7 Steps to Recovering Your Business in ANY Economic Climate

Over the years I have personally talked with thousands of business owners, executives, and managers. I have seen a pattern develop time and time again during periods of loss or change. I can assure you that the rate at which you go through these stages determines how soon you can get your business back on track.

Here are the 7 steps that almost every business goes through at some point:

Step 1: Denial

This is a refusal to believe and accept that things have changed. All efforts and energy are invested into resisting that conditions have changed. This is the point when you have your head in the sand. This is Blockbuster thinking Netflix was a fad in 2003. 

Step 2: Anger/Blame

The next step inevitably finds a target to blame for the change. All energy and effort is spent on finding someone to assign blame as the reason for the current situation. Blaming others never does you good. Accept responsibility for everything in life!

Step 3: Bargaining and Hope

This next stage involves bargaining and hoping for someone to save you. This is a low level of responsibility. For example, think of people waiting for the banks to free up capital or the government to come in and play Robin Hood and save you.

Step 4: Apathy

Eventually you come to realize that things have changed and no one can save you. This results in people moving into major contraction and worsening of their own condition by saving money, energy, resources, creativity and any efforts to find a way out. This is a stage of quitting or withdrawing.

Step 5: False Acceptance and Action

The next thing is a spurt of effort to accept conditions and doing something about it resulting in inconsistent and disappointing actions. Most underestimate the degree of change (pain or loss) and then take actions based on their underestimation. 

Step 6: Disappointment (another level of apathy)

Because little actions never result in satisfactory levels of production, you will feel more disappointment, confusion and possible frustration. This disappointment should prepare you for true acceptance of the situation and what is required to dig out.

Step 7: True Acceptance Stage

This last stage is where you or your team becomes fully aware of the amount of change for the first time and are now prepared to let go of the past and move into the future. You realize you need new skills. In this final stage, you will experience a reinvigoration and excitement about your business.

You are ready to take your business back to prosperity when you can answer “yes” to the following:

1. Are you no longer concerned with who is to blame but rather what you need to do?
2. Do you believe that no one is going to come in and save the day? 
3. Are you disappointed in the results from the actions you’ve taken? 
4. Is it time to learn new actions, new skills, and new approaches for the new economy or marketplace?

The Women of Cryptocurrency

Bitcoin and other virtual currencies exhibit similar gender inequality issues as Silicon Valley, but women are slowly making an impact in this industry

If you’ve been paying any attention to the news lately, then you’ve heard the recent raucous surrounding the rollercoaster that is cryptocurrencies. Are you confused by what you’re reading and hearing? Don’t worry, so are most people—even the ones who are investing in this digital currency. There’s so much buzz floating around about this phenomenon, it’s no wonder everyone is in a tizzy over its rising and falling prices.

Warren Buffett famously advised never to invest in anything you don’t understand—yet Bitcoin investors don’t really seem to be heeding that advice. Some people have hailed this virtual currency as the money of the future, while others have dubbed it the next Ponzi scheme. Only time will tell.

Of course, Bitcoin isn’t the only game in town. There are countless substitutes to Bitcoin, which are grouped as “altcoins,” or alternative cryptocurrencies that were launched after Bitcoin. And where there are options, there are opportunities.

Women Have Entered the Sandbox

A recent study in the Harvard Business Review revealed that only 9 percent of entrepreneurs in VC-financed tech startups are women. So it’s no surprise that the roughly $460 billion digital currency market is dominated by men. Sounds like Silicon Valley all over again. But I’m happy to report that women are now getting in on the action.

In fact, four out of 30 of the largest initial coin offerings this year (through October) had female co-founders, and two of their ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) were among the largest so far.

It’s a safe bet that women didn’t have a seat at the table when our current financial system was conceived hundreds of years ago, and now we have an opportunity to change the future with what could be a whole new system—one that rests on a decentralized model that offers added transactional privacy. While the longevity of digital currencies remains unknown and I don’t have a crystal ball to predict what might happen next, one thing is for certain: It’s a hot industry with room for a woman to rise to the top.

Let’s look at a few female trailblazers:

• Maxine Ryan: This 25-year-old dropped out of college to launch Bitspark in Hong Kong. Its ICO, in November, raised $1.4 million.
• Rhian Lewis: This organizer of a London-based Women in Bitcoin group provides a welcoming, friendly environment for nearly 400 women who want to learn more about Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
• Tavonia Evans: This technology veteran launched the very first ICO for $Guap, a coin aimed at recycling wealth within the Black community. She has almost 20 years of technology experience and believes that cryptocurrency could be the game changer for Black economics.

Plenty of Room to Grow

Since only 5-7 percent of cryptocurrency users are women, we still have a long way to go in this industry, ladies.

CoinDesk, an influential cryptocurrency media company, recently compiled a list for a vote on the most influential people in blockchain, which includes outsiders who’ve made an impact—such as socialite Paris Hilton and JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon. If you’re looking for women’s names on this list, you’ll need to look hard. Only a fifth of the 153 identifiable candidates were women.

If you’re seeking new and exciting opportunities to achieve your financial dreams, then the world of cryptocurrencies might be a great platform for you to explore. Just know that the future of this marketplace is entirely unpredictable, prices are fluctuating daily and it’s a total gamble at this point. Some advisers are telling clients to stay awayunless they can afford to lose 100 percent of what they put into a cryptocurrency investment.

As Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” As with any investment, do your research and make sure you’re educated before you plunk down your hard-earned money.
