A key question that I ask myself is "Where do I hope to be when the recovery starts?" The only logical answer is "Better off because of my actions during the downturn."
Even though many people are fearful for their jobs, even though our jobs may be in jeopardy, we still need to keep improving ourself. We still need to work on our career and work on ourself. It is just as important as ever to improve. Keep reading, keep inquiring, and keep getting better.
I believe that we should be devoting the same amount of effort to self improvement as in good and prosperous times of great opportunity. Every day is linked to the future and all efforts put into self improvement will affect your future, tomorrow, next month, and next year.
While this recession may be a game changer for the structure of the business world, the same attributes that have always lead to success will still be important in the future. Hard and smart work, devotion to improvement, and committment to life-long learning will always be critical to success.
Use this time to improve. Use this time to postion yourself for advancement. Don't wait. Get busy.
