The 'R' Word - How to prepare for a recession

A lot of people are saying a recession is on the way and the continued news of rising bills and energy costs are only getting louder.


The Bank of England has cautioned us over recent months that the UK economy will hit a recession "for more than a year this Autumn". A recession is defined as 2 back-to-back quarters of negative growth and this is combined with record inflation levels (+13%), it’s a recipe for disaster and it can leave many of us facing tough questions in our career.

 

That’s why I’m writing this to you today. I want to help you survive & thrive in the latest recession. Most Blam Partners come from one of 2 camps, employees or small business owners. If you’re a salaried employee or you get paid hourly, then you have to be honest with your situation...

 

Are you a revenue generator - or another expense?

 

If you’re in some kind of support or management role, you’re probably an expense, especially in a smaller business. Maybe the HR Manager won't say it like that but that’s how the bosses really view you. During a recession, being seen as an expense is a perilous place to be. Expenses are often the first things to go when cost cutting is discussed so your source of income is no longer reliable.

 

The only way to secure your long-term future would be to move from the expense column to the revenue-generating column ASAP. 

 

OR you can position yourself to be ahead of the curve. Why not take the time and effort you will expend to make your own boss richer and invest it into running your own business (without having to quit your job)? You suddenly go from being on a tightrope with no net to walking on firm ground.


It’s a win-win. 


If you’d like to do this, but don’t know where to start, I have a 25-minute training session to help. Whether you’re a small business owner or a regular employee, there’s always something you can do to stay recession-proof and provide yourself with the security to be able to focus on the future, not just the here and now.

 

You just have to be one step ahead of the curve.

We lost a true legend in the business coaching world last week when Bob Proctor passed away at the age of 87. Anyone who has been around the business world for some years and taken an interest in personal development will know of Bob, and many will remember him for his part in the famous film/book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. I read The Secret 15 years ago and was intrigued (but skeptical) by this concept that “the Law of Attraction” influences everything in the world and all that we do. Bob was one of the key contributors in this book and I can still hear his voice from the audio stating that we attract what we think about “by law” of nature, a scientific fact. That got my interest and I started to dig deeper. It turns out the theory that we attract what we think about was not a new concept. I’ve recommended before the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill in another article, and in my view this is the business owners version of The Secret, with practical applications of how the law of attraction can work for you. It’s fair to say that those two books had a huge influence on my life and therefore the lives of the people I’ve coached and influenced since. Now the idea, that Bob was so articulate in purveying, is a part of my everyday life and no longer a fringe idea that may not have any substance. So how can you be attractive to the things and people in life that you want? Well, that’s the big question, and I’m still on my journey to achieving all the things I think and work for. However, what I can say is that when you have a goal that you are single-mindedly focused on. A goal, you think about all the time, make plans to achieve, talk and write about it consistently. Then you are employing the Law of Attraction to bring that goal closer to you, and in my experience one way or another you will get there with persistence. There is nothing strange or “woo woo” about that, it’s just common sense. What we can do is help control how much we think about something, charged with positive thoughts and outcomes. Visuals like vision boards can help you do this and goals that are written and printed in line of sight at your desk. Using these techniques over the years I have achieved many goals and created wonderful memories that look just the way I had visualised them. As I sit here writing this, as I do every Sunday morning, in front of me at my desk is my vision board, my goals list and my gratitude bag, all reminding me of where I’m going and being grateful for where I’ve been. I now teach some of these techniques to Blam Partners and help them see how they can influence their future by being more attractive to it. Many find it inspiring and uplifting and that’s what’s so great about some of these practices, at the very least they make you feel good! Life is a journey we are all on together learning from each other, and now one of the great teachers of this journey has made his way to the next stage, I want to keep his flame burning as he was a hugely positive influence in my life, rest in peace Bob.
