Mining For GOLD in the Current Economy Mining For GOLD in the Current Economy
Tim Barrett, BluePrints for Business The economic impact of the current economy has in large part become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Each and every day we are bombarded by negative economic indicators. We have discovered two prevalent reactions on the part of small businesses throughout the region, a pattern that appears nationwide. The first, is the tendency to overreact and in many cases results in a near panic on the part of managers and owners as they start cutting and slashing jobs, overhead and plans for expansion and growth. The second is the ostrich syndrome – whereby owners and managers ignore everything around them and go about business as usual. But is there a silver lining to the doom and gloom? Can a business experiencing a downturn halt the slide and stabilize the business? Is it possible to grow and expand revenues and profits during the current economy? The answer is a resounding “YES”!
Join the Blue Ridge Entrepreneurial Council and Tim Barrett as we explore "Mining for Gold in the Current Economy". In this month's forum, we will address the current economy, discuss ways to stabilize and sustain current market share and provide a blueprint for a dynamic breakout strategy designed to seize overlooked opportunities that currently exist.
