Takeaways

Opening up and talking about traumatic experiences can have a positive impact on mental health and well-being.

Seeking professional help, such as therapy or counseling, can provide support and guidance in processing trauma.

Supporting others and creating a safe space for open conversations can help break the stigma surrounding mental health.

Being a good listener and offering non-judgmental support can make a significant difference in someone's life.

Running a business can be rewarding but also comes with its own challenges and stressors. Trading can provide an additional source of income for tradespeople, offering financial security and the potential for early retirement.

Mindset and psychology play a crucial role in trading success, and it is important to manage emotions and practice risk management.

TFT provides structured education, support, and a community for tradespeople interested in learning how to trade.

The building trades can have a negative impact on mental health due to factors such as isolation, financial pressures, and the pressure to maintain a macho image.

Open conversations and support are essential in addressing mental health issues in the building trades and promoting overall well-being.
