Is it over yet (the recession stupid)?

That's right, I am asking the all important question we all want the answer to - Is the recession really over?

At this point, who knows and who cares!!

There are a thousands of experts who weren't smart enough to warn us in the first place. So why listen to them to let us (small business owners) know when its over.

So what are the crazy folks at EntreQuest saying?

You know we love a good book and why not the classic, Good to Great by Jim Collins:

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties AND at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be." (Collins, 2001)

If you have hit the wall, like we did Q4 of 2008, then adapt and overcome.

We modified our staff by 40% yet over the last 12 months have returned to a healthy, profitable-growth company. Of the 8 years we have been in business, 2009 will be the 3rd best year in profit (we are up 232% this year).

If you have not, but sense it coming, then get ahead of the curve and provide your team with the confidence. clarity and certainty of a new direction.

Either way, business is now just about the highs and the lows. The cliche says its about the journey... funny, that's why we named the company EntreQuest.

As one of the people we admire in the social media world says, "keep crushn' it!"
