Economic ups and downs are inevitable. How do YOU stay resilient?

• Stay Informed: Follow reputable sources for economic analysis, relevant to your industry.
• Track Your Numbers Closely: Watch cash flow, revenue patterns, to see any shifts early.
• Scenario Planning: “What if” thinking… plan for possible downturns so you’re not caught off guard.
• Flexible & Adaptable: Be ready to pivot, offer new products, or target new markets.
• Reconsider Expenses: During booms, cut unnecessary costs so you have more buffer in downturns.
• Network is Net Worth: Strong relationships may lead to opportunities, even in a tough economy.

Proactive economic awareness helps you manage risk and spot opportunities others miss.
