I read a great excerpt from a book about how to look at solving problems.

With the horror of the 2009 economy starting to fade most businesses I know are digging out as if from a typhoon. Income is down, accounts payable is up, customers are asking more for less and after all that we have to compete with the internet and its uber-cheap products from somewhere else. All of this can look overwhelming and when the solution to the problem is “I need more customers but have no money and the economy sucks,” then no reasonable solution presents its self.

What to do?

Rather than looking at solving the whole problem, try replicating what IS working for you. Fact is you must have some money coming in so look at that and see what you can do to boost that activity. I shared the story that Jessica Braverman told about how she had to change her business last year. She ended up having a better year than the year before. Basically rather than solving the big problem, which was a crappy economy, she looked at what was working for her and did those things. Worked for her and it could work for you.

So try looking for what is working in your business and you should be able to thrive even in a down economy. If you need help with tha call me. I have been know to think very differently!
