Executing on Ideas
December 09, 2008
In my mind, no idea is worthless. However, an idea that can’t be executed will never be anything more than an idea. In order to actually do something with your ideas you need to be willing to make a few sacrifices and work to bring them to fruition.
There’s Risk in Being Transparent
December 08, 2008
Last week Ryan Carson of Carsonified had to make a difficult decision to let go of some of his people. Being an owner of a small business, I don’t envy him that. Not at all. He then went on to write up a post offering advice on recession-proofing was, somewhat inexplicably, tied to the layoffs. This post, not surprisingly (to me anyway), brought on all sorts of negative feedback.
Our Recession Plan
December 02, 2008
Yesterday the recession was made official. Turns out we’ve been in one since December of 2007, but it’s only just now we have the data to make that known. Not that we didn’t know it’s been bad. But we can safely assume, as bad as it’s been, that it’ll get worse. So what’re we going to do? Well, in the case of my business we’re going to change little and keep doing what we do best. It’s my hope that, because of the nature of our business and how we run it, we’ll survive and possibly even do well, during this downturn.
