The Reasons Why Forex Is a Good Business

It doesn’t really matter how you hear about Forex or how you find yourself attracted to this new possible avenue. Whether your are fed up with your job, or you may be looking for a change of direction, the first thing you will identify is that your current job has a financial limitation. If you have a job or you have trained for a specific job, that job will equate to a fairly specific salary bracket. Of course, you will be paid more if you are a vet for race horses than if you are a country vet but even then, that bracket will remain fairly fixed for the rest of your career. In Forex, your salary will only be limited to the size of your trading account. Your skills are the same whether you trade with a $1,000 or $100,000. Your salary is the only difference.

Once I discovered Forex, I quickly realised all the potentials this business could offer me. I was, of course, full of preconceived ideas, as most of us are, I expect, but I could see instantly all the advantages compared with a traditional business or job. Those were the first things I could identify as a given.

In the first instance, this is a business that:

    Is accessible to anyone really. You could be a brain surgeon or unemployed, nothing stops you from acquiring the necessary skills to become successful in Forex.
    It is not hard to do. Sure it is an Art, but so is plastering or cooking, the difference is that you could become financially independent trading Forex but you won’t, by choosing plastering as your career.
    Does not need a 24/7 approach. No shift work or weekend work. I personally worked every Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night for 14 years, running my restaurant (at least 48 weeks out of 52). Those were the busiest nights of the week so I had to be sure that everything was working fine and had to be there of course to be sure.
    Does not require vast amount of cash to start trading and making money. Now, that has got to be a real plus. Imagine you have a fabulous idea for a new business. Unless you have the financial backing to support your new business, I can assure you that you will find it extremely hard to fund your venture by borrowing the capital from a bank. Unless you provide them with solid collateral.
    Can be done from pretty much anywhere in the world. This is a freedom I very envied during my catering career. I certainly couldn’t take my restaurant with me if I wanted to spend 6 months of the year by the Mediterranean sea and the other 6 months in Scotland.
    Has no age limitation, therefore, no retirement. Providing of course that your remain mentally fit to trade successfully.
    Has no real physical limitation. In fact, Forex might provide a career opportunity to disabled people who would otherwise struggle financially.
    Doesn’t need to cost you anything while you learn your new skill and unlike a university course, there is no time limit to your learning.
    Can be practiced as near as real life experience without any financial commitment until you feel ready enough to commit yourself.
    I could go on and on but to me, these are the first obvious advantages that Forex has over any other businesses or jobs.

There is also another good reason why Forex could provide salvation in the economical crisis the western world is currently facing where:

Jobs are diminishing fast and unemployment figures in most countries in Europe and the USA are heading toward or already are in double digits. High street businesses are closing down at an alarming rate, depleting all sorts of seasonal jobs that would be available to the young generation while still studying or provide part time work to single parents. Our young generation is required to study for years, at great financial burden to their future life or to us parents that can afford to fund their studies. Now, it wouldn’t be so bad financial for them or for us if, at the end, they were guarantied the prospect of a job or career in their respected field of studies. But that is now becoming a luxury.

I used to travel Europe in my younger days, during my summer break. I never had much money, but I had a skill and I wasn’t frighten of hard work. I could always wash dishes and perform basis tasks in a kitchen (that was before I became a chef). Those skills meant that wherever I went, if I ran out of cash or was running low or if I wanted to stay in the same place for a while, I could always get a job in a kitchen, I would make some cash and I would be fed too. I never had any problems getting a job, even with the language barrier.

Times have changed, I wonder if Forex will become the dishwashing job of the future generation; help them fund their studies or travels. One thing for sure; if their develop those skills well enough, we might find whole generations, permanently on holiday, forgetting about their studies altogether.

Of course, the difference between Forex and washing dishes is that, you can live off Forex, very comfortably and it is far less back braking.
