Budget Crunch

In speaking with current and potential future clients I am observing a consistent “fear” when discussing new ideas, change, and innovative thinking. In my 15 years of operational experience with companies such as Miller Brewing Company, Domino’s Pizza Distribution, and Nintendo of America, tight times come and go, but it is those who actively use these times to evaluate, identify, and suggest change to meet the current and future needs, who find themselves responsible for moving the team forward. Fear binds you, knowledge sets you free. I am interested to see how you are coping in the world of Receiving and Mailing Services…. Share your BOLD stories….

  2. It's really tough to remain positive and to be content in a recession, but it truly is an opportunity. Triathlon and marathon athletes always comment that when you get to the race's hardest parts, that’s where the strong runners make their move and that’s where the winners pull to the front of the pack. That's where we are. When this recession ends, when the finish line is in sight and the future looks full of opportunities, your place in the competitive pack will depend on how competently you manage and innovate right now.

  3. There is an old story about a guy sawing wood. He was having trouble because his saw was dull and he wasted a lot of time. When a friend asked him why he didn't sharpen the saw, he said that he didn't have time.
    There is also the old adage about not being able to repair the roof while it is raining.
    If things are slow because business is down, this is a good time for research and planning.

  4. Any descent invisionist can tell u that opportunity is around every corner. So, if u'r to busy looking at the doors that closed u most likely don't see the many other doors that are opened. Everyone must see change as removing the nail from u'r foot that keeps u in place as a time to let go and propel yourself forward. There is always opportunity for those who believe in forward movement.

  5. I agree with SteveY. Hang in there. Once the Rebublicans take back the house and senate in 2010 they can begin reversing some of the crap that has been passed in the last year. After that the economy should begin to turn around. Cheers :)
