A new survey has revealed 89 per cent of small businesses are now more concerned for their future, than they were during the Covid years.

The findings reveal that 40 per cent of small business owners experienced a decline in profits over the last year.

Many business owners are finding that the best strategy is to develop multiple sources of income, and some are even investigating areas that previously felt intimidating, like the stock market.

Fortunately, the stock market is not the economy – so although it’s hard for businesses, it doesn’t mean it’s hard for traders.

Even if you’re not in your own business, there are lessons in this episode for you, because trading is the quintessential small business.

If you have any entrepreneurial blood running in your veins, this interview will tell you exactly how to convert this into trading profits. You’ve already got an advantage – you know what it’s like to run a business.

So now, it’s time to use that attitude to trade like a market pro.
