Finding the Silver Lining

Each day, new data is released in the United States that deepens the gloom and doom surrounding the current “economic recovery.” In the past week we have learned:

  • Job openings are at a record low — there are 50% fewer than in 2007
  • More homeowners are struggling as option ARMs reset higher
  • Approximately one-third of all mortgage holders have a loan balance that’s higher than the current value of their home
  • Cities and states are still struggling to find ways to balance their budgets
  • People are using far less credit and are saving more, which is great for them, but slows the economy which depends on consumer spending
  • Although the unemployment rate is 10%, the number of people who are either unemployed, underemployed, or have given up looking reaches more than 17% of the working-age population

Can Facebook Help You Prosper?

The short answer is YES. Here’s how:

  1. You can connect to like-minded people all over the world, and feeling connected is one of the emotional keys to creating prosperity.
  2. You can learn a lot about creative ways of developing streams of income if you network with entrepreneurs and solo practitioners.
  3. Your authentic self will have a means to express itself. Even though there are certain etiquettes that are best to follow, there are lots of ways to be creative.
  4. If you have a business or practice, you have to opportunity to carefully craft how you want to present your product or service to a large audience. This often brings up feelings that you can examine and work through as you move into a larger arena.

I especially recommend Facebook for small business owners and solo practitioners. It presents many opportunities for increasing your customer or client base.

I’ll be announcing an exciting seminar in the near future to help you learn Facebook techniques for building your business.
