As a society we are inundated daily with bad news about the economy. Although things have gotten a little better, we still hear about declining markets, failing businesses, unemployment, home foreclosures, declining net worth, and evaporating 401k plans. Certainly, this news is unsettling, but this country has been there before and survived and we should expect to overcome again.
We must proactively prepare for the eventual recovery while surviving the current economic downturn, which has repeated many times in our history. We need to continue to hone our skills and improve our processes so we are prepared for the recovery.
