"The more stuff you own the harder you have to work to maintain it."

We are finally acting on this truth!

This recession is doing some great things to our society. Peggy Noonan’s editorial this Saturday, April 18th, in the Wall Street Journal captures the transition of Americans’ hearts, minds and wallets brilliantly.

My presentation of “Cash Flow Positive Forever” (also found in this blog site) presents the business changes necessary to be successful. This is not a business as usual recession. There are changes taking place at a fundamental level in our society that cannot be ignored by business.

You can be early to the party or late to the party but you must be at the party. Making changes now to your business in structure, pricing and market positioning will provide great rewards short-term and long-term. Making these changes now is easier than waiting, assuming you have the cash to hold on until the necessity of the changes becomes clear.

I am a Peggy Noonan fan. She was a speech writer for Ronald Reagan and has the unique gift of seeing Americans for who we are and communicating it in a way that has you saying, “She gets it. That is exactly what I am thinking.”

Great find Charlie. I first learned this lesson from you. Nice to see others are discussing it now as well.

Peggy Noonan is a brilliant writer actually. However, she doesn't understand everyone's mind.

Thanks Charlie,

I agree with much of this and am trying to learn these lessons myself. I believe that many entrepreneurs, as crazy as their lives seem, are really seeking this kind of peace. A peace in knowing that they are their own master. The self-determination is the same. We just try to do so within the hustle and bustle environment on which we were raised.
