@ Ed
Exactly Ed, and I even think without I would not be as motivated as I am.

Exactly IM, we walk above the fear and never look back. Your motivation is obviously faith in yourself.

I can totally relate Ed, for my online business it takes a lot of faith and walking through fear on a daily basis, the financial crap shoot sure keeps me on my toes, but I believe in it and myself and just keep going.

Vic, I would find it harder to ignore what frightens me. I’m the type of person who deals with the hard choices first, then I forge on.

Nice points.

It is great to face fear. Of course only people who are great can face fear. Scared people are those people who do not face their fear. In business risk is always a part of it. The businessmen who manage the risks are great businessmen.

For me Mara, that dark cloud fuels new business, as companies move to take their brand positioning more seriously. During the last recession, companies pulled in their reins – this time because the fear is greater, I’m seeing the opposite. I’m also seeing a lot of start-ups. At the end of this month I’m addressing a group of immigrants who have recently started businesses on the value of their brand.

JLT, It is all on your outlook. The troubling thing for those who are not entrepreneurs is that the economy is happening to them, they are not in control. We on the other hand, are continually changing the rules to suit our own success.

Oh, I agree with everything you said. This administration is using fear to impulse their own agenda.
I agree, Crisis are always great, they force people to change and humankind to evolve and progress more and more

As much as I’m hating the dark cloud over our heads- I feel that finally people are pushing themselves and being forced to think. Marketers are coming up with even fresher ideas because of pressure put on them. I love recession prove branding- and the fact that many companies are now taking the leap and pushing boundaries- knowing that when this economic crisis is over- they’ll emerge in better positions in the market!

Economically bad times offer a lot of opportunities to those willing to take a risk.
Being an entrepreneur always involves risk, but when ou know the risk level it becomes a lot less risky.

In your scenario TBS, pain fuels motivation. The economy is inspiring many to go out on their own. You’re right – it provided the necessary kick!

I see it as a wake up call. You need to be scared from time to time to kick you in the butt in order to take action.
