Our Prime Minister stands in Davos stating that there is something so different and new about this downturn we cannot possibly find any solutions in economic world history. Therefore, we can only read two conclusions into that, either we are all doomed and our island is about to sink into the sea or that he is to once again don his Superman role and save the world! So what next Grim Reaper or Superman!
While the politicians decide which it is to be the rest of us have to continue to function while being beaten up by negativity. We have two ways to look at this situation, is the cup half full or half empty?
Motivation and a positive attitudes are vital in business and as people run businesses not robots they will have to be re motivated before businesses can regain a positive outlook. Yes it is bad with some sectors wiped out but those still working (23 million + of them) have spending power and that means customers.
It is a time to fight back and refuse to accept the negative, strive for the positive and realise that the world has recovered from many shattering economic collapses. Small businesses must band together to lobby through organisations such as the FBS or we will become the acceptable 'waste' product of this recession.
Small businesses must get imaginative, look for new or altered markets, open their eye's wide, and make the most of being small, the flexibility, the reduced overheads, and the close touch they have with their markets! Small really can be beautiful and a positive attitude is essential.
