Even if you know a downturn is coming, how do you plan for it? We sat down for a conversation with women business owners who experienced past recessions and have made it out the other side.

In this interactive session, we discussed survival tactics and answered some key questions, including:

• Why should you plan for financial hardships?
• What can you do when the business slows down?
• What does it mean to pivot?
• Where can you get support for your business?
  

By the end of the recording, you will feel more confident about taking charge of the factors you can control, and understand where you can turn to for support.
