The R Word is making me angry

The ‘R’ Word is making me angry.

Reading the newspaper this morning and the media is talking about the ‘R’ word again and its worrying every one I talk to these days and it’s making me angry...

Right NOW, TODAY, these are the most opportune times to be an entrepreneur, a LEADER.

Now, I can hear you say this guy must be crazy. Financial institutions melting down, corporations failing, the ‘R’ecession.....  This is because I know who I’m talking to. Now if you are CEO of a major corporation or a major share holder of a hedge fund, yea there have been better days. If you are a factory worker who is just looking for the next secure job, you might be a little nervous today. But if you are a reader of our newsletter, a leader of your industry or a passionate heretic (someone who believes in changing the status quo for the better), then good chances are that you are an ambitions minded entrepreneur. The stars couldn’t be better aligned up then they are today.

Our financial and economical pool is like a pyramid with companies and institutes and people at the TOP are who control most of the wealth. That top piece is what’s broken, thats what’s cracked off and the deck is being reshuffled and its making room for a new regime of leading companies and entrepreneur in which to rise. You can be part of that new regime. Now is the time for great entrepreneurship, the world is begging to be changes and all that’s missing is your ideas and your drive and your passion and your leadership and our partnership.

The history is witnessed the start of some of today’s leading organisation in recession times. Microsoft started in the recession on the 1970’s, CNN and MTV started in the recession in the 80’s. Infact 16 of the 30 companies that make up the DOW Industrial average started in the recession or depression; including Procter and Gamble, Disney, Alcoa, McDonalds, GE, Johnson & Johnson...... These were once a start up and today are giants and leaders of their industries and that is happening all over again.

So when you hear the news of the day with all its doom and gloom of financial institution, recession this and companies failing there, there in infact also the other side of the sword where there is more and more room opening up for new entrepreneurial emerging businesses and YOU can be a part of that too. I love the quote by the world’s greater investor Warren Buffett, “When others are greedy, I am fearful and when others are fearful, I am greedy.” Folks, these are the times for you to be greedy, to be bold and seize the moment...

Sam Walton (one of the greatest business entrepreneur) back in 1991 during the recession of that time was asked what he thought about the recession, he said, “I’ve thought about it but I’ve chosen not to participate.” Back in 1991, Walmart was in a dead heat with their biggest competitors Sears. Whilst Sears decided to pull back on the investments from the market place and turn it down for the next couple of years, Sam Walton on the other hand went aggressive and started investing in Advertising and Marketing and Innovation and in 2 years the Walmart stock tripled that of Sears whilst Sears stocks remained flat. That’s a perfect example of taking advantage of opportune times and YES opportune times can be in recessive markets.

There is a redistribution of wealth taking place right now which is going to be seized by gutsy and bold entrepreneurs like you. Now is not the time to keep a low profile and quiet down, Now is the time to be Bold and move forward and Make Change... The world is waiting for you and I know you want to. The only thing that’s lacking is your courage and your drive and your passion and good partnership.
