Hello there, my fellow business building warrior. How are you today? I hope you're doing great. Thanks for listening to Silent Sales Machine Radio. This is your host, Jim Cochrom. Of course, as always, you can get all show notes and details. Any links that I mentioned at SilentGim.com. So no matter what you're doing while you're listening today, you don't have to

write down notes. Just listen, enjoy, take in the content, hopefully be challenged, encouraged,

inspired. And if there's any links that I mentioned or anything that you want to go back and

reference later, it's all going to be in the show notes again at silent gem.com. So let's talk about

2020. It's upon us. As I'm recording this, Christmas is coming at us fast. You may be listening to

this right around Christmastime 2019 or shortly after that. I encourage you try to keep up to date

with this show because, while it is

90% evergreen, about 10% or so of our content is going to be timely information that you'll

want to take advantage of. But no matter when you're listening to this show today, I think you're

going to enjoy what I've got to share with you today because the topic is, what's the forecast

for 2020?

For those of us who are building businesses online, as you know, I've been doing this for a long

time now. I've been earning money online for over 20 years. It's been my full-time gig,

multiple streams of income, for over 17 years now. And so my observations and prognostications

maybe carry a little more weight than the next guys. But I do my best to add in plenty of

evidence, plenty of facts and data to back up when I take stabs at what the future hold. And I can tell you this,

looking at the landscape, looking at everything that's happened the past few years, looking

into the future as best as any of us possibly can. It's impossible to truly do that, of course,

but what are the indicators? The bottom line is, I feel very optimistic, very positive, very encouraged by what I'm seeing, very few negatives on the horizon, especially for those who are paying attention as part of our community.

And I'll be very specific about what that means here in just a moment.

We're doing some things that have never been done before in the industry, and we're very happy to have you along for the ride.

You're a big part of what we're building around here, actually.
