We are the economy

So I think it is time. Time to stop telling everyone that you lost your job or your business is down or your income is down... because of the bad economy. We are the economy. So are we what is bad? There is an arugument that says yes. Everyone needs to remember that a lot of what is going on out there is our own fault. That's right, I said it. The decisions and actions that we as Americans both individually and through our companies made are the reason we are in a down economy. So we as Americans need to rise up and change things to get back to work and grow our businesses. The blame game is easy. Easily played and easily believed. You end up telling yourself that it is the government, or the banks but at the end of the day.. it is you. I haven't enjoyed the past year from a business standpoint... but I can say that I have enjoyed the challenge and the opportunity to make good decisions, to work hard and to make things happen in the face of adversity. Another decision for you... a decision to do it and make it happen yourself. I love it.
