"Não veja televisão. Não veja as notícias! São um veneno!"

"The economy isn’t as important as you think it is. (Moi ici: A ideia da retoma, ou da recessão - "Não acredito em marés..."; "A retoma da economia" e "À espera da retoma")
...
1. In any economy, some businesses will thrive while others suffer.
...
Just because your traditional market is struggling doesn’t mean there aren’t other markets for you to serve. Whether you’re selling business to business or business to retail, there are buyers who are flourishing. Identify those buyers, market to them, and you, too, will flourish.
...
2. People will pay extra for what they really want regardless of the economy.
...
some buyers will forego eating out to be able to afford their dream trip. Others will postpone the trip to be able to eat out. Buyers will make adjustments in their spending habits, but they will spend, and handsomely, for the things they really value.
...
3. Buyers’ natural styles don’t change just because the economy does.
Value buyers will always be value buyers, just as price buyers will always be price buyers. Price buyers will be looking for the best deal they can get even when they’re rolling in money. Value buyers, on the other hand, will forego some purchases during difficult times rather than sacrifice the things they value."
Na semana passada comecei um projecto numa empresa. Um dos empresários começou a falar da crise e do Gaspar, está tudo minado, não há saída... quando acabamos a sessão, baseada na análise de uma tabela SWOT, tinham-se identificadoe 2 ou 3 oportunidades que se podiam conjugar com pontos fortes. Tempo de arregaçar as mangas!
.
O meu conselho foi logo:
"Não veja televisão. Não veja as notícias! São um veneno!"
