Here is a brief overview. She suggests five keys to success during a down economy:
1. Refuse to participate in the recession – don’t become paralyzed, continue to move forward with your business
2. Increase marketing and advertising – build your brand while others are pulling back
3. Innovate – consider new approaches and possibilities; some of the great businesses today were born during recessions
4. Become a talent magnet – it is a great time to find and attract the best talent
5. Think big, take action. – create your vision and take action
Don’t participate in a troubled economy – choose to thrive in it!
Have a great day!
