    About this Episode

    Key topics:

    ✔️ ICYMI news, 10/23 - 10/28.
    ✔️ The Dollar Tree is the $1.25 tree with some items now $3, $5 & $7. Even the discount stores are not very discount anymore.
    ✔️More and more neighborhoods showing economic distress. I drove by a neighborhood that was built around 2006 or 2007 during the 125% loans + no money down fiasco, and some of the houses are falling apart.
    ✔️ Lots of articles going up against remote work - will they be fired first, remote work is disappearing, out of sight out of mind, etc. It's not a buried thesis. They want you back.

    Do You Actually Want to Get Better?

    Or do you want a "yes man" to tell you that everything you do is perfect? If you're not improving, you're sliding backwards, especially in this economy.

    AI & the Majority of Jobs

    Knowing When to Quit

    Knowing When to Quit

    Making the decision to sell or close a business is a big one. Likewise, if you've been freelancing professionally, it's a big decision to close the operation and go back to a full-time 8 to 5 job.

    ➡️ Is the whole business in shambles? Or are there particular aspects that can be changed in order to make things better?

    ➡️ Are you relying on freelancing websites and, by extension, nightmare clients?

    ➡️ We live in an age of constant screens and distractions. Take the time to get still and quiet and figure out what you really want.

    Crossover Episode: The Playbook We Find in Why England Slept

    Crossover Episode: The Playbook We Find in Why England Slept

    Crossover Episode for both The Causey Consulting Podcast and con-sara-cy theories.

    I recently read Why England Slept  and it sounds like it could be a playbook for how the public is led into conflicts, changes, social engineering, etc.

    What to do with a Backstabby Client

    What to do with a Backstabby Client

    There are plenty of articles about backstabbing coworkers, office gossips, and nightmare bosses. But what happens if we as business owners or professional freelancers onboard a client  who turns out to be a backstabber or a giant gossip? What then?

    My experience with "Billy" the Backstabber taught me some important lessons.

    What's Your Why?

    What's Your Why?

    What's your why? Why are you doing what you are doing? If you are thinking about starting a business - or you already have - why? Why did you choose that specific line of work? If you don't have the answers, you may not make it.

    Permanent Inflation & How This Affects Your Job

    10 Signs Your Business is in Serious Trouble

    10 Signs Your Business is in Serious Trouble

    One common question I receive from coaching or advisory clients is: how do you know a business is doomed to fail?

    Key topics:

    ✔️ Ownership sets the tone. If you are lazy yet you expect your employees to work hard, you are: a) a terrible boss and b) probably not gonna make it.
    ✔️ Does rejection crush your entire soul? Do you fly off the handle in a rage or burst into tears at the slightest rebuff?
    ✔️ Do you need the money or are you a spoiled housecat who won't even bother to catch a mouse?
     ✔️ If you don't believe in yourself and believe in what you're doing, no one else will either.
