It’s become the “R word” to me.
I hate it, really.
I’m having my best year ever, and it’s only going to get better. Not that I’m bragging, but I offer that little bit of info as validation that what I’m doing is working.
One of the things that I do that give the edge is: read Naomi at IttyBiz and buy her business/marketing stuff because it really kicks ass. Also, there’s this woman named Havi Brooks, and she’s really good at getting people “destuckified” (and making up her own secret language, which is cool).
They’ve collaborated with each other in the past to do some pretty cool things, and now they’re doing it again.
But this time, it’s all about how you’re going to take steps to not only survive, but thrive in this economy.
I know this would be worth a pretty hefty sum of money because it would enable you to take steps and put ideas to work that would make all that money back and then some.
But it’s not a hefty sum of money. It is, in fact, a very small, very affordable sum of money.
And this is not an affiliate link. I’m not doing this to make anything off it, I’m doing it to help.

Thanks for posting. I’m going to check this out as I have many clients who seem to be in a complete panic about the ‘R’ word.
I’m like you, this year has started of being my best so far; optimism certainly goes along way!
I really, really believe that the entire reaction to the R word is overblown.
Sure, times are tough. Sure, there are people losing jobs left, right and center. But the simple truth is, money doesn’t disappear – as John Reese once explained, it simply changes hands from one person to another.
To succeed in an economy gripped by recession, all you really have to do is stop going after your old customers (they just lost their money, remember?) and find new ones (the ones that got your old customer’s money).
What we are seeing is little more than redistribution of wealth; as a marketer, the only smart thing to do is follow the profit signals, find out where the wealth ends up and sell to people who now have it!
Haha good post, I hear “The R Word” all the time on message boards, blogs, news, you name it. The Recession could continue to grow yes, and we do have reason to be worried.. But C’mon lets pick another word.
George Chernikov, you’re right. Money didn’t dissapear. It went into government bailouts for all the billionaire corporate criminalss.
Great post, everyone is going on about the “R word” in the last few days alone i have written 2 or 3 aticles relating to the recession.
As you say, it’s a very small amount of money but if it is going to enable you to thrive in an economic climate such as this, it must be a good investment!
