She spends her days teaching a wide variety of students, many whom have come to her with problem and project horses, or have confidence issues in the saddle and on the ground. Tiffany believes in building confidence in both horse and rider to help make their goals a reality. Tiffany offers full and partial training, lessons, clinics, and coaching at shows. She specializes in eventing and dressage but also has a strong background in hunters/jumpers and equitation. Over the years she's shown her main horse Crown Royal, whom she brought along herself, in the 3'6" hunters, the meter jumpers, training level eventing, and up through 3rd level dressage. Along with teaching riders and training client or program horses, Tiffany also is working to bring along her 4 year old OTTB, Frozen, with plans for her to be her next upper level competition horse.For more info, kindly visit: morningsidestables.horse~~~~~~~~~~Thanks so much for listening!  Please write a review if you're inspired!

So a business you own is undergoing an event that's made the future less certain—so what's your next move as a value investor?  Finding the right time to sell can be difficult when the M.O. is to buy and hold, but knowing when to break with an investment can be just as important as knowing what to buy in the first place. Investing success hinges on finding antifragile companies—those that thrive in adversity and compound growth over time. Focusing on a few resilient businesses, rather than over-diversifying, leads to better long-term returns, especially during downturns. Rather than timing the market, investors should prioritize companies with strong fundamentals and compounding potential. Patience and discipline are vital to benefit from their growth through adversity. On this week's show, Phil and Danielle discuss how to approach your investments having events and what the Rule #1 philosophy can tell us about these situations.
