I Refuse to Participate in Obama’s Recession

I wish I knew who first said “I refuse to participate in a recession”.  I hear it from the guy I work for almost every week.  And you know what?  With all his typical, pain in the ass business owner faults, this is one strength I admire to no end and the one idea that really works.

I Refuse to Participate in a Recession!

While you cannot control the economy or your competition, you can control your response to the economy. Referrals can keep your business alive and well during an economic downturn.  During the last recession, I watched thousands of businesspeople grow and prosper. They were successful because they consciously made the decision to refuse to participate in a recession. They did so by developing their networking skills and learning how to build their business through word of mouth.

Don’t let a bad economy be your excuse for failure. Instead, make it your opportunity to succeed. While others are looking at the problems, those of us looking for opportunities will not only get through a bad economy but will prosper.

In business, in life, Words do Matter.  This time of true economic recession will become a depression because it becomes depressing.  We can avoid the depressing crap by refusing to participate.

In my particular business, our customers are laying off people as they lose engineering or design contracts but we’ve remained positive and treated it as the opportunity it is.  Our business is sort of booming as the customers have begun to realize we offer an alternative to participating in the recession.

Yeah, my biz is lucky and not all are like it but damn it, we have to stop participating in Obama’s Recession.  He owns this sucker now because he bought into it rather than rejecting it.  It is Obama’s Recession and I refuse to participate.

Let him be Mr. Doom and Gloom, I refuse to Participate in Obama’s Recession.

He’s talking it down, lowering expectation but I refuse to Participate in Obama’s Recession.

Repeat after me..

I refuse to Participate in Obama’s Recession.
