5 Tactics For Thriving in a Recession
Yes, these are deeply volatile (and troubling) times.
My heart hurts as I watch and process what’s happening on our tiny blue planet.
And yet, you and I must rise, as things fall.
...as life grows messier we must become stronger.
...as many business people duck their heads into the sand, we must seek out new ways to deliver splendid value.
...as the majority give up on their heroic ambitions, we must honor our dreams, and remain steadfast around our ideals.
...leaders are forged in times of tumult versus during seasons of ease. [I pray you remember this].
To NOT use this crisis to ascend in mastery, creativity and service to many will be to miss the greatest opportunity of your lifetime.
And as an entrepreneur—while others get crushed by fear—you really want to learn how the great ones protect their business to navigate this storm and set yourself up so you thrive once it’s done.
In my 24 years of mentoring billionaires, celebrity CEOs and famed industry titans I’ve learned that to receive the results very few receive, you need to do the things very few are doing.
In the spirit of helping you scale your firm, construct a better lifestyle [for you and your loved ones] and leverage the rest of your life in helpfulness of others, I wish to walk you through 5 specific tactics that will help you rise, in these very uncertain times.
#1. Work on Yourself First.
Your income and impact will never go higher than who you are, as a leader and as a person.
Now—more than ever—is when you need to be calibrating your morning routine, improving your meditation practice, reading books about heroes, optimizing your fitness, dialling in your nutrition and journaling like a pro.
Also, please ensure you’re drinking a good amount of water, fasting to create autophagy, heading into nature daily if you can and improving your sleep hygiene.
#2. Lean Out Your Business.
Many of my top clients are leaning out their businesses and realizing that—without the extra costs and complexity—they not only are fortifying their companies, they are moving even faster. And having more fun.
A crisis is actually an excellent time to grow a more agile and efficient company. That wins when this is all over.
NOTE: To help entrepreneurs battleproof their hard-won businesses during these messy times I’ve created a remarkable new online academy called The Top 5% Business Accelerator. Admission is by application only. Get the details here.
#3. Produce Fresh Solutions.
...disrupt or be disrupted.
...adapt or be defeated.
During this storm, rather than play victim and wish things were the way they used to be (those days are gone), elevate your leadership game and out-invent everyone around you.
Rather than freezing, create new value that your marketplace will adore. Products that customers now need more than ever and services that will help them make their desires real.
Suffering has always provided soil for awesome creativity, next-level productivity and innovation.
#4. Scale Your Craft.
Business always rewards the best.
This is a splendid time to invest in your professional education and personal development.
Your industry rewards the magic you bring to it. Get better at what you deliver and the world will blaze a path to your door. It really will.
Those producers who rest on their laurels will soon be irrelevant.
Those performers who lift their game, advance their skills and escalate their craft will find they have more business than they can fathom. And a lifestyle they adore.
#5. Bulletproof Against Trolls.
If unprepared, the stone-throwing of the critics and cynics can take you down.
The reality is that the very nature of being a visionary and world-changer during dark days means you’ll attract ridicule, jealousy and condemnation. You must continue. At all costs. For the world needs your genius.
Critics are just terrified game-changers, in disguise. Pay zero attention to them. Stick to your knitting. Stand strong. Win.
And, remember, all heroes turned their setbacks into stepping stones. And every luminary transformed their hard moments into monumental leaps.
If you’d like to make this period the period that you experience the most glorious transformation of your entire lifetime...massively accelerating your business success as you multiply your influence, performance and service to society [while creating a world-class lifestyle that wows] then keep reading as I’ve done something super special for you...
...I’ve spent three deep months reviewing the “game charts”, mental models, morning routines, prosperity frameworks and lifestyle elevation processes that I’ve taught to the billionaires and sports legends I’ve mentored for over 24 years.
...I then handcrafted the best information into a truly revolutionary online membership course for empire-builders and world-changers.
...In other words, I’ve decided to share my entire playbook that I’d previously only offered to my ultra-successful clients, so that you will x25 the rest of your pro and private life.
...I named this absolutely world-class new online course The Top 5% Business Accelerator. And it’s the finest program I’ve ever made available—specifically designed for self-transformation and business optimization amid volatile conditions.
My team has decided to make a limited amount of memberships available by application only. Get the details here.
DISCLAIMER: If you’re not ready to learn, grow while others contract, do some work and get truly amazing results during this global crisis, The Top 5% Business Accelerator is NOT for you. Save your money. Please.
...And yet, if you’re a serious entrepreneur who understands the extraordinary value of transformational learning and premium education as a means to remake yourself into a wiser, stronger, faster and more agile performer while significantly growing your business, then this digital program will be life-changing for you.
So do what all those in the Top 5% do and release all excuses, get off the fence and apply for your membership into one of the world’s finest online programs to maximize your performance and grow your business during turbulent times.
Get all the details here before all memberships are gone.
Hope all this helps you.
Better days are coming. Use this stormy season to grow, strengthen and serve.
Love + respect,
