The Shift of the Economy

This has actually become one of my favorite topics of late. Why, because it all depends on a persons perspective!

I've been asked quite a few times recently to help market some businesses. Once again, something I never expected, another one of those slipping in the back door things! (A different perspective) Who knew I was a marketer?

I see this time of economic shifting as a time for entrepreneurs, anyone who is able and willing to shift, their focus, their thinking, their business. For example, my son is an auto detailer for the last automotive car dealership in town. Why is it the last? The owner was able to see that doing business as he had been doing for years, wasn't going to work in this economy. So he shifted. He stopped selling new cars (mostly) and is now going to the auction, buying very nice, used cars with low miles and selling them considerably under blue book.

Futhermore, he hired all the mechanics from the different dealers in town who closed their doors or moved out of town and now he carries all brands of cars and has trained factory mechanics to work on them. He made the shift and he's able to keep his doors open and people employed. Bravo!

If you're interested, I’d like to share with you a few tips for not just surviving when life begins to shake, but to actually, flourish, bloom, and even be prosperous! It’s not easy, but it will be the ride of your life! Happy Journey!

Recession…Refuse to participate.
· Don’t watch the news or listen to any negativity about the economy, jobs or the stock market. TURN IT OFF!
· Negative will attract more, whether it’s in thoughts, words or deeds, and like a magnet, it will go out into the universe and come directly back to you as a Negative Energy Blast! (Multiply this by millions of people thinking or acting negatively, whoa baby!)

Simply say “YES” to changes, to gently shifting!
Change the words you use. Make everything an affirmation or positive statement. (This may take some diligent practice)
Things “shift” in a changing economy. What we know, is that it will shift again. Nothing remains the same. Just look around you. Everything changes, even a small seed, doesn’t stay a small seed, it continually changes until it becomes a beautiful plant.
Some may loose jobs or housing or finances in the market. It is simply an opportunity to begin again, a “do over”, how do you want to live the next part of your life? A clean slate to begin again, doing things differently this time!
While it doesn’t feel good, this too shall pass!
Stay positive, it will also attract more of the same, and also come back to you as a Positive Energy Blast! (Multiply that by millions, and WHOA BABY!
Change your perception; be willing to see your life situation, the world, from a wider lenses, another, bigger perspective.
Some things have to die in order to be reborn a new creation
Remember, it’s darkest before the dawn.

PS. You may think, "Sure that's easy for you to say....but the reality is in my life.....(fill in the blank) Well, what makes me able to speak about shifting attitudes in life is I did loose absolutely everything, and began again with only a 95 Toyota Corolla that had a salvage title.....there is always HOPE!

I'll close with a quote from the movie "The Gift"
It was a comment from a very wealthy grand dad, who had made a video before he died for his family, but mostly for his grandson.
"Hell, I've lost everything two or three times in my life...it's the perfect place to begin again!" Cheers Pati
