229

00:31:07.980 – > 00:31:14.730

Ashley Ryan: Some. There’s a lot of things happening in the world. A lot of big changes and big changes for your business and big changes, personally.

230

00:31:15.030 – > 00:31:29.280

Ashley Ryan: And there’s a lot of power right now that we’re putting in the government and how that stability is there. So, David, what are your thoughts around the government supporting us and how that looks. In time wise and everything, especially for businesses.

231

00:31:29.700 – > 00:31:38.460

David DiNardo: So always my thought what the government or anyone that could potentially have control your business is don’t rely on them. Right.

232

00:31:38.850 – > 00:31:51.270

David DiNardo: as business owners, the reason why we’re entrepreneurs is because we want. We like the control of our business and we want that freedom or to take our business to the next level and not worry about all the bureaucracy.

233

00:31:52.200 – > 00:32:02.850

David DiNardo: What’s happening with the Canadian government right now is they’re doing a lot of great things. There’s been a lot of changes and their minds are in the right place. I completely support that.

234

00:32:03.270 – > 00:32:23.460

David DiNardo: However, this started march 15 it’s April 17 right now and we still haven’t received from our clients perspective, from my perspective, any of the major initiatives, haven’t we haven’t seen the monetary value. Come back to us.

235

00:32:24.480 – > 00:32:32.070

David DiNardo: A couple of, for example, you know, they’re talking about this wage subsidy. It got approved last Saturday.

236

00:32:33.030 – > 00:32:43.950

David DiNardo: Has the application process is still not there. When would we ever see the money come into the account. So the government’s asking us, hey, keep your employees.

237

00:32:44.640 – > 00:32:56.040

David DiNardo: For the next X amount of weeks or X amount of months. Let us give you 75% wage subsidy, but I don’t know when the application process is going to be ready and I don’t know what you’re going to get the money.

238

00:32:57.030 – > 00:33:13.710

David DiNardo: Their minds are right, but we can’t rely on that and business owners are calling me all the time being, like, Hey, Dave. Once the application process ready ones. The application process and it’s changing on a daily basis. So as their advisors. I’m trying to tell them

239

00:33:14.940 – > 00:33:27.480

David DiNardo: Definitely it’s coming down the pipeline, but focus on your cash flow. Now, and focus on making money right now or not making money and finding solutions rather than wait for the government.

240

00:33:27.900 – > 00:33:28.920

Ashley Ryan: Yeah, I think.

241

00:33:28.950 – > 00:33:30.180

Ashley Ryan: People can control.

242

00:33:30.420 – > 00:33:33.330

David DiNardo: Things you can control. So I always recommend that

243

00:33:34.410 – > 00:33:41.880

David DiNardo: Unfortunately, the government is playing a bigger perfectly. Now, which is great. However, you got to really

244

00:33:42.570 – > 00:33:57.060

David DiNardo: start cutting costs start doing all the little things in order to prolong this so when the funds do come to you, you’re able to be actually you instead of survive, you’re able to kind of thrive and position yourself better

245

00:33:57.270 – > 00:33:58.920

David DiNardo: And Cobra 19 is done.

246

00:33:59.190 – > 00:34:04.500

Ashley Ryan: Yeah, so we need to be flexible and be changing gears and kind of always looking at the opportunities versus

247

00:34:05.310 – > 00:34:11.640

Ashley Ryan: But I know everybody who’s watching as a business owner has those inherent qualities in them. That’s probably why you do well in business.
