Problems/ Creating Opportunities*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just because everyone else views the current economy as&lt;br /&gt;
problematic (nice word for disaster, isn't?!) doesn't mean that we can't use&lt;br /&gt;
the current circumstances to our advantage. &lt;br /&gt;
Take a look at the people who make a lot of solid business decisions,&lt;br /&gt;
who have created successful companies - what are they doing today?  They're &lt;u&gt;creating&lt;/u&gt; opportunities! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of people have been laid off - that means skilled&lt;br /&gt;
employees are available, sometimes for a fraction of the former cost!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Companies are closing or making drastic cuts - means  market share is suddenly available in the&lt;br /&gt;
market place that previously was solidly taken up by the existing&lt;br /&gt;
companies/providers; and their customers are left hanging with their products or&lt;br /&gt;
services. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time of opportunity for the small business or entrepreneur&lt;br /&gt;
to GROW!  Take a look to see who is&lt;br /&gt;
"suffering" the loss of products or services, and see what you can&lt;br /&gt;
provide.  Success business are much more&lt;br /&gt;
often created out of providing what someone needs or wants, rather than some&lt;br /&gt;
here-to-fore unknown brilliant idea. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So use the Empowered Enterprise1)      &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Ask&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
what their goals are&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2)      &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Ask&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
what resources they need to reach those goals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3)      &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Ask&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
what yo9u can provide to have them reach the next level of success&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then let them have what they want!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
