AFTER READING YOUR COMMENTS I STARTSD THINKING OF THE COST TO MOST BUSSINES’S. ON AVERAGE MOST COST IS RELATED TO EMPLOYEES CUT DOWN EMPLOYEES CUT DOWN COST DON’T ELIMINATE CUT DOWN. A PRIVATE COMPANY COULD POSSIBLE CUT DOWN OFFICE STAFF ON HAND. MOST OFFICES DON’T WORK AS PROFITALY AS PRODUCTION. WITH TODAYS COMPUTER SYSTEM SOME NOT ON SITE COULD HANDLE BILLINGS,INVENTORY,ON LINE SALES,GENERATE SALES FOR SEVERAL COMPANIES AT ONE TIME MAKING IT PROFITABLE FOR SEVERAL COMPANIES AT ONCE.
PLUS CREATING YOUR PRIVATE COMPANY MAKING YOUR PROFIT AND JOBS

Doug — Your philosophy sounds very much like the perspective that Robert Peary held which allowed him, after 7 failed attempts,to reach the North Pole, that being: “Find a way or make one!”. Thanks, Phil

I think we are on the cusp of one of the greatest times of opportunity in our history. Technology, speed of communication, global need matched with local action means now is the time to be an entrepreneur. Great post, Doug. As always.

Doug,
This was most enlightening. I will share it with many, so they too, can view the current state as a time of opportunity despite the portrait of despair being depicted in every form of media. Bravo. Way to look at the positives! Best, Susan

I fully appreciate your point about working from anywhere — I’m reading this while in south Florida, where I’ve spent most of the winter, working full time but in shorts and tee shirt and enjoying an occassional round of golf. And I agree with Laura — this could be the greatest entrepreneurial opportunity in recent history.

Doug, good post. Picked up the link from your Twitter. I have had my own PR business now for 10 years and through high and low economies have successfully been able to provide very specialized services to many types of organizations. This economy will indeed be the type of shakeout you describe. New tech has made it possible to do work anywhere in the world as well. Cheers. Robb

Doug,

Great post, I loved reading it and totally agree. The traditional rules of life and work have evaporated and, instead of looking at it with dread and despair, we must recognize that this is a huge opportunity to redefine and refocus our lives.

Through no doing of our own, we, as a society, have now been presented with a very rare opportunity to redefine ourselves and push the boundaries of how, where and when we work.

The only thing we must do to succeed is to believe strongly in ourselves,have the willingness and courage to go forward without a roadmap and, most importantly, to get beyond the traditional mindset boundaries that have limited us in the past. It can be a great adventure if we get out of our own way and take a chance, on ourselves!

Thanks for posting!
