I have been thinking a lot lately about the economy and the markets. People will come up to me and ask "Is your phone ringing off the hook"? "Are your clients extremely worried about the market"? My response to both is NO.
When you have a strategy and you stick to your plan, there isn't a great deal of need to overreact. If you don't have a plan or strategy, then there could be some issues. This doesn't mean that folks are content with the way the economy, government, or future looks and are walking blindly. There is time to take action and make changes to your plans...I AGREE. My Question (and somewhat answer) today is
WHAT CAUSES PEOPLE TO NOT TAKE ANY ACTION ON THEIR FUTURE?
We are in the middle of a pretty scary time, the signs are all around us. WE have the government stepping in on a $700 billion bailout, AIG, WAMU, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae needing assistance, the rest of the world slipping as well, and we are not sure where to turn. Is fear that overriding?
It is my belief that we are in the middle of the greatest economic opportunity ever. The chances we will have to better our lives is more evident in down economies than is rising ones. We seek out new ways to invest money, new ways to make money, turn to our friends and family for support, trust in support groups, want to be involved in our communities, and look to the Higher Power, God or Yahweh (whatever your belief)to carry us through. WE need those support groups and definitely need our Higher Power, but don't use that as a crutch to make yourself feel better. Use the support as a resource to believe in yourself and take action!!
Now is the time to move forward
Now is the time to develop new financial and business muscles
Now is the time to realize YOU will succeed much faster with support
Now is the time to lean into your faith
I am excited about the future and the times that are upon us. I look forward to helping anyway I can, please share your thoughts and let others know how you can help. We feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to be of service, have the clients we do, and appreciate each and everyone of you!
