It's moments like these that can be the making or breaking of an operation, I know I'm only a couple of buyins down, but after being almost four up during the same session, I was really feeling it. Then I remember my goals and that I'm still well ahead of them at the moment, I also remember that conquering the negative feelings when I have a bashing like that is the key to the success of the OP. That makes me feel a little better.

I decided to take a look around the net today to see what I can find to bring me back into the zone. The first thing I stumbled across was the now well known zero-to-hero challenge that Chris Ferguson took on a couple of years ago. What I hadn't noticed until just now is just how much patience he showed in the early months, and just how much he was rewarded for it with a soaring progress from about $600 to 10k in one month towards the back end of it. Well OK he is Chris Ferguson, but I couldn't have asked for a better reminder of the need for consistency and patience in the early stages of bankroll development.
