I just don’t know about “the recession” we’re supposed to be in. Business has been very good and we’re hiring. Our current clients all seem to be doing well and optimistic.

I do know that sometimes (at least with me) a recession can be in my mindset. How I perceive business to be for us Goldfish can change at times but I find that I’m the one that decides, based on the short term and that’s a mistake (for a few reasons).

If I buy into the recession mentality I’m really doing a number on myself and my business. It’s not fair to either one of us (especially the business). So when I get the feeling there’s more room in the fish bowl, I ask myself…

Pipeline not as full as you would like it? Well then, let’s “2 more” the problem.

2 more phone calls per day to potential clients.
2 more emails per day to potential clients.
2 more hours per day of brainstorming better solutions for my clients.
2 more current hosting clients I can ask for referrals.

Just thinking about things “by the numbers” helps me.
And…I know this sounds like I’m all wet to some of you….actually doing the things on my “2 more” list helps even more.

Here’s to you and 2 more!
