Rebel Talk: Buy The Dip

You’ve heard it. I’ve heard it. Everyone who’s ever dipped a toe into the stock market, crypto world, or those hypey finance podcasts has heard it echo a thousand times.

The idea? Sounds easy enough. Prices drop? That’s your window. Grab it while it’s low, ride it on the way back up, cash out when the numbers look pretty.

I’ve tried it. More than I’d like to admit.
I’ve stared at those red candles falling on a chart, convinced myself this was the bottom, and smashed that buy button like I was about to strike gold.

But guess what usually happened?

The dip… just kept dipping.
That “brilliant move”? Turned into a long-term “please bounce back” situation.
That “guaranteed rebound”? Flatlined.

Markets—especially the wild, speculative ones—don’t care about your confidence. They’ll humble you fast.

Timing’s tricky. Emotions get loud. And honestly? Dips don’t always bounce when you need them to.

But here’s the thing—there’s another kind of dip out there.
One that will bounce back. If you’re bold enough to bet on it.

That dip… is you.

Let me explain.

We all hit rough patches.

Moments when energy’s gone, motivation’s on life support, and your momentum feels like it hit a wall.

You wake up, and something feels off. You’re dragging. You’re doubting. You’re stuck.

That? That’s your "dip"

And just like in the markets, you’ve got a choice:

Walk away.

Or lean in. You buy hit.

Here’s what I’ve picked up from falling on my face more times than I can count—those seasons where I felt lost, worn down, or just plain out of it:

When you buy the dip on yourself, you don’t lose.

Because that kind of bet isn’t about perfect timing.
It’s about believing in the comeback.
It’s about knowing your value doesn’t vanish just because you’re in a low season.

That worth? It’s still there. It’s just waiting on you to back it up with effort. With belief. With action.

I’ve lived it.

The days where your dreams feel too far off.
Where passion dims and your fire turns to smoke.
Where you wonder if the best version of you is already in the rearview.

When I was going through my divorce, I bought the dip.

When I was getting sued, I bought the dip.

When my businesses was failing, I bought the dip.

Instead of walking away—I chose to reinvest.

I bought the dip when I dragged myself to work out, even when it felt like a waste of time.

I bought the dip when I stayed up chasing a dream that wasn’t paying yet—but I knew it could.

I bought the dip when I showed up with fight, even when all I had was fumes.

And you know what? Every time—I rose.

Not because I got lucky.
Not because the timing was perfect.
But because belief backed by gritty, relentless action always pays off in the end.

You’re not a meme stock.
You’re not some hype-fueled gamble.
You’re a long-term asset. A high-value, battle-tested investment. And the world doesn’t get to decide what you’re worth just because you’re going through a rough patch.

So if you’re feeling low right now...

Buy the dip.

Bet on you.
Pour into the version of you that’s still fighting underneath the surface.
Lift heavier. Speak louder. Move with purpose.
Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

That’s how we rise.

We don’t run from the low points.
We recognize them.
We dig in.
And we go again.

Bet on yourself. Every damn time.

And if you are "dipping" right now, write me back and let me know. Because if you're reading this, then I will buy that dip.


Stay Relentless,

Ryan
