Don't Overreact! Avoid Creating Your Own Economic Downturn

Guest post by Garrison Wynn

Are we doing all we can to weather adifficult economy? In previous articles, I've pointed out that some people fare better than others. A few of us are even defiant in our approach. I recently saw a lady wearing a button that read "I refuse to participate in the recession." I guess that's better than wearing one that says "I've lost the will to live!"

Most of us are doing the best we can, but "the best we can" might not be good enough. We might need to do things better than we can, which means we have to look at how we think, examine what we believe and even get some help.

Do we hunker down, cut back all our expenses, let a few people go, watch the news and prepare for the world to end? Or do we increase our efforts, pinpoint our markets (which means targeting those who actually have money) and make sure our bosses, customers and employees can see our value?
