During a “Recession”, it’s easy to think that making progress is impossible. We can become so depressed by the bad news, we forget about many businesses that thrive today because they learned how to operated a “lean” business because they were started during “lean” times. It’s said that half the Fortune 500 companies today got their start during a “recession”!

You know it just goes to show that necessity really is the mother of invention. Whenever I find myself becoming nervous because I’m in a pinch and not able to do anything productive, I need to remind myself that those times when I’m pressed on every side are the times I HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD. And it is those times I really do make progress. After I dump coffee a few times from shaky hands. LOL but I am learning at this hard economic time that if you will pull it together you will succeed because you HAVE TO. My friend just recently said to me, “What about the 8% who don’t have jobs its so alarming”. Then she said, “but NOBODY is talking about the 92% who do have jobs”. I wonder why we focus on the worst when its not necessarily that bad after all. Now is the best time to get in, jump in, swim in, dive in, however you want to do it. Now you should become an entrepreneur when YOU HAVE TO. I think so anyway. I hope this blessed someone’s socks off today. You have a WONDERFUL BLOG HERE By the Way. *-) Sincerely, Claire
