Bankruptcies are the highest they’ve been since 2001, a million people have lost their jobs, and small businesses got the stimulus package shaft. And that’s the good news.
It’s all good news, says Mark Deo, executive director of The Rules of Attraction: Fourteen Practical Rules to Help Get the Right Clients, Talent and Resources to Come to You!
helping small businesses locate stimulus money?
Well that, or, as Deo settles into a short narrative preview (the full story is available in his book—see, opportunity everywhere after all, eh?), they can do like a downsized teacher client of his, who now runs a multimillion-dollar financial consulting firm for teachers only. Focusing locally and specializing can help a small business owner become “a bigger fish in a smaller pond.”
“And that’s what my book is about,” he added.
Or instead of starting their own businesses, the rest of that newly available talent will be looking for work. “Small businesses can scarf up some of those really smart players. A lot of Fortune 500 employees are going to work for small businesses next. I’ve had several clients who’ve been fortunate enough to acquire some A-player talent.”
One might call that the Making Lemonade Out of Lemons philosophy.
