IF you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

a cautious glance

November 24, 2008

 

with all the volatile changes that have been rocking the financial markets and other economic areas lately, one can’t help but wonder if things are ever going to settle down long enough so we can get our bearings straightened out. it’s not just the local market — although thankfully the jolts that we have experienced so far haven’t been as unnerving as those experienced by major economic players — it’s happening practically everywhere in varying degrees.

at times like these, i guess it’s only natural that we become even more careful with our financial resources, especially for those who are on lookout for a good small business opportunity. depending on the size and stability of your resources, it might be nice to look into franchising, especially if you get involved with well-known brand names and niches such as hotel business or fast food business. regardless of how the economy turns out, we all know that there will always be people who will continue to travel for business or for pleasure, and of course fastfood chains will always be a familar landmark within an urban landscape.

of course, it’s still important to hold on to your nest egg. it’s always nice to have a fallback plan in case things don’t work out. still, there’s a risk to everything we do — and what’s rather ironic is that doing nothing can wind up to be the biggest risk of all. well. let’s hope 2009 will be a better year for us all.
