I was avoiding having this conversation, but it looks like the news won't STFU about it, so on this episode, we're going to dive deep into the "R" word which will only be referenced for those who don't really know what this truly means.  The "R" word refers to recession.  You may have noticed it. Food.  Gas.  Everyday products you use have continued to climb.  Some businesses are taking advantage of it and others have to do it because in order to survive, it's a must.  The truth of the matter is, this isn't the first recession and it won't be the last.  There's the hint and therein lies the opportunity.  When people are scared, get greedy.  But you can't be greedy if you're not prepared.  This means living on less not just during a recession, but during times of abundance.  Here's something to think about.............. Recessions don't affect those who have been great conservators and stewards of their resources.  They've lived on the 70/20/10 principles along the way (The 21 Unbreakable Rules of Money), and have "saved for a rainy day."  Recessions that affect the rest of the population are one example of a "rainy day."  There is so much opportunity right now.  There's tons of money to be had if you're prepared to meet the demands of what's required from the marketplace.  Investing time in honing and crafting your skills, and making relationships by putting out content that educates, informs, and entertains people about what's really happening.  In this episode, you'll get a crash course in modern-day economics and how you can come out stronger, better, and more financially stable than most.  #RiseAbove    How to Get Involved: This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.
