He is a business growth guru guiding his clients to double their profit and double their revenue in just three years or less. Cameron has been paid to speak in 26 countries, a top-rated lecturer at EO/MIT’s Entrepreneurial Masters Programme, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Operating Officer Leadership events around the world.

Always look at the brighter side. The downturn is the best time to step up and grow your wealth. The best time to get ahead from everyone in business, invest in relationships, and in you. It has been proven by Cameron’s experience on the past recessions and depressions. He never hides in fear but learns to adapt to the situation and apply the right mindset. He had bought multiple shares in big companies at a very low price and was able to grow his assets when everybody was in shock and distress.

Moreover, you must be wise about how you spend your time, especially on social media because it’s taking away the time you are going to spend on marketing, sales, & driving your business forward. Everyone must be strategic on applying the time, money, and people in the right area and getting away from doom and gloom. Instead, think about how you are proactively going to grow during this time. 

Stop consuming your time on uncontrollable things. According to Cameron, “God grants the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”  Thus, find the things you can control and control those. Surround yourself with the people in alignment with your core values, and consume content from different perspectives. Because there’s a lot of opportunities to grow your skills set and your mindset right now as thought leaders are giving away more content than ever for free.

This is a good time for an abundance mindset and people to focus on their growth!
