Stretching Yourself in a Challenging Economy

Lately I've been struggling with finding work to do. But sometimes this can be a way to explore new ways to make a living. If I pursued all of the things I am doing now, and things in the economy turn around, I would likely be too busy.

As it is now, there are signs of economic recovery in some of my activities. Projects that were on hold because of the economy are now back in action. It is surprising how I've been affected economically by H1N1, GMs struggles, and the other world events all have a similar impact as well.

Being in business for yourself makes you appreciate and realize what impact these events has on the bottom line. When I was employed by someone else, I did not fully grasp how that comes into play.

I also have the agility now, to shape my future as I see it, and adapt to situations like the ones mentioned. The challenge for big companies is to stay afloat, and can rarely act in that manner. I am so grateful I can do what I do!
