CFA study feels like learning to swim—at first you flail, but with trust, repetition, and support, you learn to float.

Your thoughts during CFA prep can lie. Don’t believe every doubt. Learn to challenge the illusions and trust your progress.

CFA prep can be isolating—but the loneliness can shape your focus, clarity, and relationships for the rest of your career.

Focus isn’t about gritting your teeth—it’s about curiosity, presence, and showing up with purpose, even for yield curves.

Bursts burn out. Rhythm compounds. Here’s why daily consistency beats heroic study sessions for CFA exam success.

Bad days don’t break your CFA prep—quitting does. Learn how to keep moving forward when things feel off.

The hardest part of the CFA exam isn’t the material — it’s mastering yourself.

Motivation fades. Success in your CFA exams depends on strategic design, disciplined habits, and powerful environments.

Procrastination doesn’t just waste time—it drains momentum, weakens confidence, and sabotages CFA prep.

Relearning guitar at 40 reminded me what CFA candidates feel—uncertain, exposed, and learning one awkward note at a time.
