EP.632

In a challenging economy, you don’t have to slow down. As a matter of fact, you can thrive, make more money, and get more bang for your buck. By just adding 10% for every 1% that the GDP is down in four areas, you can make more sales and come out on top. 

I share ways that you can add 10% more time, effort, and added value to your customers, plus why it’s a good idea to add more to your marketing and advertising budget. Now is the time to invest more in your team, whether that’s mentors and coaches, or employees and contractors. Lastly, securing 10% more credit can help make up for any cash flow interruptions that you might experience. Listen in to learn more about my mathematical formula for business owners to prosper in a difficult economy.
