“Be greedy when others are fearful and be fearful when others are greedy.” Warren Buffett’s famous words are incredibly relevant now as we navigate this crazy covid economy.
The turbulence of this time has led to hesitation, concern, uncertainty and fear. These emotions lead people to make irrational decisions, especially with money. It becomes easy to follow the crowd, but this is definitely a time to go against the status quo.
Everyone is afraid right now, but the people who win in this economy see things very differently. That’s because there are massive opportunities in this type of market if you know where to look. In hard times there are two types of people, the fearful and the enlightened. What you lose or gain during this crisis is going to be determined by who you choose to be.
What opportunities are going to come out of this economy? How do we prepare for them? In this episode I share how to line up with and act on the opportunities that are coming our way.
