Your insightful post eased my panic,reminded me of the realities of my situation, gave me hope for the coming year,and overcome a very bleak Christmas. Thank You, Hubert Liverman Hubert, I understand completely! For most of my adult life I have taken the Christmas break to do some serious reevaluation of my life and work and make plans for the next year. One's goals often get smashed on the shoals of life however progress can still be made. I think it is important to keep careful records of life's successes and failures, without the record you really have no idea of where you are at and where you have come from. Over time you gain perspective on the seasons of business. During the tech bubble of the late 1990's you would hear all kinds of non-sense that we are entering a new business cycle in which there would be no down periods and profits don't matter. Well, we all know what happened. All business always go through cycles. Those that learn to weather the down times survive to enjoy the spring and summer. Business which can't or won't adapt to changing times and needs are left on the ash heap of history. If business has been slow and you are not doing anything different to change the course of your work, you are a fool if you expect the results of your activities to change. If you always waited for you phone to ring, it might be time to pick it up yourself and ring it on the other end. It really doesn't matter if you hate to make phone calls, that may be just what you need to do to survive. Good luck and keep at it.
