There seems to be a widespread agreement that we are having some rough times. However, a friend did an actual survey of people on the street, asking them if they were frightened by the current economic situation. About 80% were scared about what was happening with the economy and our future.

But a follow-up question was asked of these same people. “Has the current recession affected you?” The same percentage (80%) said NO. They weren’t experiencing bad effects from it.

Sure there were some out of work, and there were some struggling with mortgages. But many did not in fact have the recession impinging on them.

The worst of the news comes from the media. The spouting of their woeful tidings and hard times, with facts and figures that are likely “cooked,” scares people. And that’s what the media does best – work hard to scare people to pieces!

Here’s what you can do to survive, no matter how the recession is affecting you. You first should turn off the news. It won’t kill you to not listen to their ravings! Secondly, ramp up with everything you have to produce what you sell. Get those products on the market and give your customers the best service they’ll ever have anywhere.

Flourishing and prospering is the way to beat any oppression and fear! Stand up in the face of adversity and prove them wrong!

If you need help getting some productive people, I've got them.
