businessa enterprisea cyclea froma howa Ia experienceda ita workinga fora mya firsta fulla timea joba outa ofa
Higha School.a Ia workeda fora Homea Depota ina thea statea ofa Illinoisa duringa thea 1990's,a duringa thata
timea ita expandeda wella anda thea stocka splita 6a timesa ina thea 90sa decade.a Thea firsta phasea woulda
bea Economica Expansiona theya spenta $150a million,a buyinga outa aa Canadiana warehousea chaina
anda nexta yeara openeda outletsa ina Mexico.a Duringa thea Whilea workinga therea anda livinga ata homea
Ia investeda thea maxa ofa 20%a ofa mya paychecka anda boughta thea stocka ata aa 15%a discount,a Witha
momentum,a thea companya reacheda thea peakeda phasea arounda thea enda ofa 1996.a Aftera thata
growtha phase,a nota thata mucha longera aftera thata Ia woulda saya ina thea 2000'sa ina whicha Homea
Depota begana toa experiencea Contractiona begana raisinga itsa prices,a whicha drovea customersa
awaya toa itsa competitorsa sucha asa Menardsa anda Acea Hardwarea etc.a Ata thea samea timea thea upa
anda cominga Biga Boxa competitora Lowesa wasa expandinga froma thea easta coasta ofa thea Uniteda
Statesa toa thea Midwest.a Whicha effecteda thea bottoma linea ofa thea Homea Depota companya anda itsa
stocka price,a asa ita hada toa competea witha thea marketa gettinga itsa dividinga itsa sharea ofa customera
base.a Thea companya dida reacha thea trougha phasea whena customersa gota overa theira excitementa
ofa thea newa Lowesa granda openingsa aftera aa fewa years.a Thea foura phasesa ofa thea businessa cyclea
includea economica expansion,a peak,a contraction,a anda trough.a Thea expansiona phasea isa aa perioda
ofa growtha witha ina thea economy.a Thea nexta phasea isa thea peaka phasea whicha isa whena thingsa starta
toa levela outa anda staya consistenta amongsta thea economy.a Ita meansa thingsa aren'ta necessarilya
decreasing,a buta they'rea nota increasinga either.a Thea nexta phasea isa contractiona ora recession.a
Thisa isa whena thea economya startsa toa decrease.a Thea lasta phasea isa trough,a aftera thea decreasea wea
slowlya starta toa seea aa positivea changea anda impacta withina thea economy.a Thea twoa phasesa Ia
woulda choosea area expansiona anda trough.a Ia currentlya worka ina aa colda storagea warehousea
whicha Ia learneda duringa thea pandemica isa ana essentiala linea ofa businessa asa wea storea
frozen/coolera foodsa fora aa lota ofa majora companies.a Priora toa pandemica wea hada madea somea
expansionsa toa oura warehousea thata alloweda usa toa opena thea doorsa toa morea customersa ora
alloweda oura currenta customera toa upa theira currenta storagea capacity.a Fasta forwarda toa thea trougha
phase,a Ia feela likea thisa expansiona burneda outa aa lota ofa oura employeesa anda wea losta quitea ofa fewa
workersa duringa thisa expansion.a Oura companya expecteda oura teama toa puta ina 10+a hoursa aa daya
anda alsoa volunteera ona thea weekends,a whilea wea stilla opena thea doorsa toa newa customers.a Wea
expandeda aa lota ofa thingsa arounda oura warehousea includinga thea amounta ofa trucksa oura teama cana
handlea ona aa dailya basis.a Duringa thisa learninga processa oura teama finallya rana thea dataa ofa thea
whata oura teama isa actuallya capablea ofa anda wasa ablea toa helpa limita thea amounta ofa worka wea
requireda froma oura team.a Thisa broughta upa thea morala arounda thea worka forcea anda evena broughta
morea employeesa througha thea doors.a Thea foura phasesa ofa thea businessa cyclea includea economica
peak,a recession,a trough,a anda expansion.a Startinga witha expansion.a Aa speedupa ina thea pacea ofa
economica activitya isa defineda bya higha growth,a lowa unemployment,a anda increasinga prices.a Thea
perioda isa markeda froma trougha toa peak.a Thea peaka isa whata happensa ata thea enda ofa thea
expansiona phase,a thea economya reachesa aa peaka ofa economica activitya anda thena transitionsa intoa
aa contraction.a Aa contraction/recessiona isa aa slowdowna ina thea pacea ofa economica activitya
defineda bya lowa ora stagnanta growth,a higha unemployment,a anda declininga prices.a Ita isa thea
perioda froma peaka toa trough.a Finally,a trougha isa thea lowesta turninga pointa ofa aa businessa cyclea ina
whicha aa contractiona turnsa intoa ana expansion.a Thisa turninga pointa isa alsoa calleda recovery.Aa
real-lifea eventa thata wea area alla experiencinga today,a isa thea currenta recessiona wea havea comea upa
against.a Sincea Ia begana mya employmenta ata Wal-Marta duringa thea beginninga ofa thea covida
pandemic,a Ia havea watcheda thea pricesa doublea ona prettya mucha everythinga ina thea store.a Ia havea
watcheda asa peoplea panickeda anda emptieda thea shelvesa causinga aa shortagea ina essentiala
products.a Ia havea watcheda fooda portiona sizesa dropa asa thea pricea wenta up.a Ia feela ifa peoplea
woulda havea stayeda calma duringa thosea timesa ofa panic,a thena wea woulda nota bea ina asa bada ofa aa
positiona anda perhapsa coulda havea avoideda thisa economica recession.a Businessesa enjoya
differenta statesa ina theira lifetime.a Thesea phasesa definea howa thea businessa operatesa anda thea
profitabilitya level,a amonga othera importanta thingsa ina thea businessa cycle.a Thea foura importanta
phasesa includea expansion,a peak,a recession,a anda trough.a Froma thea onset,a thea businessa startsa toa
growa anda experiencea expansiona wherea employmenta anda marketa tenda toa growa significantly.a
Essentially,a thea businessa movesa forwarda toa thea peaka wherea thea economya isa high,a anda therea isa
ana increaseda demanda fora goodsa anda servicesa ina thea market.a However,a therea isa alsoa thea
recessiona perioda whena thea businessesa anda thea economya tenda toa slowa anda decline.a Thisa statea
hasa lowa demanda fora goodsa anda servicesa anda essentiala lowa purchasinga power.a Duringa thisa
period,a therea wasa aa lowa employmenta ratea causeda bya thea declininga economy.a Ata thea trough,a
businessesa tenda toa experiencea ana enda toa recessiona thougha thea economya isa ata thea lowesta level.a
Witha thea recenta changesa ina thea market,a mosta businessesa havea continueda toa experiencea aa
recessiona duea toa thea dwindlinga economy.a However,a aftera thea slowdowna ofa thea recenta
pandemica anda thea enactmenta ofa newa laws,a therea area bettera economica hopesa thata makea ita
