ARE WE IN A RECESSION?




Every one seems to be worried about the same thing. Companies and families are tightening there belts around the country. Are we heading into a recession?

Here is the problem. Everything is getting more expensive. The dollar is loosing its value and most of us make the same or close to what we made 5 years ago. Tell me I’m wrong.

Here is the difference. We are moving into the information age. We are moving out of the industrial age. If you think that we are already in the information age then talk to the thousands of people that still work in factories around the country whose jobs are being threatened by cheap labor in Pakistan or Mexico. There are going to be some growing pains, and some will be left behind.

When it comes to change there are 3 types of people.

1. Those who are afraid of change and will do what ever they can to stop it.
2. Those who embrace change and make it part of themselves.
3. Those who wonder what happened.

Since we are coming into the information age I believe there are 2 things that will make you the most successful. Information is king.

1. Be the one with the most information about your self. Make this information very easily accessible. This information should be in more than 1 format. People always have a preference how they like to see things. Make your self easy to find for everyone.
2. The ones who can collect and learn the most will win. Now don’t go out there and start learning everything you can. You’ll get burned out. Get the right information from those you trust. Find a mentor and learn from them.

We are all learning every day if we like it or not. Every day things get into our heads that we’ll be using years from now. What do you think about when you’re not thinking about anything?
