Hi. Welcome to my new blog.
In this down economy, I’ve had time to redesign and launch a fresh website for MDzyn Solutions. I decided to include this blog as a way to communicate and share my business-related, and maybe sometimes personal views. And, I consider it an honor to hear your views as well.
In the five years I’ve had my own business, I have been fortunate to have a constant flow of work. I don’t chalk this up to luck however. From my first client in 2004, I have worked extremely hard to deliver quality work and make every client feel like they are my only client. Because of this, referrals have taken care of keeping me and a several associates busy. That’s not the case now. I have to admit that I’m a bit concerned. Should I reinvent myself? No, because I love what I do. Should I network more? I’m not sure if that will help as I have a great network already, and the problem of small companies not spending money right now won’t be helped by meeting new small companies that are not spending money.
So, here’s my strategy: stay positive; continue to improve my offerings, knowledge and partnerships; and keep communicating with my established network of clients, who at some point, will once again have the funds to partner with MDzyn Solutions.
What do you think?
The Economic recession made a lot of jobless people in my own country. We could only hope that our economy becomes strong again
Thanks for your helpful information on logos. It is always good to take a look at what you have–this is a good time.
the economic recession made a lot of workers jobless. my best friend and me lost our jobs because of job cuts. i hope that our economy would recover soon.
I agree with Harold. In my business, a few clients that I have not heard from or were unwilling to spend money over the past several months have now resurfaced with marketing needs. During this normally “slow time” because of the approaching holidays and also because budgets are usually exhausted by October or so, I think small business owners will see a strong last 2.5 months of the year because of the money surplus that has built up due to customers not spending in recent months.Yay for the small businesses that can use this spending as a way to fight there way back!
hello,
thanks for the great quality of your blog, every time i come here, i’m amazed.
black hattitude.
i think that the Economic Recession would soon be over in the following years. there are lots of positive indicators in the world economy.
With the price of gas going up, up, up again, and the stock market taking fairly consistent dives the past few days, it’s no wonder that consumer confidence isn’t gaining much ground! It’s like taking a step forward, then two steps backward. I’m not trying to be negative, but I am getting impatient with the state of this economy. I think the best thing that we can all do is to have enough confidence to spend as much discretionary income as possible. Let’s kick it up a notch folks! And, for businesses, market yourself! Now is when you should be promoting yourselves more than ever as the “Tough times…” post in this blog speaks to.
Soon. But my blog covers various topics. I was hoping that more folks would comment on this one so that we could get some diverse conversation going. Thanks for your interest Gary.
How soon will you update your blog? I’m interested in reading some more information on this issue.
In a way, I actually think that this shift in the economy has been good. Like you said, because you haven’t been as busy serving clients right now, you have had the chance to look at your own business, which is something you wouldn’t have had a chance to do before since you were so busy. I think this shift has caused many of us to reanalyze what we are doing and determine whether we were running our businesses in a smart way. If the economy had been humming along, we wouldn’t have been able to do this. Last fall, when we started seeing the bottom drop out, I thought of this as like a change in “zeigeist”, or a shifting in paradigms. I think is is a great opportunity for us to get creative and emerge as something new and better.
