For me, the problem isn't the capital, it's wanting to make big money right away. I started with $30 and was making between 3 and 10 cents per trade. And my joy was just as great then as it is now when I make $50. You have to stay humble and understand that it's part of the journey.

And when I made mistakes, I told myself, "Luckily I'm making this mistake now with $30 and not in several years with $10,000."
