What are you doing differently today in your small business?

A funny thing is happening at some of the networking events I’ve attended recently. Many of the stock brokers and real estate agents are complaining about the market (one realtor even said she was bored). Every time I tell them that I don’t get it, they look at me like I’ve lost my mind.

I don’t get it. Last year on this day, Microsoft stock closed at $33.25. All month, they’ve been hovering around the $17.50-$18. That’s 50% off. I like buying things at a discount. That’s a total deal, depending on your time horizon of course.

Hey, stockbrokers and financial advisors! Do you think there might be several someone’s out there who’s interested participating in a half price sale Microsoft or Google or Flowserve? What are you doing to reach them?

Hello Real estate agents outside of Texas. Think back to clients you had who couldn’t afford their dream home. In some markets, prices have dropped substantially. It’s a buyer’s market.

No money to loan, you say? FHA has money, and they’ve added very few restrictions. There are mortgage brokers and bankers who are hungry for the business. Are you partnered with one? What about investors? Millionaires are made in recessions. Are there services you could be offering that would get you a piece of the action?

For those of you who are small business owners outside of these professions, what possibilities does this downturn open up for you? What opportunities are you missing?

Whatever your business or profession, I encourage you to look at what’s possible. Check things out from a different angle. Get an objective option. What are you going to do differently from last year that will ensure your success?

Peace & Prosperity,
