The Realities of Recession 

Rob has hijacked this episode to explain the realities of recession and the steps you can take to be prepared and thrive during a period of recession. 

It is usually 15 years for a recession cycle and the trigger is always different, but you can take proactive steps; building networks and relationships now in preparation, listen in to hear about the realities and how you can plan to not only survive but thrive. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• A recession can result in fear and this can make it more challenging to understand the realities. 

These are the realities; 

• Many great businesses are built on a recession because the playing field is levelled this includes large and significant businesses such as Microsoft and Lego. 

• Many business models thrive in a recession e.g. tax accountants and confectionary manufacturers. Progressive thrived because people were looking for something different and positive they could do as a result our training took off. 
• Your competitors are likely to stop spending money on marketing because they view it as a variable cost. This should be the last thing that should be reduced as it removes your pipeline for new business. 
• When there is a recession you need to learn how to manage your cash and finances better. If you learn to manage cash flow well now you will be even better in a recession. 
• Staff costs are likely to reduce in a recession and it is often possible to employ very talented and skilled individuals at lower salaries. 
• You can buy businesses cheaply and grow through acquisition during a recession. 

• People will have fear and they will need guidance. They will need leaders and that can be you if you manage your emotions well. 
• People think that money disappears in a recession, it doesn’t it just moves, from traditional businesses to lean businesses from old businesses to new businesses.
