As I reflect on the year 2008, I want to thank all of my readers, fans, friends and family for the gift you have given me -Yourself.  As I reflect on the growth of this newsletter and its ever growing readership  all over the world I am humbled and very grateful to you all for listening and growing with me.  Thank you for your time and attention from the bottom of my heart and the depth of my soul!

 

During the last quarter of this year we have been bombarded by what a colleague of mine and I call FBNO (Financial Bad News Overload). I see the evidence of its effects in showrooms closing and less floor traffic. Friends and customers are closed and out of business when I visit.  It saddens me that many of my recent newsletters and product update letters get "bounceback responses" that say."Not a Valid Email Address".   

I am making a commitment to you, my growing readership base,  to constantly update my website with the latest business ideas and videos to help you weather the upcoming year.  For those of you born before 1980 you have weathered other economic storms and learned important lessons about tactics and strategy in the market. You know it is not always going to be this way, we have been through this before and we will survive this storm. I was 20 when I went through my first economic recession. I saw  those who understood how to adapt their businesses reap the rewards of greater market share when economic growth returned, as it always does.
