Are you an entrepreneur or small business owner wondering how to survive a bad economy? Look no further than the advice of Vic Keller, a serial entrepreneur and private equity expert. In a recent episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, Keller shared his insights on how to prepare for and navigate difficult times.
One key takeaway? Be both a pessimist and an optimist. While it’s important to be realistic about the challenges ahead, it’s equally crucial to seize opportunities when they arise. Keller also stressed the importance of focusing on efficiency and protecting margins, as well as retaining and serving your customers through increased marketing and promotion.
But perhaps the most important factor in building a successful business? People. Keller emphasized the need for a talented and passionate team, and advised entrepreneurs to surround themselves with tenacious, ferocious learners who understand the economy. He also stressed the importance of treating employees as partners, rather than just employees.
So, whether you’re just starting out or trying to weather a storm, remember these key lessons: be adaptable, customer-focused, and efficient; stay true to your principles and mission; and surround yourself with the right people. And don’t forget to stay legal, ethical, and moral in your business practices. With these tips in mind, you’ll be better equipped to survive and thrive in tough times.
At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
