Have you got a crystal vision for your future?
Can you imagine telling your boss you’re leaving your role to become a full-time trader?
Can you picture not worrying if you’ll have enough money for your retirement?
Well… if that’s what you want, how do you get to that endpoint?
Yes, it’s important to start with the end in mind and then work backward to fill in the blanks – but for many of us, this is harder than it looks.
Should you primarily invest in the markets, or should you trade them? The answer might not be as complicated as you think.
In this revealing interview Louise Bedford, best-selling author, shares with Olivia Clare, host of the Crystal Vision podcast, what it takes to maintain a balanced view in the markets.
They discuss how maintaining an Index fund as well as being involved in ETFs can provide the stability you crave, while trading can give you the freedom to experience outsized gains.
Trading and investing – you may not have to make a choice of one or the other.
There’s room for both methods, and by keeping an open mind, you’re more likely to excel in a way that not only fills up your bank account, but it also lets you indulge yourself in experiencing the time you need to really LIVE.
Claim your power in the markets.
If you’ve ever felt embarrassed to trade because of other people’s views, this is the episode for you. You will have your ‘ta da’ moment in the future because you’re staying loyal to your trading goals.
