Become your own matchmaker

We have all read the papers and watch the news and it’s not pretty, we’ve hit the bottom and like everything else, there’s no place to go but up! We have to have a breakdown before we can breakthrough. There are many people who see opportunity in down times, and it’s important to focus on the solution rather than all the negativity that’s all around us. People have let their cushy jobs to start something on their own. Yes, you need a cushion to fall back on and it’s never wise to leave until you have an exit strategy and money to support you for at least six months. If you have a business or are thinking of starting one, make the decision to do it.  Don’t worry about “the how”, things will fall into place once you make the committment. Today more than any other time in history we have social networks, where we can meet people of likeminds, everything is at our fingertips if we make that decision to bring change into our lives.  You do have opinions about things, experience that is only unique to you, people want to hear from you, now you can reach out and touch them by blogging and sharing information or anything else you might want to say.  No matter where you are right now in your life or business, there are people who you can inspire, inform, collaborate with, support, work with, and visa versa.  Serendipity is my favorite word and people are showing up everyday that I never would have met. They are contributing to my business in ways that are invaluable, bringing me opportunities that would never have happend had I not said yes, I’m willing to go out there and do whatever it takes to create change and prosper, no matter what the economy looks like.  I’m going to make it a great year, what about you?
