Week 10 of My $50 a Day MSTR Journey: Hitting 10 Shares, Zero Emotion, Full Automation

There’s a quiet power in reaching your first 10 shares. Not because the number is huge, but because of what it represents: identity shift, behavior maturity, and proof that long-term systems work.
This was Week 10 of my $50 a day MicroStrategy investing journey. I started with zero. No trust fund. No windfall. Just daily discipline and a bus driving salary.
Let’s break it down.
I Don’t Even Think About It Anymore
This week, I didn’t check my portfolio daily. I didn’t obsess over MSTR’s price. I didn’t refresh my app five times a day like I did in Week 1.
That’s not laziness. That’s progress.
Because now I understand - my emotions don’t move the needle. They don’t affect my $50. And they don’t affect my outcome.
This journey is 20 years long. What happens this week won’t even matter next quarter.
$250 More Into the Machine
Whether MSTR goes up, down, or sideways, one thing happened every weekday this week: Robinhood invested $50 for me.
$250 total.
No overthinking. No “waiting for the dip.” No trying to time the bottom. Just pure system.
And that $250? It’s $250 more than the guy still waiting for “a good entry.” It’s $250 more than the woman who says she’ll start when she has $10,000 saved.
I started with a bus driver paycheck and that’s the point.
This journey isn’t about waiting. It’s about building.
Hit 10 Shares on June 25
This was the highlight of the week.
At $50 a day, hitting 10 shares of MSTR took just 65 days. And psychologically, this number matters more than it seems.
Why?
Because 10 shares means double digits. It means proof of concept. It means I’ve moved from beginner to builder.
And if I can get to 10, I can get to 25.
This is not a flex. It’s a timestamp. This is what happens when a system runs without interruption.
10 Shares Down. 25 Is Next
Ten shares is exactly 10 percent of 100 shares.
It’s also 1 percent of 1,000 shares - the ultimate benchmark for this journey.
So my next checkpoint is clear: 25 shares.
That’ll be 25 percent of the way to 100. A quarter milestone. And when you’re playing the long game, these psychological checkpoints matter more than price action.
They’re what keep you showing up daily, even when the market’s boring.

Automation Beats Emotion
Robinhood placed every order this week while I drove the bus, worked out, or spent time with family.
It didn’t ask me how I felt. It just bought.
Here’s the proof:
When It Dips, I Still Stick to the Plan
Yes, when MSTR dips, I feel like adding more.
But I remember why I started. My goal is not to catch bottoms. My goal is to show blue collar workers like myself that you don’t need a lot of money to build wealth.
You need a system. And you need to never interrupt it.
This Journey Is About Identity, Not Just Shares
Each week, I become more detached from short-term price and more committed to long-term behavior.
That shift is everything.
This is no longer about money. It’s about the type of person I’m becoming. Someone who shows up, no matter what.
