My name is Christoph Neuwirth and I help companies and entrepreneurs to achieve their professional and financial, but also personal goals.
You probably already know this phrase if you've been to my home page, but now that you've clicked on my "About Me" page, I think you probably want to know a little more.
I have always been entrepreneurial. This started with small mini-jobs and first ventures besides school and runs like a thread throughout my life. So it was relatively clear and logical that I started studying business at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration.
That was in 2009 and I gained my first trading experience on the stock market. While I was already buying stocks and using them simply to invest, I was able to trade more short-term and more speculative with Forex trading (Euro, U.S. Dollar, Swiss Franc, British Pound and Japanese Yen). The immense advantage was that trading was open virtually 24/7, as the FX market starts Sunday evening when the stock market in Australia opens and ends Friday evening when the stock markets in the US close. Only cryptocurrency trading is even more active, but that wasn't an issue for me at the time.
In any case, because things were relaxed at the university and attendance was not compulsory, I was more concerned with trading and hustling on new ventures. The university system was not suitable for me and so I switched to the bachelor's program "Banking and Finance" at the FH Wiener Neustadt, because there the teaching is organized and saves an immense amount of time. This is also a lesson I learned that way and also like to pass on: It showed me why video courses or mentoring sessions have a real added value, because if you have a common thread you can follow easily there, you save an incredible amount of time and hence real money, even if you have to invest a little more at first.
Since I had successfully completed many lectures from the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration, I was credited for some of them and therefore I decided to fill my gained free time again and so I became the chairman of the student council and was able to learn an extraordinary amount again. The job required a great deal of responsibility and organization of several resources both in the area of leading teams and staff, budget management or even representing and conferring. Meanwhile, it's 2012 and I decide to spend my semester abroad, in Nanchang, China. At the time, it was so incredibly different from anything I had experienced in my younger years - it was loud, colorful, outlandish - quite a culture shock, but had an intangible dynamic and was a unique experience that I'm sure was groundbreaking for much later on.
Trading, and this must be emphasized here, is not something that just happens and is easy, but takes a lot of practice and experience and above all it takes time, especially when the markets are tradable at virtually any time. So I quickly learned that I had to automate my trading, which was by now good and profitable, to make it even more efficient and effective. Advantageous for me was that the trading style was also suitable for automation, which is not always the case. So my manual trading strategy was coded and implemented in a trading algorithm.
Before the end of my bachelor's degree, I used this algorithm to buy into an investment company that specialized in automated trading. With this investment, I had taken a big step towards financial independence and, because it was automated, I had to deal with it very little. Even though I was able to work at one of the best-known investment banks in Frankfurt, I ultimately decided against it and began my master's degree in "International Finance and Risk Management" in a relaxed manner - an ideal complement to my previous business.
By now, it's 2016 and although the main business of trading does need my impulse from time to time, the master's degree is running quite casually for that, I have this inner restlessness and entrepreneurial curiosity again that needs to be appeased and as such I tried out a variety of projects, business areas and business models. Affiliate Marketing, Dropshipping, Print-on-Demand, just to name a few. Some worked well, some not at all, but much more important is to find what suits you - that's also always advice I pass on to everyone.
Cryptocurrencies, which I had traded briefly in the past, but then lost sight of for some time, came back to my mind and I have been intensively involved with the technology and especially the possibilities offered by Bitcoin, Ethereum and other altcoins for many months now. This resulted in me flying to China for a quick meeting, personally ordering the first 25 out of quite a few 100 crypto mining machines and setting up a smaller mining farm with 2 other partners.
My now familiar pattern comes into play here as well, because while the machines are dutifully humming (or rather noisily whirring) while busily mining cryptocurrencies, I was once again looking for new challenges, writing my books and furthermore building up my own publishing house, one of my main sources of income and built created some more income streams besides.
On my way, which I could now describe a little, many friends, acquaintances, but also participants of my seminars have asked me for help, tips and tricks and therefore it was quite obvious to prepare this knowledge, record and publish it so that others also have this chance, because on my way there were not only sunny days, but also hurdles, defeats and dark shadows and if I can save someone from them and help them further, then I am also helped and that makes me very happy.
In this sense, thanks for reading and I would be happy to meet you in one of my courses or even personally in a consultation! Thereupon I wish you good luck and success,
Christoph Neuwirth
