The Economy: What To Do Now
This week on TBOA, Rochelle and I chat about how a tough economy could impact your expertise-based business, and some options for what to do about it.
Talking Points
Why it’s always a good idea to keep evaluating your client base and your product/service ladder—and what to consider now.
How to think about economy-fueled pivots to ensure you don’t make fear-based moves.
Managing your mindset (and your nerves) through economic change—and why staying closely connected to clients helps all of you.
One hidden opportunity to grow your authority (and potentially your business) during economic uncertainty.
