"Don't focus on keeping your business alive. Focus on keeping your customers inspired." - Futurist Jim Carroll

In a downturn, you need to be customer-focused, not company-centered.
Crisis pulls you inward, but growth demands you look outward. And in a downturn, obsessing over evolving customer needs is how you find your next growth curve.

Look, when uncertainty strikes, it’s natural to look inward. Protect what you have. Defend your position. Hunker down and wait it out. But growth doesn’t come from within.

It comes from listening to the people you serve - your customers. In every downturn, the companies that come out stronger are those that never lose sight of one thing: customer behavior is changing faster than your business model. Economic volatility reshapes priorities:

-how customers spend
- what they value
- what they trust
- what they expect next

And in that shifting landscape lies your greatest opportunity—if you’re paying attention.

The thing is - your customers were already changing before this moment, but now it accelerating. Customer behavior was undergoing a massive transformation:

- customers became less loyal and far more demanding.
- they expected instant support, frictionless service, and constant innovation.
loyalty eroded fast—1 in 3 highly loyal customers in 2007 switched brands in 2008.
- they're more informed—often knowing more than your frontline staff.
- they expect your brand to match the pace of a global innovation feedback loop.
- their attention spans are short, buying behavior erratic, and brand expectations sky-high.
- peer networks and reviews now outweigh traditional marketing as purchase drivers.
- demographics are shifting—Gen Z and Gen Alpha expect personalization, ethics, and purpose.
- values are evolving fast: transparency, sustainability, authenticity, and speed now define success.

In this landscape, customer expectations don’t slow down during a downturn—they sharpen. That's because they are supersensitive to everything - price, quality, level of service. Their expectations of you go through the roof because it's their hard-earned money, and they want the best they can get!
In a downturn, companies don’t just survive because they “stay the course.”

They redefine the course based on where the customer is headed. This means that right now, you need to be obsessively customer-focused.

Almost 90% of Ukrainians do not trust Trump, poll shows

Only 7.4% trust, or rather trust the American leader, as opposed to 89% who do not trust him, according to the poll. In November, 47.2% of #Ukrainians didn’t #trust #Trump, according to the New #Europe Center, a figure that has almost doubled over the past five months.

I've been doing a lot of thinking around the nature of trust. I received the highly beneficial advice to think over who the most trustworthy people actually are, in my life. A diagram that looks like a bullseye was drawn, and I was invited to fill in actual names of people I know - where do they belong within the rings of the bullseye? The people in the middle are the most trustworthy, and the outermost rings are where the least trustworthy names go.

It was difficult to decide who's name belonged in which ring of the bullseye. So I assigned numbers to the rings of the bullseye. 1 was in the middle, 9 was right outside the bullseye. I then made a list of all the people I knew. I assigned them all numbers, then thought over the numbers, occasionally changing a number a little more or less.

When I was finished, I described the meaning of all the numbers, 1 through 9. This labeling made the most sense to me, to give more meaning to these numbers. Here they are:

1. Deep trust. Someone who totally accepts you as you are.

2. Someone who wouldn't betray you, has affinity with you, but you can't say they totally accept you as you are. They'd like to see you change.

3. A friend with a solid character, but affinity? Maybe.

4. A "fair-weather friend".

5. Any random stranger on the street. No positive or negative to speak of; still undefined and mysterious. No basis of judgement yet.

6. Negativity starts here, but it's very subtle and insidious; well hidden. Psychological predation and deception begins here. Plays mind games. Wants to come out looking better than you. Is certainly a "frenemy" or perhaps even worse, wants to turn you into a "flying monkey". A 6 has the mind of a perfect salesman or ambassador. Uses a lot of paltering; deceptive framing of everything. Plays on emotions a lot, seldom facts, unless they fit a narrative.

7. Corrupt. Has a mind of a racketeer.

8. Sketchy. Criminality begins here.

9. Predator. DANGEROUS

If #betrayalTrauma involves being betrayed by someone on whom you depend, what's the name for the trauma you experience when you're betrayed by someone you don't necessarily depend on but who you trusted nonetheless?

Not tech! People building first!

#Tech people are blind basically building the future trouble.

Only answer this poll if you're also #ActuallyAutistic - please refrain from answering if you're not autistic - thank-you.

Do you always know when someone isn't being completely truthful with you & have you experienced gaslighting from the ones that you knew weren't being fully honest?

It's a small detail but it shows the current way DOGE operates, it makes any trust in US cybersecurity, data and privacy protection dissappear. Not only for governments but also in company contexts. If DOGE is allowed to break all majors laws, US Government and the current oligarchs will also break any other contract or agreement if needed. Just like with immigrants there is no "rule of law".
