DISQUS

ElizabethPW · 1 year ago

Yes yes yes!

Here's the thing ... most people will quit. Especially now. Most people are freaking out, getting day jobs, slowing down marketing, cutting down on advertising, cutting their prices, etc.

Let's live in opposite land. Create a more narrow niche, specialize, and raise your prices. Buy more advertising. Launch a new product. Go for big funding.

Part of success (especially right now) is just to be the last person in the room after everyone else chickens out. :)

This is a very motivational post. It is hard to get motivated in this kind of economy now-a-days. Job market is bad, stock market is bad, and even the presidential election is effecting the direction our economy takes. I think we need to slow down and really come up with a good solid plan to get us out of this economic crisis.

Jim,
It must be fate that I stumbled across this post. What you are talking about-going for it in the midst of economic disaster-is what my partner and I are doing right now. We recently moved from CA to CO after we lost 2 of biggest clients (non-profits) due to budget cuts. We put a website and and now putting a good amount of money into promoting the info through a seminar in Denver. The truth is we believe we have discovered something that is very cool that people can benefit from greatly. By the way we are not charging a dime for the event-a wing and prayer...

I completely agree, first of all not every one is broke, plus at times like these is when people will be looking of necessaties and consumables at cheap prices, nothing like the Internet to provide that!
Thanks Jim

You know, at one point in time I was nervous about being self-employed; however, seeing how many people are having trouble with their corporate jobs, I am much much less nervous about my financials.

Granted there is much risk in doing what I do; however, in doing what I do, it doesn't seem like there is an end anytime soon. More and more as my work caters to more people not only within the United States but also internationally, things continue to get very much easier for me.
