Most business leaders coast through strong economic times, never braking to create a plan for the next downturn. What they don't realize is that recessions are unpredictable. If your biggest customer leaves or your best employees start a competing firm across the street, YOU ARE IN A RECESSION.
The savvy entrepreneurs are the ones making plans now, so they can be buyers when opportunity knocks. They're looking forward to purchasing failing companies and hiring top talent when others are caught unprepared by a recession.
In Rock the Recession, Jonathan Slain and Paul Belair get you ready to pounce! Using the Recession Gearbox model, you will learn to:
Assess your readiness for the next recession
Tune-up your business and personal finances
Race to capitalize on other's mistakes
Accelerate past the competition
Through careful research and personal stories of business owners who grew during the Great Recession, you'll learn how to thrive when everyone else is trying to survive.
Overall this was a very informing read. I did not know nearly as much as i thought i did when it came to preemptive planning or gearing up for upcoming downturns. for me, this was a bit of an eye-opener to this entire sphere of business planning. I will say this is most valuable to small companies with some employees or revenue wishing to grow more than a solopreneur startup, but it has valuable lessons for all nonetheless. I would recommend giving this a read if you ever want to be prepared or ahead of the competition when it comes to growing and thriving with your business. Especially so far in 2o20, i think many of you can use a lot of these tips and tricks right now.
