🚨 It's time to build a recession-resistant business!🚨 If you're in the construction industry, the time is NOW to dive into federal contracting.

Here’s why: The federal government offers stability and continuous opportunities, especially when private markets fluctuate. If you already have relationships with federal agencies, you're ahead of the curve. For those newly entering the federal space, now’s your chance to get in front of it.

If you're going to invest in property based on this type of "announcements", you might well find yourself in big trouble...just like those hopefuls that bought 10 years ago in Fourways because they trusted either some politicians or some agents telling them that "the Gautrain is coming"...that's property speculation and it (most often) ends up in great disappointment https://lnkd.in/e9iNAHjK #propertyeducation #propertycoach #mzansiproperty #propertyinvestor

Well here we go again, treading in the previous disastrous model's foot steps. Nonsense rhetoric trying to justify more of the same unreliable, short term demands of the city carpet baggers. Do they think we are all daft? Why is Steve Reed tone deaf to the publics demand for a not-for profit model? As in Welsh Water? He has not addressed it, either publicly or privately. Today seen cosying up to the suits, asking, nay begging, them what rate of return they might want to gouge out of the humble local water payers bill so that the suits can tip down the throats of the transient foreign interlopers. This isn't a Labour Government, it is a Government labouring on which way to turn for the easiest ride. Here are the latest pathetic words of the transient Env Sec. " With the new Government, the water sector will become one of growth and opportunity. Working with investors, we will attract billions in private-sector investment." Tosh! The water sector is not a commercial, free market opportunity. Reliability not risk is the key. At its core it is a regulated local monopoly. The local community want a trustworthy, reliable water company providing local and dependable water and wastewater services and protecting their local and cherished water environment. Do today's Wallet-Wonga audience care about that? Are the guardrails of market risk a reassurance? No read loud and long Thames Water investors track record over 20 years! The poster boy of city exploitation. Reed, Reeves, and the Treasury, are using the water sector as a throw-away overseas pawn and stalking horse to attract international investment for other areas of the economy. The essential-for-life local water and wastewater service, and environment was never conceived to be propped up by these wide boys. Doesn't any politician learn from history - even if its only the last 14 years? Reed it and learn Env Secretary.....

"If you keep chasing money 💸 right now, you won't have a business in five years." Ouch, Dad. that hurts. But he's right. His advice continued (that's certainly how it felt)  📑 You are just in the early stage of your business, this is the foundation for you! 🔖 I'm not telling you to work for free. It’s hard to admit it, but ultimately money is such an important thing, and that will always be your major driving force. But at this point money should be your third priority. 1️⃣ Focus on honing your skills, networking, and gaining knowledge. Strengthen your foundation, so that you can build more storey’s later (My dad is a civil engineer/business person, so there’s his construction analogy.) 2️⃣ The actual building stage. Explore the sub-niches and sub-areas you didn’t focus earlier. Expand your expertise and gain diverse experience in each ones. 3️⃣ Finally, here 🏨 comes the money and all other the glittery stuff. Once you've solidified the first two aspects 🤝 Then you can shift your attention to scaling and making money. 🚨 And that’s how you make your business foundation stronger 💪 I know this concept is well known, but sometimes we go off-track ⏲ So, I want to remind 💬 you to reflect on the stage you're in and refocus if needed. #businessgrowth #foundationbuilding #priorities
