10 Lessons From a Down Economy (And How to Thrive Anyway)

  • Summary

  • What if the economy isn’t the problem—it’s the pressure that shapes you?

    In this first full episode of Growth Conversations with Ashley Frank, I take you back to 2007—when I started my sales career in the middle of a recession. It wasn’t glamorous. I had a headset, a script, and a list of cold leads who didn’t want to talk about online learning.

    But those early days taught me everything I needed to know about sales, mindset, and what it really means to grow when things are hard.

    In this solo episode, I break down 10 powerful lessons I learned during that season—lessons that still hold true in today’s uncertain economy. Whether you're navigating a downturn or just trying to find momentum, these insights will give you perspective, tools, and (hopefully) a bit of peace.

    🔑 In this episode:

    • The truth about success during a recession
    • Why “rejection” is a gift in disguise
    • How to stay grounded when it feels like everything’s changing
