Has the Economy Influenced Your Thinking or Behavior?

[Larry Brauner]

The world financial crisis has had a profound effect on the global economy.

What changes have occurred in your thinking or behavior to adapt to the new reality? What further changes do you anticipate making?

I have become more appreciative of my job and more careful about my spending in every category. I'm looking at ways to profit from the economic slowdown and from the recovery that will ensue.

What are your thoughts?

[Chuck Bartok]

The Only Economy that affects us personally is the one WE Create.

Yes there have been 3 cycles in my Lifetime and we needed
to adjust accordingly.

An example of current economic conditions is reflected in our
Animal Housing Business.
We enjoyed a "Hay Day" the past few years with the ridiculous Borrowing by People
against their Homes and Buying our Products.

But we saw the writing on the wall, in early 2008, and immediately started emphasizing
on other product lines and "affordable" housing.
Total sales are down, but more than sufficient to
cover expenses and Profit structure.

Again realizing trends, I jumped back into
Food Production and Information Creation in
the Sustainable Gardening Market.

The opportunities for Wealth Building has been the same for 100's of years.
Actually better now with Mass communication.
Anyone caught with their Pants down has no one to blame than themselves.

Our generation was taught to always have secondary and tertiary Income Streams and
NEVER rely on anyone else for Sustenance.

Our Members, who applied effort, this past year have all enjoyed
increased Abundance.

Many have divested themselves of JOBS and
are now enjoying the Comfort of
Self-directed income.

The Power of Thinking for Yourself is Awesome, and our God Given Right

Larry, the economy has allowed me turn away from myself and lean on Higher help. I have also learned that I am not alone either. It is people like you who have come along side me and helped me in small and big ways. I believe more than ever the need for community. We are not islands unto ourselves. We must bring community to the business world.
These are some of the changes that I have experienced.
Thank you for giving me a platform to express myself.

Yes, just like most I am aware of the news talk about the recession and the fear associated with it.
I decided to pay more attention to the 90% who do have jobs and focus less on the 10% who are out of work.
My client base is the 90% and that's what I pay attention to.
How can I best serve them?

Smiles,
Donna
