild, the better you will get at using them in situations you are unfamiliar with.

When Vivica applies the principles to her domain (trading), it leads to strategies, tactics and tools relevant and useful to the people participating in her domain.

When Scott applies the principles to his domain (trading), it leads to strategies, tactics and tools relevant and useful to the people participating in his domain.

When Laurel applies the principles to her domain (trading), it leads to strategies, tactics and tools relevant and useful to the people participating in her domain.

They are each creating distinction by engaging the field in their domain or industry and helping more people in that particular field than they would be if they just sent them to this publication or repeated what we say.

I encourage you, future Guardian, to engage the field and create new strategies, tactics and tools to share with your people.

They’ll thank you for it (and we’ll support you in it).

See you Friday?

Live to learn. Give to earn.

Nic & The Guardian Academy.

PS. For those wondering about trading, crypto, finance etc we are layering our financial stuff back on top of the principles in this publication. We will have team posts about long term investment strategies and crypto strategies and will be looking for guest authors for short term day trading and flipping strategies. Drop a comment if you’re interested in contributing.
