Description

Welcome to this episode of the Fail Forward podcast.   In this episode I am talking about recession.    More specifically - I am urging you, as a business owner and entrepreneur, to proactively seek out the opportunity that arises in every recession.    And to not talk yourself into making emotionally charged decisions based on the doom and gloom of the mainstream media.    There is no denying that times are tough for lots of people right now. But history shows us that:   ? Recessions are part of the economic cycle. ? When viewed as part of the bigger picture, they do not usually last long. ? They are always followed by periods of growth. ? More millionaires are made in recessions than in any other economic period.   If you are worried about your business - reach out. The absolute worst thing you can do is bury your head in the sand and hope any problems will go away.    Talk to me. Talk to friends and family. Talk to a business advisor. Don’t suffer in silence.   If things aren’t bad for you right now - that’s great news. Focus on your own course of action and avoid overindulging in mainstream media. Keep working towards your goals, adapt and evolve if you need to.    ⭐️ Build a positive culture. ⭐️ Know your numbers. ⭐️ Have your sales and marketing in place. ⭐️ Create processes to make you lean, agile and efficient.    And keep failing forward.   Please listen, share and join the conversation on my socials.   If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/

Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it Fail Forward is the weekly podcast hosted by entrepreneur and family man Henri Ghijben. In each episode you’ll hear from Henri and guests as they share real-life experiences of positives born from failure, reflections on the lessons learned from ‘losing it all, and what fuels Henri’s desire to help others overcome personal and business challenges in order to create the lives they want to live. Who is Henri Ghijben? Growing up in Bury St Edmunds, Henri’s first memorable experience of failure left him with the lasting ability to never get lost. It proved to be the first of many times Henri would fail forward. But it wasn’t until he faced losing his home, business and possibly even his family, that he realised the truth. Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it. Against the odds, Henri has rebuilt from rock bottom. He’s now on a mission to help others avoid making the same mistakes he did, to help those facing failure see that there is a way back and that by failing forward they can enjoy success again. Ever thankful for the love and support of his family, the loyalty of his team and the help of business owners who helped him when the chips were down, Henri now lives in Southampton where he runs HRG Tree Surgeons, has growing property management and investment businesses and runs mentoring programmes for business owners, entrepreneurs and directors who are on their own growth journeys.
