1119: What Would Lu Do?: This Is the Difference Between Business Owners Who Wait and Those Who Act


Listen Later

Today With LuAnn Nigara:

Right now, the economy feels shaky. Projects are slowing down. And if you're like a lot of business owners, you're wondering: Is it just me? Is something wrong? Should I be doing something—or should I be bracing for impact?

In this WWLD episode, LuAnn walks you through what truly separates business owners who ride out uncertainty with strength—and those who quietly slide into chaos.

You'll hear:

  • 3 free strategies (and 1 must-do mindset shift) to stabilize your business today
  • A powerful story of two designers—same market, totally different outcomes
  • Why marketing should never stop (yes, even now)
  • What LuAnn University has become in Fall 2025—and how it's now structured like a real business degree built for our industry

    Whether you enroll in a class or not, this episode is a business coaching session in your ears. If you're feeling off, overwhelmed, or unsure—press play and take back control.
