Make Lemonade!

I totally agree with the author of this post, that the recession can be your business' best friend because there are, indeed, many companies looking for alternative ways of getting their wares to the general population. Now's your chance to get into the game. Be better priced and offer better quality merchandise or services. Offer them something they've never seen before, and follow up consistently, but not annoyingly. Barter, network... Get out there and don't take no for an answer.
