This is not the time to give up or put out the 'closed' sign. This is the time to dive deep into your business strategies and find ways to pivot, enabling your business to prosper during and after the Coronavirus.
Today's guest, Steve Richards, of Redevelop Indy, has proven that he can pivot and thrive during tough times. He saw the slowdown approaching in 2006 and changed his wholesaling strategy to flow with the market decline in 2008. This decision led him to build his business during a downturn when everyone else was losing their shirt. Due to his foresight, he was not only thriving during a crisis, but he was also building his business to multi-million dollar proportions. The lessons he learned are invaluable in today's COVID-19 world.
This episode covers a lot of ground, and not just from a business strategy standpoint, but also from a mindset and life perspective. Because when you are struggling with your business, especially if you're an entrepreneur, your life is struggling as well. Steve and I want to help as many as we can get through these tough times and come out the other side stronger, happier, and wealthier.
