Turn off the news!
With all the doom and gloom in the news today, it would be easy to believe there is nothing positive coming out of our current global economic situation. I am not belittling those many very unfortunate situations in which people have been very adversely affected. However, I, for one, and many of my friends and clients believe now is the time to look for and create positive opportunities.
It is easy to get caught up in what you hear on CNN and the news stations. Turn it off! And get turned on to all the good things that are going on around you. Opportunity abounds, but only if you are looking for it and decide to take advantage of it.
Refocus in order to grow!
From whom and from where will the next breakthrough come? From you? From your company? Stranger things have happened. Rather than focusing on down sizing, cutting costs and laying off people, focus on what it would take to increase sales or launch that new opportunities which could grow your business rather than shrink it. Raising capital and increasing capacity rather than struggling to cut costs and reduce investments in your company and your people is not only exciting, it is a positive growth strategy rather than a declining negative approach.
Best of luck. Let me know the stories from your own experiences.
