How To Be Prepared for an Economic Downturn
The economy naturally ebbs and flows, and if you’re a business owner, you need to be prepared for the ebbs before they hit.
“The only preparation for life’s contractions is expansion,” Cardone said. “Expansion is the only solution for a family’s survival. You need to scale your business so it becomes recession-proof. It’s important that you become ‘too big to fail.'”
If you focus on expansion when times are good, you’ll be better able to ride the wave when things get more challenging.
How To Use AI to Your Advantage
Artificial intelligence technology has the power to greatly increase a company’s capabilities — but you need to understand it before you can use it to your advantage.
“You have to dig in and learn how to use the technology, and figure out what it is capable of,” Cardone said. “It’s really about asking great questions and becoming curious about how utilizing AI can benefit you and your business.”
There are a number of resources you can use to educate yourself about AI and its use cases for your particular business, including blogs, online courses and podcasts. Investing your time to educate yourself can pay off handsomely in the future.
