How to Take Control of Your Finances with Ben Knight of The Trade Tribe

Author: Kevin McDonnell June 24, 2025 Duration: 25:55
https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Kev is joined by Ben Knight from The Trade Tribe to talk about how you can take control back of your finances in the stock market. For less than 5 minutes a day, Ben’s strategy helps anyone learn and start trading. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Ben Knight started The Trade Tribe 5 years ago with the goal to make trading more simple for the everyday person. • Many people avoid trading as it can be portrayed as complicated, but Ben says this is not the case and you shouldn’t let it put you off, regardless of who you are and how much money you have to invest. • Ben believes that financial education should be taught in school, and children leave school without the skills to build their wealth or even truly understand money. • Ben started doing HMOs but didn’t educate himself enough on property, this was a big lesson for him and meant he did the right amount of research before starting in trading. • Creating and following a process is important for Ben, and he encourages anyone investing in anything to take a methodical and rational approach. • You need to know when you plan on selling something and have a plan for it before you even buy in the first place. Start with the end in mind. BEST MOMENTS “People are making it ridiculously complicated…it puts a lot of people off” “Everyone has 5 minutes in their day to grow their wealth” “Everyone likes to think about what to buy when, but no one thinks about when to sell” “Start with the end in mind” VALUABLE RESOURCES Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benknightinvestments/ Website:www.thetradetribe.com  MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Sean Fitzpatrick is a property investor, educator, and the Face of Progressive Property.
