The Media Says. . .
"Home prices across the country continued to fall in January at record rates while one measure of consumer confidence reached a five-year low. The decline in housing prices has been compounded by a general sense of gloom about the economy." -- The New York Times
"The head of Caterpillar Inc., the world's largest maker of earthmoving equipment, said on Wednesday the U.S. economy is probably in a recession and is unlikely to start recovering until late this year." -- Reuters
"John McCain declared the nation's economy in 'crisis' yesterday during a speech aimed at bolstering his credentials on domestic issues. 'The net result is the crisis we face,' McCain told the group.

Here's What We Say. . .
Don't Listen To The Noise!
When it comes to business... surviving, thriving, and growing during good times or bad depends on how well you to listen to the specific information that your business is telling you, and not to the noise the media is howling.
The key is to learn how to listen to your business... knowing what those sometimes subtle utterances mean... and then acting on what you hear.
Increasing overhead, for example, needs to be seen as a whole as well as item-by-item. It's sometimes too easy to overlook minor increases here and there. But when you add them all up, the impact on your bottom line is overwhelming. Pay attention to what your business is telling you about what should stay... and what needs to go.
Cash flow is another critical indicator that speaks loudly and clearly about the strength and wellbeing of your business... or that could be a warning sign to pay closer attention and take immediate action.
