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. =20 Good luck and keep at it.
