I like the recession. I like the recession if you call it a credit crunch, global financial crisis, or whatever. Here’s why:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– The recession separates the wheat from chaff in business. Out of date training competitors with large overheads aren’t doing so well<\/p>\n

– 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 <\/p>\n

– People are now questioning “old business” and the notion of chasing short-term profits <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

– People are demanding increased transparency in business<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

– Customers are demanding training that works<\/a>. No problem<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

– Some great people are being made unemployed and starting all sorts of conscious business multiple bottom-line projects on their own.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

– It’s a challenge to rampant IkeaChangingRoomstastic consumerism and fixing the internal with the external. Values are being questioned.<\/div>\n
