If you cant see the correlation between banks going under and your work......then the very best of luck to you  :)

I have been arguing this point for over a year on this site (and over THREE years on other sites!) that we are entering very uncertain times and you need to plan accordingly.

You dont think a bank going under (with those associated job losses) and ramifications for business's that borrow from that bank?



I wish I could be so casual.

If your customer loses their job - this will directly impact on YOUR business. True or false?

I dont expect or want or need you to listen to what I say. What possible motive could I have for 'wishing' my business model to fail?

A friend of mine often uses a saying that I think is very appropriate. He says "If you move one grain of sand on a beach every other piece of sand is affected"

Casual? yeah right

you still miss the point ,whether the banks or anyone else goes down you are still in control of your business.

Stop looking for sympathy or a government bale out and get out there and find some new business

I don't think anyone on here was looking for a government bailout! Just generally discussing the current economic situation!

Banks closing may be out of our control but it affects everyone's business - surely it is best to look at all outcomes for the future rather than being short-sighted and ending up in trouble?

Not when you have all the banks money lol

Seriously i understand what all you mean and it is important to be aware of the economic climate
but c'mon how do you think the climate is going to improve if you all sit brooding and worrying

As others have said we are talking ourselves into recession, whether the country or the global climate is failing it doesn't have to impact on you

We lost a major client before xmas and forsaw all the down sides but guess who just won the largest contract of their short business lives

Stand up straight look in the mirror and say "today I am going to be enthusiastic, driven and succesful"

so what if the banks are going down if you work hard enough maybe you can benefit from the bigger unemployment queues, now we get to pick and choose our workers, they have to fit in with our needs not like the past years when the job market was so bouyant that they could pick and choose who to work for.

Maybe you can employ the bank staff, maybe global warming will kill us all off maybe maybe maybe

I have just checked and the pound is down to $1.37, I was getting £2 for a quid last August.
Ooh, that's good news!
I'm waiting for a $200 payment from New York for some photography work, and that means I'll get £135-odd instead of £100. ;D

On the topic...

I've had one customer cut back to 8-weekly, and that's it.

Depends where you live I suppose.
If you're in an industrial area (like up north) then there will be job losses.
Where I live every other car is a Range Rover, so I ain't worried.

Or if 'big and bouncy  NY' decide to  bump you squeaks you are down £137 instead of £100.
