Recessionary Times? - How should we deal with it?

I just read an article which was passed along to me from a friend, Kathy Drewien, in Atlanta, GA.
The article was written by Tom Peters, a management consultant and speaker. The following are just some of the highlights that really inspired me on how to deal with this current economy and recessionary times:

  • You work longer, harder, and you may work for less, . . . but adapt to these circumstances with a smile!
  • Bring an upbeat attitude to work and to your life, even if you have to fake it.
  • Surround yourself with positive people and good things happen . . . just like the "Law of Attraction".
  • Forget about the "Good old days" . . . especially in the real estate business . . . nostalgia is for wimps.
  • Shrug off your losses, and get back on your horse and try Again!
  • Shoot for standards of excellence, develop a thirst for education to upgrade your career, and evaluate your own performance.
  • Offer thanks and gratitude to others when good things happen, . . . and take the heat yourself when bad things happen.
  • Volunteer more, help others with issues, and give new meaning to the word "thoughtful".
  • Be kind to mankind.

Lots to think about this weekend ;-)
