Whether it's the rumors of recession (or worse), continued chaos in the political world (and still over a year away from elections -- yikes), increasing cultural division, or something more local, it's a mess out there.

Behm's Key Reminders to Keep Safe from the Financial Storm:

1) What you choose to "ingest" will greatly impact your state of mind.

This will always be the case. Truly -- the media outlets and websites do better (financially) when there is chaos.

That means that there is a very real (monetary) incentive for them to highlight turmoil. If you're wise, you steer clear. I'm not suggesting that you stick your head in the sand, just ... use a strong filter.

2) The only thing certain about the stock market is that it's volatile.

With all that talk of negative yield curves and spooked markets, it's hard to feel confident about long-term outlooks. Which might mean that the best "investment" these days may be YOURSELF ... and your business.

Which leads to...

3) The only thing you can truly control is yourself. The economy, the local market for your goods and services, your retirement -- much of it is out of your hands, in a very real sense.

That said, we met with business owners and clients last week who were taking positive action. With our advice, just a few small tweaks can realize six figures of true savings over the course of years.

Let me know if I can do the same for you.

Until then...

BE THE ROAR not the echo®
