My Job Here Is Done - Career Success Podcast

Recession? Fear Not!

Listen on

Episode notes

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY?  Recessions and the adverse effect they can have on unprepared businesses. Thankfully, on average, recessions last less than a year and rear their ugly head only once every 5-6 years. Recessions are always temporary, and survivable, but you plan way ahead. Plus, that planning will help your business in the long run and during the good times too.

WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?

* Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg made headlines with panic messages.
* We look at the damage that can be done to your workforce if there’s panic. 
* We define the term recession and look at occurrence statistics.
* Why you should look at preparing as a business problem that needs no recession.
* Ways to mitigate the impact on employees and business during bad times.
* How outsourcing can help
* The ABCs of Cultivating, Closing, and Cutting

WHAT’S THE TAKE-AWAY?

Don’t panic when you hear a recession may be imminent, it’s just like experiencing a bad year in business. But if your prepare ahead of time for the eventuality of a bad year, you’ll soar past the competition and win.

WE USED THESE RESOURCES:

Besides our experiences that directly relate to this topic, we found the following resources very helpful in preparing for this episode:

WHO ARE DAVE AND KELLI?

An entrepreneur and intrapreneur duo with street smarts, ‘preneurial’ chops, and a penchant for storytelling.

Dave and Kelli met as teenagers and have a life-long story of their own. They took separate and contrasting career paths, both struggling with the challenges of business and celebrating their career successes differently. 

Kelli, who “worked for the man like a dog for decades,” and Dave, who “started or ran businesses all of his life,” quickly realized there may be substantial value for others based on those combined experiences. The “My Job Here Is Done” Podcast is the result.
