Manage episode 480593771 series 2899136
When the economy gets shaky, most business owners go into hiding — cutting back, pulling in, and hoping to ride it out.
But here's the thing about holding back:
👉 Shrinking is a choice. And right now, it’s the riskiest one you can make.
Instead of retreating, this is your moment to stand out — to get visible, build trust, and become the expert your audience turns to.
In this episode you’ll learn:
✅ Why downturns are actually prime time for bold positioning
✅ The 3 visibility pillars that will future-proof your business
✅ A real-world story of a client who grew during a crisis by showing up differently
✅ How to “draft” off trusted leaders in your space (and borrow their authority)
✅ Why now is the best time to say what others won’t and show what others don’t

🎧 Hit play and take the first step toward standing out, even in a downturn.
If you're the best-kept secret in your industry, it's time to change that.
