The world of crypto can be overwhelming, intimidating, and – let’s be honest – icky. Because there’s so much money pouring in, 90% of the space is scams. There are scam coins, scam companies, scam coaching, and lots of scammy people in general.
You don’t want to be part of that world. I totally get it! I didn’t want to be either. BUT I wanted to quit my career, pay off my student debt and spend time with my family and friends. I know one day I want to be able to spend all day with my kids and be there whenever they need me.
If this sounds like you, I want to reassure you that you can absolutely quit your job and make 6 figures with crypto. AND I’ll show you how to do that while gracefully ignoring the scammy crypto world. Just don’t miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime because of all that gross crypto culture.
I first started in crypto in 2016 and I QUIT after a few months because I got scammed and liquidated back to back. I soon realized the mistake I had made, buckled down, and actually applied the rules I had learned about trading stocks. I made 10x on my money in just 3 months.
If you’re wondering why I decided to coach people in crypto, although making money is amazing, it just doesn’t give you purpose. During medical school, I realized being a doctor was just not the life for me. My very strong internal drive to help people, however, did not just go away. For me, helping others gives my life meaning and I really want to help you live the life of your dreams!
My favourite part of coaching is mentoring people long-term. This may or may not be what you’re looking for but it’s definitely my favourite part. That being said, I want to help you get started the right way however I can. My goal is to give you the confidence to know that you can succeed in this space AND to make sure you avoid all the stupid mistakes I made so you don’t get scammed, liquidated, bleed your account dry, etc.
If you want a 1-on-1 coaching call over Zoom with me showing you how to get started in crypto without:
- getting scammed
- anxiety about losing your money
- pulling your hair out in frustration,
… then I am SO excited to meet you soon.
To put it into perspective, it took me 5 years to go from knowing nothing to making 6 figures with crypto, and 4.5 of those years were spent on and off just learning the basics that you’ll learn in this call. In fact, the reason I was scammed in 2016 and then quit is that I got so overwhelmed with just getting started, I tried to pay a company to do it for me and lost all my money (oops…). So, obviously don’t do that! Instead, let me give you the knowledge so you can get over that anxiety and do it yourself!
Ready To Become A Badass Crypto Goddess & Make 6 Figures? Just Follow These Steps!
Step 1. Set Up Your Accounts
You’ll need the following accounts to day trade on leverage:
⇒ An account that allows you to convert your local currency into and out of crypto.
In Canada, I like to use Shakepay or Newton.
In the US, you can use Coinbase. Pretty much anywhere allows you to use Crypto.com.
That being said, if you do a little bit of digging in your region, you might find something better for your region.
Criteria that you want to evaluate:
- Ease of use
- Customer support
- Timeliness of transactions (how long does it take to buy crypto using your local currency and how long does it take to transfer crypto back into your local currency)
- Fees (the lower the better)
- The flexibility of coins (can you buy any coin or just BTC? Ideally you can buy BTC, ETH, and some sort of stable coin like USDT at the very least)
⇒ A simulator that allows you to practice with ZERO risks
My favourites are either Bybit or Phemex.
Simulated trading with Phemex prioritizes the user experience by providing a basic User Interface that allows for a smooth and simplistic simulator without sacrificing any trading functionalities.
It provides a diverse set of tools for traders of all experience levels on a user-friendly platform.
Bybit designed its website from the ground up with a focus on a technicality to allow for continuous improvement in the world of crypto trading. This focus on efficiency has resulted in a platform that is both quick and secure, with multiple systems in place to guarantee stability in trading in a simulator.
Criteria that you want to evaluate:
- Beginner-friendly
- Actual trading platform (NOT paper trading, you want to actually be trading with others who are also in a sim with you)
- At least 3-4 tradable coin pairs at any given time (if no one is using the simulator, the trading volume will be too low to actually trade – you can tell if this is the case when the chart looks weird and the candles aren’t printing properly)
⇒ A leverage trading platform
My favourite is Binance BUT I know that Binance is restricted in a lot of different regions. So my current top recommendation is Bybit and my 2nd favourite is Phemex. You can also use Bitmex, Margex, PrimeXBT, and others.
Criteria that you want to evaluate:
- Reasonable fee structure (MAX 0.075% taker fee and MAX 0.01% maker fee)
- Good coin selection (the more coin pairs the better)
- Drag & drop orders on the chart
- 5x leverage
- Good liquidity and trading volume (at least 3-4 coin pairs at any given time with over 100M in 24 turnovers)

Here’s a video showing you how to set everything up step-by-step in case you get stuck:
OPTIONAL: A staking platform
My favourite staking platform is AQRU. You can also stake on Crypto.Com, Binance, Phemex, Bybit & others. AQRU offers 12% APY on stable coins, and 7% APY on BTC & ETH with no maximum capital cap and no fixed terms which means you can withdraw whenever you want.
Step 2. Wait for Verification
The time it takes to be verified will vary depending on the platform. Usually, you’ll get verified immediately but sometimes it can take a few hours. It shouldn’t take any longer than 2 days. Sometimes Newton can be a pain. If they take too long to verify you, go to their Reddit support thread and message them there as they never reply to customer support e-mails and you’ll wait weeks.
Step 3. (***OPTIONAL – This is ONLY if you want to learn how to buy & transfer crypto for the 1st time***) Have $300 Ready In A Chequing Account & Call Your Bank
To be realistic, you probably don’t want to start with real money for a while. It’s much safer to start practicing in the simulator FIRST and then transition to real money after several months of perfecting your strategy and ability to manage risk.
That being said, it can be technically confusing to buy and transfer crypto to your leverage trading platform for the first time. So if you’re worried about this, feel free to have $300 ready in your account so I can help you through the steps.
I chose $300 because there are minimum transfer limits for certain platforms and I want to make sure that we don’t get hung up on those during our call. By the end of the call, that will be your first $300 invested into crypto!
I would also recommend that you call your bank in advance and just let them know that you will be buying some crypto because a lot of credit and even debit cards will have blocks on them for crypto purchases. If you don’t have $300, don’t worry – I’ve been there! We’ll do our best with whatever you can spare at the moment. Even if you have $0, I will still walk you through step-by-step what to do if you did have money.
Step 4. Start Learning!
I have different educational options depending on how quickly you’d like to learn and how much of an investment you’re comfortable with.
Of course, the more you’re able to invest in your day trading education, the faster you’ll hit your goals. That being said, you can learn a LOT of this yourself if you’re willing to dedicate the time and energy. Instead of a full-time income in 6-12 months, it will probably take you 1-2 years. I know that seems like a really long time BUT that’s because you’re striving to reach a professional level of trading. That is a legitimate, lifelong skill and it will not happen overnight.
Below is a breakdown of the 4 learning paths you can take:
» 1:1 2-Hour Coaching Calls As Needed
This is probably my most popular option. You can book 2 hr calls as you need while you’re practicing on your own. If you want to do this full-time, I recommend setting aside 10-12 hours per week to practice. Feel free to email me at any time while you’re practicing on your own between calls for feedback, direction, and questions that need answering.
- For the basic strategy, you’ll need 1 call. For an advanced strategy, you’ll need 3-5 calls. Typically to get to the point when you can transition to full-time (starting as a beginner), you’ll likely need ~10 calls total over the course of 1-2 years.

» Private Longitudinal Mentorship
This is my second most popular option. As I’m typing this in March 2022, there is a waitlist of about 1 year for this program. This is also my favourite way to teach because I get to work SUPER closely with you until you hit your goals.
- The day trading program is 6 months with the option to extend it to 12 months if you’d like to cover swinging, staking/passive income, and portfolio management.
- If you’re interested in this program, you’ll need to have capital ready to invest into your day trading account and you’ll need at the very least 12 hours per week to practice.
- The purpose of this program is to accelerate your learning and allow you to replace your income and quit your current job in less than 1 year.
- To book a free, no-obligation 30-minute mentorship call to see if we’d be a good fit to work together, click the “Get Started Now!”
» Entry Level Group Classes
Every second Monday evening EST, I host live entry-level leveraged day trading classes. This is a great opportunity to dip your toe into the world of crypto day trading and see if it’s right for you.
- Please come to class with your simulator set up and ready to go so you can follow along (or I might choose you to be my lucky volunteer for the session!)
- To get access to the LiveLink schedule, click the “Get Started Now!” button at the bottom of the page.
» Telegram Channel
Last but not least, I have a very tight-knit Telegram channel where I post constantly about strategy, the markets, day trading, swinging, portfolio management, and more.
- The group is meant as a longitudinal educational platform for traders who are either seriously working towards going full-time or traders who are already full-time. The channel also includes all my entries, exits, and stop-loss adjustments for all my trades in real-time for my day trades, swing traders, and portfolio adjustments. I basically am fully transparent about how I handle all of my crypto assets in that group.
- Access to the channel is fairly restricted to protect the liquidity of the trading environment for those inside the group. If you are interested in joining, you’ll need to apply for access. Click the “Get Started Now!” button below for the application.
