When it comes to business & investment pursuits, trading truly is a great business \u2013 but only if you treat it as the business that it really is.\u00a0 Most traders get around to this after taking several financial and mental beatings, but it when you finally do, the rewards are great.<\/p>\n
Where most traders go wrong, starts at the very beginning of their trading careers.\u00a0 They see trading more as a simple way to make some money, rather than a real business \u2013 and they pay a steep price in both financial and personal terms for this error.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Remember when you first heard about trading?\u00a0 It sounded relatively straightforward and potentially very lucrative while offering many great benefits: no employees, low barriers to entry, relatively low startup capital, just to name a few.<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long though to discover that it isn\u2019t quite as easy as it seemed at first, did it?\u00a0 There are hundreds of choices to make and the possibilities seem almost endless.<\/p>\n
Now because trading is often presented as \u2018easy money\u2019 and not a real business, it is quite common for new traders to just jump in with live trading thinking that if they can just start making some money with it, everything else will fall into place.\u00a0 Either that or they just aren\u2019t considering the challenges of making that money consistently over time.<\/p>\n
When you approach trading as the business that it is, you realize several truths that make life easier in making a success of the endeavor.\u00a0\u00a0 You also realize several significant benefits and advantages that otherwise would elude you.<\/p>\n
First of all when you mentally approach your trading as a business, it has an entirely different look and feel.\u00a0 Many traders view trading as their future and for some, it even becomes their identity.\u00a0 When it is your business though, you remain detached to a degree because it stays separated from you, an activity in which you participate, a business that you own \u2013 while you keep your identity whole.\u00a0 The feelings will still be strong, but at least some separation and needed detachment are there.<\/p>\n
Secondly, without an entrepreneur\u2019s mindset, the whole activity of trading gets organized only to a limited degree.\u00a0 For those with the \u2018easy money\u2019 view of trading, it will only become organized and structured to the extent that you can get started.\u00a0 When approached from the view that it is a business to be built, much more detail and forward thinking is brought to the matter, giving realism and proper perspective that otherwise is absent.<\/p>\n
The third advantage, is that of structure and patience.\u00a0 You know that businesses are not built overnight, so the expectations from the onset become more realistic and thus more manageable.\u00a0 If you are looking to \u2018make lots of money fast\u2019 instead of building a business, you will have disappointments and frustrations due to the unrealistic expectations not being met.<\/p>\n
You avoid tremendous opportunity cost.\u00a0 Every month that goes by that a trader continues to trade for little or no profit represents an opportunity cost because their time has been spent and investment capital tied up when it could have been generating a return elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Probably the greatest advantage to treating your trading as a business is that of compressing the time to profitability.\u00a0 When approached realistically from the proper viewpoint that trading is a real business, this causes you to properly plan your business, thinking through most matters that otherwise only get addressed as errors are made.\u00a0 The most common denominator among failed traders and failed businesses in general is the lack of a business plan.<\/p>\n
Go to any bank, angel investor, or venture capitalist, and tell them that you have a great idea to make money.\u00a0 Then, tell them that you have no business plan.\u00a0 They will tell you to go away, without giving you any money or even the time of day \u2013 because they\u2019ve learned over decades that without a business plan, your odds of success become about 10%.\u00a0 They also know that even if you do eventually succeed, your time to profitability will probably be unacceptably long for them to get their money back.<\/p>\n
Another way, and probably the one with the greatest impact,\u00a0 in which the business approach gets you to profitability faster is that with a working plan in place, you will avoid the many detours and wastes of time and resources that can too easily occur without it.\u00a0 How many traders do you know that have tried several different markets or at least different systems, yet still are not making the money they want?\u00a0 This is but a small illustration of the savings of time and capital.<\/p>\n
