Treat investment trading as a simple business.



Investing and trading, simply put, is a particularly "light" business. Unlike opening a store or running a physical business, which can be extremely troublesome, as long as you have a computer and internet access, you can start anytime and anywhere. Compared to other businesses, it has almost no barriers to entry.
Traditional Business VS Investment Trading

Doing traditional business, such as opening a store or factory, usually requires starting small, gradually gaining experience, and finding some advantages in the small corners that large companies cannot penetrate in order to make a profit. However, these advantages are often not long-lasting, especially for small businesses, where the window for making quick money is particularly short. When policies change or the market becomes chaotic, what you have painstakingly saved up may disappear overnight. In contrast, investment and trading have several major advantages: easy to scale up: you are dealing with money, and you can earn more without needing to hire more people or buy more equipment; you can grow as large as you want.

Flexible and convenient: No need to worry about sourcing and selling, buy today and sell tomorrow, you can act at any time. No complicated issues: You don't have to deal with suppliers playing tricks or customers haggling, the main challenge lies within yourself – how to view the market and control your emotions.

Doing trading is like running a small grocery store: if you think something is worth it, buy it; if you think it should be sold, sell it. The market owes you nothing, and you owe the market nothing; it's that simple.

The biggest difference between investing in large differences (especially in secondary markets like stocks and cryptocurrencies) and doing real business is that you can control your own time.

Investing relies on research and patience—picking the right time to buy and waiting for it to gradually rise several times over. Research can be done anytime and anywhere; when you’re tired, you can take a break, nobody is forcing you, it’s entirely up to you. Once you understand what’s going on, waiting is no longer a problem; you can exercise while you wait, get more sleep, how great is that? However, doing business is completely different. You have to deal with various people every day, and there are countless unexpected situations, making it impossible to plan your time. Sometimes you’re dead tired, but you still have to push through; over time, your body can’t take it. If you engage in business for the sake of some so-called glory, losing your freedom of time, and getting deeper into it, that’s truly miserable. Don’t be greedy; happiness needs to be adjusted by yourself. As someone said well: "Desire greater than ability brings suffering."
Investing and trading may seem easy, but you need to be patient and not always think about achieving success overnight. Happiness is not something that comes waiting, nor is it innate; you must actively adjust your mindset—stay optimistic about the future and stop worrying unnecessarily.
Don't be afraid that no one is engaged in the real economy. Some may ask, "If everyone invests, who will engage in the real economy and make money?" In fact, there's no need to worry; there will always be people willing to take on big tasks and pursue fame and profit in this world. However, you can choose not to compete with them, protect your own time, and through research and patience, exchange small costs for large returns.
Anyone can play in the secondary market, but the opportunities for entrepreneurship belong only to a few who have resources and technology. Ordinary people only hear about the legends of others, which they cannot learn from.
However, investing is different, especially in the secondary market, where the door is open. As long as you have some money and are willing to learn, anyone can give it a try. Treating investment trading as a serious business might be the best business, but the prerequisite is that you must take it seriously.
Don't mess around in the short term—exercise more, eat well, sleep well, and get along with your family; seize opportunities in the long term—learn more, and use a little money to make a lot. Being busy doesn't mean it's business; making money is what counts as business.
