Increase Your Action and Out-Produce the Problem!
by Grant Cardone
Today we are seeing companies and individuals going down with the ship... Individual incomes are decreasing along with the shrinking profits of their companies. Is this necessary? Must an individual lose ground while their industry's production slips? No! This does not have to be the case... I have found that there is an exact process an individual can take to make up for any contraction in the market.
Lets take a look. If your respective industry is in a state of contraction then you need to take action based on that economic reality.
Here's how it breaks down.
Whatever actions you took during regular market growth must be increased by the percentage that your market has contracted. If the market is off 40%, take each category of productive action you have used in the past and increase those actions by at least 40%.
Below is a chart you can use to Estimate the amount of Effort needed to maintain and improve your production.
