Financial “meltdown”. Bank failures. Stock market crashes, Global Warming. National debt. Wars on two fronts. Iranian atomic bombs. Crooked politicians. Thieving Wall Street Fund managers. Failing auto sales. Do you wnat me to go on?
Bad news is everywhere. Some of my freinds seem to be caught up in a negative spiral of worry and frustration such as I have never seem. A couple others are in real trouble. they were planning to live on income froma 401K that now doesn’t seem to be able to produce as much money as a neighborhood paper route.
Some have mortgage payments they can’t meet and a home value that can’t cover their debt. Others are over their heads in credit card debt. Wow. A great time to pull in your horns and do nothing, isn’t it?
Well maybe so. But I don’t think so. And neither does my freind Darren:
… I’m hearing quite a few bloggers feeling a little unsure and threatened by the financial crisis that our world is in. While I understand the concern I’m working on expanding in this time rather than consolidating. I don’t think it’s a time for crazy risks – but I think continuing to focus upon building and expanding your online presence is a wise move in these times….
Is Darren crazy? Am I? I’m expanding too.
Truth is, sure, we may both be crazy, but it’s my view we are “crazy like a fox”. I don’t thbnk there has ever been a better time for growth and here’s a few of the reasons I think that is true:
- The Internet has jnot stopped growing, it’s expanding still becuase in tight economic times the ‘Net represents the best way to expand business for the lowest cost.
- Advertising and targeted searches to all my very narrow ‘niche’ areas has been increasing at a very staisfying rate.
- online are ven cheaper then ever before to start. Blogs can be totally free, other sites can be free as well and the stream of free traffic from social media and ever-more sophisticated search engines is growing exponentially.Always a bargain, new blogging and other entrepreneurial ventures
- So if you’re unsure of the future (and what thinking person isn’t, really?) invest in the one thing you can always count on … you.
