At a mastermind meeting recently with several real estate entrepreneurs, I asked:

What lessons have you learned from the real estate market bubble-burst and this recession?

I was stunned to learn that many real estate agents haven’t taken any lessons from this mess. I, myself, have learned many. In fact, I am keeping a little notebook in which I record the new lessons I am taught — which is almost daily. I am hoping to keep this little notebook handy for the next recession we go through, whenever that time comes around.

Let me share some of the lessons I have learned.

1. Credit lines WILL disappear. This includes business and personal credit lines. My lender froze my home equity loan. I’m sure your lender did too. The BIG lesson here is to build large cash reserves. Don’t think that your credit lines will be available when you need them. They won’t. Or borrow from your credit lines early and put the money in a savings account and make the interest payments.

2. New credit will be difficult to access. Your credit score won’t matter much. See No. 1 above.

3. Business opportunities change quickly. You must be proactive and spotting and adapting to these changes. What are larger businesses doing to adapt? Copy their strategies within your business.Where is the money in your marketplace. Pay attention. Follow the money. Be decisive. Change quickly.

4. Clients will become very nervous about buying and selling. Understand this shift in their thinking. Change your client communications accordingly.

5. Always keep your overhead low. Overhead will take you down very quickly. Don’t take on large office space. Don’t take on too many employees. Don’t take on large fixed expenses within your business. Try and keep your business expenses variable. You can reduce these expenses quickly, if need be.

6. Do what it takes to improve customer service immediately. When the market was moving like gang-busters, agents let their customer service slip. This was a mistake, and one that needs to be corrected now. Go above and beyond for your customers. Do not give them reason to take their business elsewhere.

7. Look for ways to offer lower prices on services or products. When money becomes tight, your clients will look more to price than anything else. Be prepared to quickly adjust your pricing to remain competitive.

8. You have to have multiple income streams in place. When times are good, prepare for leaner times by creating multiple income streams. Diversify, so that losing one source of income doesn’t mean disaster. Multiple sources of income are like life rafts on a big ship; they can save you from drowning.

9. Cash gives you the ability to lock in massive wealth. You’ve heard the saying - “Cash is King”, haven’t you? It’s true. If you have cash in a down market and the courage to invest it, you’ll build wealth very, very quickly. Homes can be purchased for pennies on the dollar. Stocks can be acquired at rock bottom prices. Buy when others are selling and sell when others are buying.

I hope this article will help you eliminate mistakes in your business. Lessons like the ones taught in this recession will continue to be delivered to you. Eventually, you have to learn them. It’s best to learn them the first time around!
