Economic Turn

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

The economic turn down has
hurt main street, your street, and
mine. Still, it has taught us
how to survive it, a crisis.

"It's just been hard." You said.

Let's look at the positive side.

You learned how to prioritize.
There isn't anymore wasteful
spending. The economic turn
down requires you to figure
out how much you have,
where it's needed most,
and then use money wisely.

You learned how to budget.
It means you learned to manage
yourself, life better. The
results are life is less
stressful, and more meaningful.

There are countless ailments
involved with being stressed
out.

Less money to spend stops
you from eating out, or not
as often. Simply, cut-out
spending on anything that
isn't necessary to live
life, or sustain life.

You learned discipline. It
points to the fact that you
learned to say "no" to wasting.

Perhaps, you are sharing living
arrangements due to the economic
turn down. It's possible you're
closer to family, because you
opened your living space to
them. Enjoy time with them
that you couldn't otherwise.

If the arrangement didn't turn
out well, you were willing to
help. Yes, learn from that
too.

"What is there to learn?"
You asked.

Rules are required. Did you
set any? Boundaries have to
be respected.

Look at what happened, and
figure out how to improve
the situation. Or, just give
the person space. The person
could have a change of attitude
after thinking his/her situation
through.

Use your new skill. Teach
others how to use money
wiser.

Start with a friend, neighbor.
Advertise your service by
word-of-mouth.

Word-of-mouth advertising
spreads like wild-fire. It can
provide better coverage than
a paid ad. Later, when funds
allow, place ads.

"How will I teach?" You
questioned.

Explain what you learned
from the economic turn
down. Walk through it
step by step.

Buy an item used often in bulk.
Advise how doing so will save
money, for example. Try the
store brand, and stop using
name brands. Make a list
before shopping. Stick to it.

Give for instances in your
life before you learned from
the economic turn down.

Ask questions, get people
involved with telling about
their habits prior to the
economic turn down.

Everyone will laugh, enjoy
your class.

Ask for feed-back. Feed-back
helps you. You'll learn
what people want to know.

Turn ideas upside down, inside
out, and side-ways. Get as much
use as possible out of it.

You taught a class at home.
Take the focus of the class
to someone's house who didn't,
for whatever reason, attend.
Ask your new client to invite
his/her friends.

It's possible you'll get a bigger
customer base.

In closing, scoop-up what you
have learned from the economic
turn down, and profit from it.
