"Right now, building a business is like running in a marathon... So the first you have to decide is are you willing to win? And if you're committed to win, are you willing to pay the price that success demands today..? The strong are going to survive."

Are you worried about what the future holds—your job, paying rent, driving a car, even affording groceries and energy bills? things have changed dramatically since the pre-COVID days. Back then, buyers were more confident, and a quick pitch could seal the deal. But now, in a post-COVID world riddled with economic uncertainty and skepticism, buyers are far more cautious and demanding. Remember when the recession hit right after COVID? It compounded the uncertainty and made people even more skeptical. Many have been scammed, making them savvier and more discerning. They need to know they can trust you before they make a purchase.

Today's buyers are spending more time researching and evaluating their options. Ever find yourself scrolling through countless product reviews before hitting that "buy now" button? You're not alone. As a business, understanding your audience is the key to success in this new landscape.

Joining us, again, in this enlightening episode, Marc Von Musser who is an expert in comer behavior. He shares insights on why accountability through coaching is critical. It's all about making you do the things you're not comfortable doing and believing in your own. It's not just about having the right strategy but also about doing the things you're not comfortable doing. If you don't believe you'll succeed, you won't. Mindset is everything.
