Introduction

It’s no secret that crises periodically shake the economy. From time to time, the world plunges into another crisis, panic occurs in the market at this moment, currency rates start to jump, people lose money… This is normal. A crisis is normal. The main thing is not to lose your head and get out of the crisis without losses or even with a small plus.

There are two models of human behavior during a crisis :

1. Start to panic, fuss, try to fix something, try to do what you didn’t manage to do in time and… become even poorer.

2. To preserve the resource state, no matter what chaos is happening around, calmly reconsider your attitude to life, grow a little and… get out of the crisis richer than before.

The first pattern of behavior is typical for 98% of people. The second model is the behavior model of the richest and most successful people. Those very notorious 2% who determine the fate of this world.

Do you want to understand how 2% of the richest and most successful people act in a crisis? Read on for more details.

P.S. Initially, the book was written in Russian and only after that it was translated into English. Due to the specific differences between Russian and English, the author could allow minor inaccuracies in the translation. Do not judge strictly, for the English language for the author is not native. If possible, treat indulgently with possible mistakes and wrong words in the text. Remember that only those who do nothing do not make mistakes! Try to understand the essence of what the author wanted to say. Then you will get the most benefit from reading this book.
