Is Money Walking?

 

In this episode of the Ninja Selling podcast, Matt and Garrett begin by discussing the magic of the holiday season and how children's excitement about the holidays can make it even more special. They also talk about how the holiday season is a time when people are often a little bit nicer to each other, with more people stopping to chat and wish each other happy holidays. From there they review the importance of taking breaks and how, as children get older, they may be more interested in the break from school than the lights and other holiday traditions. 

Matt and Garrett go on to discuss the "how money walks" concept, or the movement of people and money between states in the United States. Our hosts reference a website that tracks this movement and note that some states are currently experiencing an influx of people and money, while others are seeing just the opposite. They also explore data from the Census Bureau which suggests that the pandemic has not significantly impacted the overall trend of declining rates of people moving between states. The implications of this trend for calculating the opportunity within someone's database and the potential impact on the housing market is also examined. Our Ninja duo round out this episode by highlighting the importance of building a long-term business strategy and maintaining a strong work ethic, regardless of market conditions.
