Is it a Recession?

With gas prices above $4.00 a gallon most everywhere, higher food prices and a seriously depressed real estate market, all the signs point to a recession. It’s going to require some serious tightening of belts and innovative thinking to keep businesses alive during the down economy. This is when being willing to adjust your old ways and incorporate new ideas can pay off. For example, if the cost of commuting to the office is financially painful, who says you need an office? Today’s technology makes it entirely possible for many businesses to be run without an actual office. Save not only the gas money, but the overhead of renting office space by utilizing e-mail, the internet and virtual assistance. Kick the office to the curb and go virtual!
