Most people think their income will always be there. It won't.

One thing baseball teaches you quickly: you don't get paid forever. They'll fire you after a month of bad performance — trust me. You get paid while you can perform. And for most guys, the only real payday is the day you sign that contract.

Your peak earning years are limited.

Most people treat their income like it'll last forever. Do yourself a favor — maximize your earning window. And make sure your money keeps working long after you stop.

The biggest advantage in baseball isn’t talent. It’s development.

Great teams don’t rely only on big free agent signings. They build through their farm system. I know nobody wants to hear it, but the LA Dodgers develop talent as well as anybody in the game.

Your finances work the same way. The earlier you start investing, the more time your money has to develop.

You don’t need a $414 million dollar payroll; you just need to get in the game.

The worst thing you can do in a slump… is panic.

Every baseball player goes through one.

We used to joke about the cycle some of the best hitters in the world would fall into:

Slump begins → change everything → slump gets worse → change nothing → next game… 3-for-4 with a homer.

Less is more. One of life’s best paradoxes.

The same thing happens with investing.

Markets drop → people panic → they abandon the plan.

But success isn’t about avoiding slumps.
It’s about how you respond to them.

The best players—and the best investors—
stay disciplined and trust the process.

I can remember plenty of times I thought a slump was the end of the world.

It never was.

Ever been there?

“Can’t get too high, can’t get too low.”

A phrase that I have drilled into my brain from my baseball career, that I think ring even truer in the financial world.

Already in 2026, the Dow Jones has hit 50,000 for the first time in its history. 22 days later, the US launched airstrikes on Iran.

“After hitting the 50,000 milestone, how quickly can the Dow reach 100,000?” - February 6th

“How badly has the Iran war hit the global economy? The tell-tale signs” - March 16th

Headlines regarding financial markets aren’t taking the advice that I heard for years.

In the game of baseball, it’s easy to feel like the sky is falling. Let me tell you, I’ve had enough bad games at the yard. It’s just as easy to feel like you’re the king of the world after six scoreless innings. It’s easy to lose that consistent discipline.

A few headlines from the 2025 MLB season about Chicago Cubs standout centerfielder, Pete Crow-Armstrong, made me chuckle. Baseball writers are notorious for getting too high and too low.

“Thunder and lightning: PCA becomes fastest Cubs player to reach 25-25 mark” - July 10th

“Cubs Superstar on Pace for Massive Bonus With Stellar Production” - July 12th

One month later…

“What's Broken in Pete Crow-Armstrong's Swing, and How to Fix It” - August 13th

“Pete Crow-Armstrong is Constantly Jamming Himself, and the Solution Probably Lies Beyond 2025” -September 3rd

Just a thought from my perspective. Consistent Discipline.
