It’s important for me to make the following disclaimer.  I am NOT a business or financial expert.  I have considerable expertise in relationship-building as it relates to fundraising development - much of which translates quite well to personal & professional networking.

I do however, have considerable background in counseling & working with individuals & couples over the decades.  So I think I have a handle on how the human condition operates when things in the outside world appear to be going to “h_ _ _ in a handbag!”

Financially, things don’t look great for our economy!  Frankly, the don’t look great for the global economy.  Investment bank failures, the housing credit crunch going from bad to “badder” (I refuse to say ‘worse’).  The $ weakening most everywhere are the world & jobs going “south” (literally) ever since unions got too big & NAFTA was shoved down the American populace’s throat.

Okay, so that’s enough of my ‘rant’ about the situation.  What we want to know is how to protect ourselves while the American capitalist system rights itself over the next decade.  What can the small business owner or the entrepreneur do to get water out of our boats & stay afloat while all around us seems so bleak.

Well, panic will not solve anything.  So if not. . . what might we do!  Read more at our networking community, the CONNECTION STATION by clicking http://www.affiliatedwomen.ning.com/.
