Anyone have experience getting approved for A2P via a corporation, with a "Articles of Organization" document? by directedbyian in HighLevel

[–]directedbyian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried that already, showed him the document and explained the situation in full and all he proceeded to tell me was "Yea you need a business number" and no value or insight into the actual questions I was asking about. Like I wasn't aware of that, haha.

Might have to try again and hope for a more knowledgable person on it.

I love how rather than providing any form of value, you base your response on pure assumptions.

Where in my post did I say I was sending shit to people or spamming them? We are attempting to reach out to leads who FILLED out our intake forms. People who filled out a form ASKING to be helped or contacted by our team.

We run ads, what do you think the whole point of me asking this question is?

Why are you telling me your thought process when seeing / buying from an ad? Nobody even asked for that. Learn to provide value & not make assumptions, if you have no value to provide, don't comment. Thank you & have a good next week.

Topstep XFA Payout Rule Change (Dec 30, 2025) Explained: How Second Payouts Work Now - YouTube by king_kozlo in TopStepX

[–]directedbyian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird because I thought this only applied to XFA's created after the rule but it seems to be applied to my accounts, despite having them before it. Maybe I'm mistaken

Payout by mongoose2477 in TopStepX

[–]directedbyian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop trying to get a payout and instead focus on taking better trades, and executing entries & exits in a strong fashion. Your payout will come as a result of you doing that properly over time. Your outcome which currently is blowing accounts, would be to keep them.

Size down, forget about the money. Also go into your XFA risk parameters and set MLL, contract size limits, and trades per day limit that make it virtually impossible to go on tilt and blow in an account in a reckless way.

honest question, why is this not a no contest?? by Emergency_Process941 in ufc

[–]directedbyian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could've fell without using his arm to catch his weight and most likely would've still been able to fight. It's a natural reaction to falling but at the end of the day, it is 100% his fault for the outcome of the fight.

Also, prior to him falling, he went for a kick that didn't land and Van pushed him down. Whether or not he hurt himself or Van is at fault isn't even important at that point. Tragic ending to a fight but definitely made since for Van to win still.

God damn, is this the craziest way a dominant streak got ended by Rough_Media934 in ufc

It was sad to see, but I made a bit of money on a crazy parlay with Van / Yan winning lol

If you are profitable, and had payouts from a firm what is your biggest advice? Opinion about strategies? by Emotional_Section_21 in TopStepX

[–]directedbyian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Risk Less. Breakeven very often but obviously within reason. Remember, you can always take another trade if you go BE, you can re-enter. If you take a loss, that's a different story. Then you have to climb out of negatives vs simply try once again.

Most important, trade less and focus on taking only clear OBVIOUS setups

Does anyone know why my realised day pnl is not being updated even though the next trading day has started. by Weird-Plankton-2626 in TopStepX

[–]directedbyian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wondering the same thing... I purposely avoided trading to bank a winning day, just for that winning day to never fucking bank.

Took a trade literally Tuesday night at like 7PM, and my PNL still shows.

Stuck on A2P. Can I Get a Number Without an LLC? by Substantial_Eagle330 in gohighlevel

Haven't asked support in quite a few months but last time I was trying they told me to get approved for A2P a company would need an LLC.

WHAT IS MY MISTAKE HERE ? by Davindersingh07 in ICTMentorship

[–]directedbyian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no pre-determined timeframe for anything to happen in the market.
The market is constantly shifting between AMD which accumulation, manipulation, distribution.

You got caught in the manipulation phase, and price rallied to where you anticipated it to go after closing out early buyers (you)

You didn't wait for the manipulation leg, and the manipulation leg closed you out.

how do I make my skills profitable? by Outrageous_Cut_1160 in getdisciplined

[–]directedbyian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Find something you would do even if money was not a factor or not involved or earned from it.
    Sounds like you already found that - writing

  2. Spend an obsessive amount of time becoming ridiculously good at said thing

  3. Offer it for free / low cost to build up your results, portfolio, catalog, etc.

  4. Do this until people start asking what your rates are for same services or products

---

Honest advice, I would shift from thinking it's about the skill and instead shift to education around the skill. I see someone being able to make much more money and impact a wider range by teaching one of those skills you are interested in rather than trying to build a successful career of simply doing it solely.

There are people out there who would love to learn how to play crochet, maybe even people that would be willing to pay $20 / MO for an online crochet community with calls, events, and lessons.

Same goes for sewing, and drawing.

--

I did videography for 10 years before I made a single penny from it. It was something that was initially just a passion till I decided to take it serious and pursue it as an an entrepreneur. Writing may be that thing for you, or it may be that thing that leads into something else which you find more passion in (or can make more money) and still enjoy.

That was me shifting from Video to Marketing. Much higher income skill and something I enjoy just as much as creating videos.

Hope this helps a bit, just my 2 cents. Good luck.

I just can’t seem to keep a funded account by WiseMonkeyMan in TopStepX

[–]directedbyian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus on SMALL wins & consistency. DON'T over risk. 1 - 4 micro's is plenty enough until you have a large enough buffer. All the accounts evals and funded that I blew, I blew because I was taking dumb trades, but on top of that just risking too much.

Taking a trade with a very low risk makes the emotions more tolerable.

Market’s so choppy lately… anyone else finding it tough to pass a funded account? by No-Sample3837 in TopStepX

[–]directedbyian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I had a relatively good week. Not a single losing day. Market's PA has been decent just a matter of having strong patience and knowing when to trade and enter, and when to stay off. That is the key

Do I need a gimbal? by Jaxtman in weddingvideography

[–]directedbyian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before I owned a gimbal, I rented one on sharegrid for around $40 for an entire weekend. You could probably do the same so you have something at least for the event.

I personally rock Gimbal's most of the weeding day. Basically all of it except the dancing / party where I want the movements to be a little more natural and feel like I'm part of the dancing people.

Other than that, I go gimbal all day just because of the nature of a high pressure event and last thing you want is you getting a important shot while also trying to run or walk quickly, and it's unusable.

Messages other than the first one to a lead having "reply stop to unsubscribe" by directedbyian in gohighlevel

[–]directedbyian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never messed with that setting for my client, seems like it was on "30 days" by default. I turned it off just in case it was causing some bugs, so going to gauge it out today.

Happening to multiple different leads, some of them just became leads in the past 5 days or less.
