I’m sitting out on my deck looking over today’s headlines. Paulson was warning international leaders against “isolationism and protectionism.” The Dow avg. is 8451.19, down precipitously from over 10,000. And yet I remain optimistic. Money is everywhere.
To be sure, I know there is suffering. And I’m mindful of it. (I wonder if it’s more or less than usual on the whole.) And not to seem too opportunistic, but there is great stuff happening in my little world, and for my clients. So we just turn up the marketing in the recession.
So I say, let the folks in D.C. and on Wall Street handle it. Just pay attention, because there are ways to counter any attack on your assets, and to come out ahead in any downturn. At least relatively. So go and learn about money. Once you know how to preserve yours, get back to finding more of it. And put it under your control.
How to control more money? More resources? In the past we had real estate. Commercial and residential. Now you can “own” chunks of the internet. Set up static html sites. You own those domains. But then there’s also free sites. You lay claim to them for free. Now, with all the social media, online real estate has exploded. There’s more of it to own than ever. Unlike the tangible form, there’s more virtual real estate every day.
Plenty to go around, but stake your claim. The competition for getting to the top of the search engines isn’t slowing down, whatever is happening on Wall Street.
