Episode 14 - Recession is a REDIRECTION

It's no surprise that people see recession as a drawback. They either get discouraged or make excuses to slack off. Many people tend to justify why they fail to get projects because of a recession, but think about how much you will rise above your competitors once you figure out how to improvise in these opportunities. 

When people lead from the heart without a process, they're likely going to get rejected and take it to a personal level, and this is a way people justify their lack of projects. A lot of the problem also comes down to mentality. If you allow yourself to slack off and not take action, then you are just like everyone else in the business, but if you're the one who genuinely tries to pivot and take action, you will get out of the recession.

Having a process and considering that you might be part of the problem and actually addressing that issue means that now you have a lead on where to improve first, making your process much easier.  You have to understand that when the money stops moving, electricity doesn't, so there shouldn't be any reasons why we, as electricians, miss profit in any circumstance. 

Once you see it as a redirection instead of a recession, only then will you realize how many opportunities you're missing. Having a solid plan, making consistent action on that plan, and making measured results. The most important lesson here is to plan, do, check, and act. Never let recession pull you down; instead, navigate it, and by all means, never lose that drive to advance. This mentality will reflect on everyone around you, giving them the hope they need.
