Financial markets have entered a period of unprecedented transformation, creating both risks and opportunities for entrepreneurs worldwide. Generational wealth shifts and changing perceptions of financial systems demand strategic adaptation. Hassan Fawaz, founder of GIV Trade Holdings, brings over twenty years of experience helping business leaders navigate these complex landscapes. His straightforward approach cuts through market noise to offer actionable insights for entrepreneurs facing today’s volatile economy.
Be Educated About the Market
Hassan doesn’t mince words about today’s financial landscape. It’s tough out there. “This is a tough market to be in. We are going through a generational change in wealth,” he warns. It’s not just another market cycle – something fundamental is shifting beneath our feet. The money’s moving differently now. Most business owners are too busy running their companies to notice the bigger picture. Bad move, says Hassan. “We’re going through a whole shift in how financial markets are perceived. So, people have to pay attention to what’s going on.”
Skip the financial education, and you might find yourself wondering why yesterday’s business strategies don’t work anymore. The rules are changing. Hassan sees entrepreneurs struggling to adapt simply because they don’t see what’s happening around them.
Tracking Political Influence on Business
Politics and business mix whether we like it or not. Hassan cuts straight to a reality many financial advisors dance around – policy changes affect your bottom line. “You have to pay attention to Donald Trump really well. He seems the one to be calling all the shots right now,” Hassan notes. Not a political statement. Just business reality. The impact? Everywhere you look. “Whatever policies come out of him, they’re going to impact the cost of your eggs, to the cost of your car, to where you go on vacation with your kids.” Nothing stays untouched when economic policies shift. Smart entrepreneurs track these connections. They see how a tariff announcement Monday affects their supply chain costs by Friday. Hassan’s clients learn to spot these ripples before they become waves.
Preparing for Market Uncertainty
Here’s where Hassan breaks from typical financial advice. He doesn’t pretend to have a crystal ball. “The only certainty in this market is uncertainty,” he says. Refreshingly honest in a world of financial “experts” claiming to predict next quarter’s numbers. Instead of false promises, he offers a more practical approach. “You ought to hedge against that to make sure that you are able to cope with everything that’s going on.” No guarantees. Just smart positioning. His clients don’t try to predict exactly what will happen. They build businesses flexible enough to handle whatever comes. It’s the difference between trying to guess tomorrow’s weather and simply carrying an umbrella just in case.
Markets shift. That’s what they do. Always have. Hassan’s seen plenty of entrepreneurs freeze when faced with uncertainty. Others panic and make rushed decisions. Neither works. “The world is shifting, but that’s not a reason to panic. It’s a reason to prepare,” he says. Simple advice that’s harder to follow than it sounds. The entrepreneurs who thrive don’t waste energy worrying about change. They use that energy to adapt to it. Hassan’s approach focuses on turning market shifts into advantages rather than threats.
After two decades helping business owners navigate financial waters, Hassan still sees opportunity where others see only risk. “If you’re ready to turn these global shifts into your next big move, let’s talk,” he offers. “Let’s build something global together.” The markets will change tomorrow. They always do. Hassan just wants to make sure you’re ready when they do.
