			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000080;">What we focus on expands. </span></strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Are you going to let this recession determine your fate?</strong></span><strong> </strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_1089" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 155px"><a href="http://sherylsever.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/rubylee_caban.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1089  " title="rubylee_caban" src="http://sherylsever.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/rubylee_caban-226x300.jpg" alt="CABAN by artist Ruby Lee" width="145" height="192" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">CABAN by artist Ruby Lee</p></div>

<p><span style="color: #000080;">Now is not the time to retreat, recoil or recede. It&#8217;s time to move forward with more confidence and certainty than ever with 100% participation! &#8211; <em>John Asaraf</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Focus on the  possibilities, opportunties,  what&#8217; s needed.  How can you  as an awakened entrepreneur build your product, brand and services to truly serve others in this time?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">My former client of 3 years, McGraw-Hill Publishers, recently released a market study and found that companies that </span><strong><span style="color: #000080;">maintained (or increased) their marketing </span></strong><span style="color: #000080;">throughout the 1981-82 recession saw an average sales growth of 275 percent through 1987.  But those companies who cut their marketing saw meager sales growth of 19 percent over the next five years.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The truth is, this might be the best time in 70 years to build a really great business. According to other marketing gurus, this is what happens in recessionary times:</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000080;">The people who maintain their focus and take the right actions, in the right order, come out way ahead. </span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><br />
And this is where I come in.  Are you a small business owner frozen in fear? Are the phrases &#8220;economic crisis or &#8220;financial crisis&#8221; part of your daily mantra? Or are you the warrior ready to lead the way with a clear vision, strategic action plan, and the right power partners in place?</span></p>
