And…

Do something good for others. It’s very easy to revert into “workaholic” mode …. it’s the quality of your work not the quantity of the hours. Doing something good for others will keep your heart in the forefront.

I wrote a check list about recession proofing your business. Email me and you shall receive.

Really, really watch your time. How? create or recreate your ideal client profile and make sure that all marketing/networking/pr efforts get you “in front of the most of them in the least amount of time” … think hundreds at a time… thousands… millions!

The bottom line is to do the things you know you should have done… ! marketing plan, etc. etc.

Thanks for passing along this info. I’m feeling the crunch in my home staging and home decorating business!

I just forwarded a Twitter Tips strategy (including Tweets) to a client so that he can share ways that others may persevere in a poor economy. Those Tweets are further formatted as a tip sheet to be sent to local media.

I think any honest and positive views on what’s happening on Wall Street, can provide a lift — and benefit — to readers.

Hi Joan,

Thanks for the shout-out. Yes, I am pitching these ideas to business editors. I have had several recent placements in the WSJ and AP with these types of angles.

Best,
Margie
