Planning A Video Training: Strategies To Deal With Changes Entrepreneurs Are Currently Facing
Can you let me know your thoughts? (a quick survey)
I’m going to create a free video training about the changes entrepreneurs are seeing (and living through) very soon.
But I’d also like to make sure I have the entire picture – and the information we all need.
I’ve been checking in with entrepreneurs in various sectors in the last few weeks. Though they don’t always want to say it out loud – for many businesses, client activity is declining significantly…
Is this you? And what do you think is behind this change?
I’d love to hear back from you on your experience. If you could take a minute or two to answer a few questions in this survey (here is the link: https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/FGNM3GK), I am preparing feedback on what’s working and what’s not in that video training I mentioned.
It doesn’t apply to everyone, I know – but it’s happening widely enough that many of my clients, students and graduates need to change their client strategy to maintain their revenue.
Here are some of the factors I’m hearing that are causing people to tighten their belts: ongoing disruption in supply chains, and rising prices in areas like food, gas and mortgage prices. You are probably living through this as well.
Is there good news? Some reduction in inflation rates in both the US and Canada in May. Will this be enough to offset talk of a fall recession? (It certainly didn’t appear in the spring – despite the rumours.
Stay tuned – and if you can spare 2 minutes to complete this survey – here is the link again https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/FGNM3GK.
