Market corrections are a completely natural part of the economic cycle.

And there are two ways you can view a correction.

The first is from a negative lens. Where you only see the doom and gloom that are told to us by the news.

But the second is from a positive lens. It’s keeping in mind that corrections are a huge opportunity.

 An opportunity to introspect on how the world will be different once the cycle inevitably goes back up.

And if you can critically think about this, and make logical assumptions of what's to come, this time could be a really great opportunity for you.

How do we understand what’s to come? What are the mental models we need to put in place to be ahead of the curve?

All of that and more to come in today’s episode.
