Inflation is out of control! So, Dear Readers, how can you attract wealth in times of crisis? In July, the Federal Reserve announced another 25-basis point hike, bringing the interest rate to 5.5%, the highest level in 22 years. As you’ve requested, we put together a crisis management hit list to help you navigate these stressful times and keep making progress on your wealth journey.
Welcome to the JMS blog, your hub for success tips for strategic branding management.
We are back and ready to answer all your branding questions, Dear Readers! If it is your first visit, this blog is the brainchild of JMStrategy LLC (JMS), a boutique crisis management consulting firm that offers strategic solutions to strengthen any brand in crisis. The JMS team gives new life to brands in free fall by designing tailor-made recovery plans to avoid behavioral or productivity inertia. It’s about making money, not losing it! Now, without further ado, let’s dive into everything you need to know about attracting wealth in times of crisis.
To attract wealth in times of crisis, get used to having self-compassion.
Dear Readers, this blog knows that money troubles are on your mind. In your emails, some of you wrote us that you put everything on credit cards just to be able to put food on the table and keep the lights on. Utilities are going up. Food staples have quadrupled, like the price of tater tots, which jumped from $2.99 to $5.99. Rent prices have skyrocketed like no tomorrow. Yes, we are indeed living in challenging times.
OK, let’s pause for a second and take a deep breath. Yes, life feels very unfair at this very moment. And yes, you have every right to feel frustrated and powerless. But, to remain continuously angry is too toxic for your mental health. Instead, why not cultivate self-compassion? The time to wish you had made different decisions is gone. To keep rethinking about all your money mistakes will send you to an early grave! Consequently, Dear Readers, now is the time to forgive yourself and to find new ways to remain positive even in the face of the most challenging economic times.
A positive mindset is the way to go.
Dear Readers, remember that what you put out in the universe comes right back to you. What goes around truly comes around! So, why waste time spewing negativity?
Comparison is a mindset killer.
Dear Readers, remember that success begins in your mind. If you can see it, you are halfway there. But if you spend all your time comparing yourself to what people show you on social media, you won’t have time to focus on your goals! Forget whatever you see on social media, Dear Readers! Take the time instead of deciding what you want the last part of 2023 to look like for you and your family. Will you be able to afford Thanksgiving and Christmas this year? Who knows! So much can happen in the next few months. Let’s not worry about it just yet! One thing is for sure. Since you have survived a global pandemic, you can do anything you put your mind to, no matter how tragic your current situation might be.
So, this blog invites you to grab a single sheet of paper and write down the goals you want to achieve before 2024. Tape the sheet on your bathroom mirror. Thus, as you see the physical reminder of your dreams, you will start to believe and eventually manifest what you want including finding a new job.
To attract wealth in times of crisis, you must cultivate a growth mindset daily.
If you want to attract wealth, Dear Readers, it means that you are willing to work harder, longer, and smarter than regular old folks. We are not minimizing anyone here. Holding a 9-5, coming home to cook for the family, and keeping the house clean can be an exhausting effort to sustain for years on end. All righty? Alright!
But, Dear Readers, assuming you have the emotional bandwidth to go after it and have fewer responsibilities holding your attention hostage, you want to cultivate a growth mindset daily. While there are no set rules, Dear Readers, you must carve a daily block of time to pursue whatever wealth-generating activity you desire.
For example, a JMS client started her consulting career as a side hustle while working a 9-5 as an attorney. As you can imagine, she worked very long lawyering for demanding partners and could only dedicate a two-hour daily block to cultivate a growth mindset. There was a lot to learn, and it took her five years to grow her side hustle into a full-fledged small business precisely because she had no husband and no children. Thus, she could chase her wealth-generating goals. So can you, Dear Readers! Let us know in the comments below if you agree!
Being open to change is a must to attract wealth in times of crisis!
Yes, Dear Readers, you probably hate change (like just about everyone on planet Earth) because it is soooooooo uncomfortable. Also, you must be willing to keep changing if you want to improve.
Follow like-minded people on social media.
Dear Readers, it is easier to be open to change when we see the change we strive to be. If you cannot interact with people because you are still working remotely (lucky you), consider following people already living the dreams you secretly hope to achieve. You can join Facebook (Metaverse) to ask questions, share wins or goals, discuss setbacks, and more. In short, Dear Readers, surrounding yourself with like-minded people is the best way to remain inspired and gain momentum on the wealth journey in a manner utterly impossible if you look inward and on your own.
Curate a daily goal practice.
Dear Readers, if you are serious about attracting wealth, you must commit to a daily practice that will bring you closer to your goals and be grateful to have survived another day!
Dear Readers, your effective daily goal practice could begin with writing one paragraph in your goal book. The purpose of this daily journal is to capture your hopes, dreams, and worries so that your mind is free to attack the rest of the day. To combat your mid-afternoon slump, you can catch up on your feed on X (formerly Twitter) to learn something or get some inspiration. As a short-form content medium, it requires minimum effort but can be incredibly galvanizing. It is easy to find accounts posting informative threads in your field of interest or industry-sharing contacts that leave you more motivated to keep fighting for what you want.
Dear Readers, now is not the moment to look for celebrity or political drama. Treat this time to cultivate a positive mindset. Do not follow anything that will not serve you, and focus on consuming content that can help bring you closer to your goals. And finally, Dear Readers, you can end the day by carving some time to write down your reflections or lessons you want to remember down the road. Journaling is a powerful habit to incorporate into your daily goal practice. Indeed, it helps you process any setbacks before they become full-blown crises. Journaling also helps cultivate gratitude so that you appreciate it all: the good, the bad, and the ugly on the way to achieving your dreams. Do you agree?

Creating a money routine is the best habit to attract wealth in times of crisis.
Dear Readers, The JMS team knows you are fighting to regain a certain level of financial footing amid this infuriatingly high inflation. Thus, it is the right time to discuss budgeting. Yes, no matter how overwhelmed you may feel, Dear Readers, you should stay on top of your money routine. Indeed, the best way to stop thinking about overdue invoices is to start planning how to spend your next paycheck right now. Rather than paying whatever bill arrived today in the mail, consider devising a robust strategy to achieve your money goals this year.
