1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: What's up? This is the people shark haired Damon John 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: with another motivation moment for you courtesy of that moment 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: with Damon Don a production of The Black Effect podcast 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: Network and iHeartRadio Now. A study released by the Kalpin 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: Foundation found that over fifty percent of two thousand and 6 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: nine Fortune five hundred companies started either in a bear 7 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: market or full long recession bear meaning you know bear 8 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 1: like the animal meaning bad market. So that means that 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine when they studied that fifty 10 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: percent of the Fortune five hundred companies, that is a 11 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty companies started in a recession or 12 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: a bear market. Now, how and why should we learn 13 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: from that? Well, it shows you that people such as 14 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: yourselves who are taking the time to listen to me 15 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: and educate me and educate yourselves as wealth are not stopping. 16 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: And in recessions people become super creative and launch really 17 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: amazing companies. Now, you may be somebody saying I don't 18 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: want to launch company. I love getting my paycheck and 19 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: I love my vacation dates. Okay, but there's going to 20 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: be somebody else know launch company, who's going to need 21 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: your help, who's going to need you to be the 22 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: superstar attorney, accountant, coder, social media expert, the public relations 23 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: person or something of that nature. But you could either 24 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: look at it that way or you can go around 25 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: the world and I'm sure of the Shark Tank followers 26 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: and the Damon John follow don't look at it like 27 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: what was me. You could look at it and like, listen, 28 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: these things are being done. People are not stopping and 29 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: things are being created. And I think that that is extremely, 30 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: extremely important because it gives you confidence. It gives you 31 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: the ability to say, well, if they can do, why 32 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: can't I what exactly is stopping you from doing whatever 33 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: you want to do.
