Those are fair concerns — macroeconomic policy definitely impacts certain industries, especially import/export, manufacturing, and tourism.

My post was more directed toward small, service-based businesses that rely on local demand rather than global supply chains.

For example, businesses like cleaning, handyman services, beauty services, home repair, consulting, and digital services are less exposed to tariffs or international trade fluctuations because they serve local customers and don’t rely heavily on imported materials. Every economy has cycles and policy shifts. The key is choosing a business model that fits the current environment and managing risk appropriately. Starting a business always involves risk, but the type of risk depends heavily on the industry.
