January/February Recession Blues

We have had a fall recession, reduced Christmas, Jan. ice storm, Feb. wind storm, electrical outage (20+ days since Feb '08), phone outage, DSL outage, layoffs, reduced workload and other assorted problems, not to mention financial woes.
How do you Overcome Your Own Personal Recession? I want to talk to you about this, because everybody I know is dealing with some aspect of the recession and is asking me for advice. So, here goes.
First, let's talk about getting our own act together. Are you up to speed on your business? Up-to-date on your technology, industry and clients' needs? What do you have that you can GIVE to them. That's right; NOW is the time to GIVE your clients' all the help they can use from you. Just think, as this recession fades, they are depending on the only one who was willing to give them help. The only one who was there FOR THEM! Who do you think will get the business when things get better? YOU WILL! Next, What about your Marketing?
