With that atitude you'll be sure to bounce back. I had an "all my eggs in one basket" breakdown and I'm now focusing on another stream of income. We never stop learning particularly from wise folks like you. Thanks and good luck! Ian - how true.

While few people talk about what happens when it's not recoverable (except me!), it's certainly not the end. Even if you end up penniless like I did. An experience like this is sobering. But it also frees you to apply all of that expensive experience you have of what not to do. And at least from my story, it's actually an investment in your own education. So if you get there, don't give up. There are ways and means of bounding back, bigger and better (and wiser) than before. Having been and gone bust, these are all wise words.

Another way businesses can ride out the drought or the storm of a recession as we are about to crack wide into is to belong to a reputable barter exchange, like the one I'm a part of: Merchants Barter Exchange. Barter has always been a very effective business tool and way for businesses to move surplus inventory, capacity or unused time. When used effectively it can improve the efficiency of a company immeasurably. Great article! Excellent article!

It makes the advice doable without the panic and hysteria one often finds with such articles. I especially liked what you said about evaluating changes: Knowing those that must be made, while still adhering to and keeping your long-term outcome in focus. Thanks again, very sage advice!
