This is a very interesting article, particularly as we come to the end of what has been a very eventful year. It is sad to see so many firms that have experienced difficulty and gone into receivership. A lot of these firms were perfectly good businesses, but decided to get highly leveraged with big loans from banks, and this was their undoing. You are absolutely right to say that firms need to ‘keep it real’, get a better focus and sense of purpose.

I like your ideas. I echoed a couple in my last blog post too! http://www.hallme.com/blog/nine-big-things-in-09/

More than anything – keep it simple. Care about what you do. The gimmicky hokey companies I don’t see making it thru these tougher times. You have to be good at what you do and.. sorry but being a good person will probably help.

I think social networking for your business especially only succeeds if people like you and like what you have to say.

Thanks for a good post!

I dont think you should pare back, take advantage of the fact that your competition is paring back, so customers will not see or hear about them. You want to be top of mind now and in the future when they have more money to spend.

I do like the idea of expanding your purpose and coming back to your core values.
