Welcome to the Been There, Sold That podcast, where we provide valuable sales and business insights to help you grow your business efficiently, effectively, and profitably! In this episode, hosts Brianna Hendley and Phil Whitebloom tackle the theme of navigating crises in business with a focus on progress rather than panic.

As they kick off the conversation, Brianna and Phil share their personal health journeys and the adjustments they’ve made for better well-being, including recording this episode while standing. They transition to discussing the critical topic of crises and how to approach them constructively instead of succumbing to fear and anxiety.

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

✔ How to view problems as opportunities rather than obstacles in times of crisis.

✔ Practical steps to take when facing tough situations, including identifying alternatives and solutions.

✔ The importance of maintaining a forward-thinking mindset and the value of having a coach to guide you through challenges.

Phil references the insightful work of Bob Berg and John David Mann, particularly focusing on a quote from Henry Kaiser: “Problems are opportunities in work clothes.” This serves as a reminder that while crises can be overwhelming, they often reveal paths for growth and innovation if approached with the right mindset.

The hosts emphasize that crises don’t typically sneak up on us; instead, they are often the result of ignored problems that escalate. They encourage listeners to address issues head-on before they develop into larger crises, advocating for a proactive approach to problem-solving.

🔥 Takeaway: In the face of a crisis, take a step back, breathe, and focus on the possibilities. By recognizing the choices available to you and addressing problems proactively, you can turn challenges into opportunities for growth.
