How to Prosper in a Down Economy

What you do in your business today will make a difference on how your business operates tomorrow, and that will be true for the next day and the day after that. The collision industry is changing daily, the recession has disrupted our comfort zone and the demands on our industry have grown.

Nobody has escaped from the impact of the recession, but there are those who have excelled. They are the ones who paid attention to their business and not the direction the economy is moving.

It is easy to lose your focus when you are faced with a downturn in the economy, but in actuality now is the time to stay focused and look at your business plan. Are you reaching your goals? What is stopping you? What are you doing to energize your business to move you forward? Confront this downturn head-on and take advantage of it. Maintain your vision on where you want to go and don't let panic change that focus. Base all your decisions on fact not on the panic or fear that is generated through emotions.
