Reacting VS Responding | Plan over Panic
Tuesday Sep 06, 2022
Tuesday Sep 06, 2022
When adversity or the unexpected strikes your business, what's your first instinct? For many it's to immediately jump into action and react, and for others it's to sit, assess, and respond. The level of urgency often depicts which is appropriate, but when you have a moment to respond with a plan, it's almost always a better outcome. Today, Xander talks about the differences and why he's a supporter of responding over reacting.

When the character and reputation of yourself or your business comes into question, who can vouch for you? When someone you work with comes into question, are you at risk of collateral damage? Our reputation as business owners is everything. With the recent fallout of the Andrew Tate controversy and the apologies of Manti Te'o, Alex and David talk about the importance of integrity, honor, and character with who we choose to associate with, and more importantly, who we choose to be everyday.

Why the Down to Business Podcast?
"I started the Down to Business Podcast to help other small business owners navigate the trials and celebrate the victories that come with a company. Small business owners all over the country are so gifted at their craft, but struggle with the secondary tasks like accounting, marketing, business strategy, vision casting, and so much more. That's why the Down to Business Podcast exists, to give small business leaders a resource they can learn from while remaining on the go.
We're blessed to have you as listener, and we believe this podcast over time can make you a better business owner, friend, spouse, and leader."
