Structure brings predictability. There is power in establishing systems to build trading skills, life balance, and business growth.  In this episode of More Clients, Less Effort, we look closely into the world of trading and investing with Louise Bedford, a trading mentor with over 20 years of market experience, and acclaimed author with 5 best-selling books under her belt.  Among Louise’s core messages are her 3 key systems involving:  1.  A trading plan — entries, exits and position sizing 2.  A healthy work-life balance including relationships and self-care 3.  Business growth — knowing your avatar and providing ongoing value. These systems remove chaos and provide a structure for achieving your desired results.  Listen in as Louise promotes playing to your strengths, nurturing your community, and dissuades chasing every new opportunity that comes your way.  With structure around your priorities, trading and business can bring you closer to the freedom you seek.
