I agree wholeheartedly with all your points. (retweeted by purplekitten)
I’m an IT Trainer, and I’ve changed my business model dramatically over the last few months. Opportunities have arisen that weren’t there before, and the recession is just making me cheekier in getting work.
Just take a look at what a business already is, and then turn it into additional or different applications. I now offer online training which I’d never have thought of 12 months ago. I’m happy to report that the recession, while not exactly helping me become richer, is not hurting me either.
