I have seen the inside of companies large and small across 30 industries. The owners that make the most money, did one thing better than the rest: They picked the right industry.

I’m an introvert. But I've also: • Built a 10-person team • Worked with 75+ clients • Connected with other business owners I had to do it. There was no way around it. Put yourself in situations that force you to grow.

No one thinks emergencies will happen to them. But sometimes they do. If you're in one, here are 3 options: 1. Liquidate assets (You'll likely be able to buy them again in the future) 2. Explain your situation to Debtors, Suppliers, Employees 3. Offer heavy discounts
Contrarian view: If you are under 35-40 and are actively saving for retirement stocks going down for 10 years is a positive. Why would you want to pay more for the same asset if you don’t need the money for 25+ years? The only reason it going up is valuable is ego. lmk
