I like the recession. I like the recession if you call it a credit crunch, global financial crisis, or whatever. Here’s why:
– The recession separates the wheat from chaff in business. Out of date training competitors with large overheads aren’t doing so well
– The recession encourages creativity and the return of lost skills…like making and fixing stuff. People are opening up to new ideas out of necessity
– People are now questioning “old business” and the notion of chasing short-term profits
– People are demanding increased transparency in business
– Customers are demanding training that works. No problem
– Some great people are being made unemployed and starting all sorts of conscious business multiple bottom-line projects on their own.
– It’s a challenge to rampant IkeaChangingRoomstastic consumerism and fixing the internal with the external. Values are being questioned.
Here’s another article by someone else who likes the recession. “Poncy bars will have to close” is my favourite 🙂
