Recession Proof Your Small Business - How to Thrive in Any Economy


Your audience will learn how to position their business to thrive (not just survive) any economic condition that comes along.  Don't let the news of the day hijack your preparations, plans, or prosperity.  Learn what NOT to do from business giants like Apple, Best Buy, and Starbucks; all of whom faced extinction on their journey to success. Key takeaways include specific actionable steps you can implement immediately to ensure the long-term strength of your business.

Takeaway: Make difficult decisions to get your business back on track. That means cutting costly projects and eliminating expenses.

Takeaway: Experiment. Try something new. If you fail, it’s OK. Learn from it and quickly adjust your strategy.

Takeaway: If your product or service isn’t selling, go back to the drawing board. Check that you are marketing to the right audience with the right product for them at the right time.

Takeaway: Adding a product or service may be all you need to turn your sales numbers around.


 



Rita Thomas

Owner

Rita Thomas is an Entrepreneur, Photographer, Automation Specialist, Speaker, and Air Force Veteran who is committed to showing entrepreneurs how to make the most of all their assets.

Her skill and passion for showing others how to automate their business for more success
and peace of mind was born of her own need to streamline her business.
Like many entrepreneurs, Rita started her first business, professional photography, while
still working a full-time job, holding onto the dream of being full-time in her own business.
That dream felt elusive at times, until Rita discovered how to use automation to increase her
part-time revenue to the point where it replaced her full-time income. Rita now shares the
same systems that saved her sanity and allowed her dream to come true with other
entrepreneurs through training and automation systems.

Rita lives in Knoxville, TN and still enjoys serving professionals, families and individuals with
her photograph services. She is the proud mother of 2 grown children and “Oma” to 4
grandchildren.
