We recently connected with Philip Branch and have shared our conversation below.

Philip, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. We’d love to hear about a risk you’ve taken.

The biggest risk I have ever taken in life was betting on myself. I chose to stop working for other entities, or as some call a “9-5”, and build a niche for myself. I remember the last corporate job I had working for Sprint (Now T-Mobile), and the way I left. I admit, it was a bit unprofessional how I left, but it was in order to put myself in a position that I cannot look back and have to follow my dreams. It was after a team meeting where I walked up to my manager at the time and I told him “This would be my last day”. At first he had a bit of a smirk on his face as if I was joking, so I had to reiterate my position. When he could see that I was not joking the conversation became a bit more serious. He started to the detriment of the route I was taking in doing this & mentioned that if I didn’t put in a “two weeks notice” that it would be hurtful to me trying to find a job in the future. I turned, looked him dead in his eyes, put my hand on his should and said “No, you’re not understanding … I’m not working for anyone else ever again”. The look on his face was one as if he had seen a ghost. As if he could not understand the confidence I had walking AWAY from a job. I wished him all the best in all his future endeavors, said goodbye to everyone and walked out the door and never looked back. I never felt more free & motivated to succeed than in that moment.

Philip, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

How I got into my industry was actually happenstance. I was not looking for forex, per say, I actually just came across it through a friend. At the time I had just moved to Los Angeles, California and I was searching for ways to build financially in the areas I was already working in. I tried a few different avenues but I was not getting the results I had hoped. One day I hopped on social media and I saw a friend of mine make a post about how he had just made a nice amount of money in a short amount of time. I reached out to inquire about what he was doing and how to go about it. He informed me that he was now into forex and it was going great for him. I asked him if he could teach me the field, but he declined due to the financial risks involved and did not want it to affect our friendship. I understood where he was coming from, appreciated his honesty, and started my own path on trying to figure out how to become a foreign currency trader. To make a long story short, after searching out a few different avenues, I found a guy a few hours outside of Los Angeles who was willing to give me guidance on how to become a trader. So I drove out to Temecula, California, received my lessons & that is how my trading journey began.

On top of being a trader, I am also now an educator in the field. I have been educating & mentoring individuals who have been looking to make a change in their lives financially, or at the very least, have a little extra money in their pocket for a rainy day. I provide everything from 15 to 30 day mentorships, full video education packages, as well as, trading signals & live call groups. In our field we also have what are called proprietary firms in which companies will spot you large amounts of capital to trade with as long as you pass their trading challenges. I complete those for clients as well. What problems do I solve for clients? Money. lol. And I also help them see that their are different ways of acquiring wealth that what most have been taught.

What sets me apart from others is the fact that I truly make trading simple. I come from a background where I understand that the over complication of information can quickly steer individuals away from the very thing that could change their lives. So I’ve taken the route that has simplified trading to the point that even a high school student or a freshman in college can understand. I, at one time, nicknamed myself “Trading For Dummies” (inspired by the educational book line) because I wanted people to know that I will make these lessons as easy to understand as possible.

The things I am most proud of in my line of work is being able to bring my family into the field as I have mentored different family members on how to become traders. Family success is always good to see. I am also proud of teaching and mentoring over 1,000 students over the past 4 years through mentorship & a trading education company that me and a few friends put together. When I see the lives changing of people I have taught, it confirms to me that I made the right decision in choosing this field of work.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

One lesson that I learned growing up that I had to unlearn in order to be successful in this field of work is “The harder you work, the more money you will make”. First let me say, in the normal working world, this statement would absolutely be true. The more work you put in, the more time you put in, the more money you will make. Interestingly enough, in this line of work it is actually the opposite. The more trading that you do, the more money you actually lose. The most successful traders are the ones doing the least amount of trading & spending as little amount of time in the trading markets as they possibly can. Every time you take a trade you are risking your capital. With this being the case, your goal should be to be as disciplined as possible and only take high probability trades and not every trade you see. So unlearning my natural nature of continuing to work, and work and work under the guise that it would actually make more money for me would be the biggest change I had to make.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

I believe what helped build my brand in the forex trading field is honesty and results. First things first, I do not lie to my clients and make them believe that they have stumbled upon the “Get Rich Quick” pot of gold. I help them understand the timeline they should be looking at to see real success in the field, as well as, what is actually needed to get there.

What also helped me grow in the field are numerous successful client stories which can show actual progression and profits made. Having plenty of former students who are seeing success, and able to speak to it, has helped my business grow immensely.
