Welcome to The Dealer Download, powered by RS&I.
Starting a business out of desperation feels urgent. But urgency alone isn’t a strategy.
During periods of economic pressure, necessity-driven entrepreneurship rises. People start businesses because they have to, not because the timing is perfect. That pressure can create focus, hustle, and momentum. It can also distort judgment, shorten time horizons, and quietly undermine long-term growth.
In this episode of The Dealer Download, we take a grounded, research-backed look at desperation-driven entrepreneurship and the difference between survival mode and strategic building.
This conversation isn’t about discouraging action.
It’s about building with discipline rather than panic.
