EPISODE: 029 – Creating Your Own Economy

Intro

As we approach 2023 I know a lot of people are concerned about what the year may bring from an economic standpoint. The financial gurus can’t seem to agree as to whether or not we’re in a recession, but my thought is this. If we are in a recession, choose not to participate. That’s what this episode is all about. We’ll call it “creating your own economy”

  • You ever notice how no matter what’s going on in the world, some people thrive? 
    • Opportunities to buy equipment at pennies on the dollar
    • Opportunities to buy up failing shops
    • Opportunities to hire great technicians

Talking Points

  • You ever notice how no matter what’s going on in the world, some people thrive? 
    • Opportunities to buy equipment at pennies on the dollar
    • Opportunities to buy up failing shops
    • Opportunities to hire great technicians
  • Don’t freak out. Don’t get back under your tools
  • Don’t “pause” your coaching – if you’re not working with a coach – start
  • Don’t spend to reduce taxes – tell them about 2007
  • Don’t stop marketing – double down if anything – your competition will stop – this is where the best “fall into” opportunities
  • Reaccess your core values and live by them
  • Become a professional money manager
  • Write more content, make more videos, and take some ownership in thought leadership
  • Become a broken record about your business – personal social media
  • Go all-in on providing the best customer experience
  • Audit your bank accounts and cancel unnecessary subscriptions, etc
  • Be positive – infectiously positive. Be the light in a time of darkness.
  • Be generous – if things are going well, which they will if you refuse to participate in a downturn, make sure the people who are taking care of you are also thriving.

It’s not just about having money. It’s about having the right mindset.
