Every time I hear about the bailout I can’t help but wondering, “Where’s my $700 billion dollar bailout? Hey, I’d even be happy with just a couple billion.”
Unless you work for one of the Wall Street firms or banks that created this crisis, you know that you’ll never see a dime of the proposed bailout. And in fact you and your children and their grandchildren will be paying for it.
What can you do to bailout your business in these tough times?
I’ve owned boats all my life, small motorboats and sailboats, and periodically passing rain storms fill the bottom of the boat with water. This makes the boat sit low in the water and go slow. The obvious solution is to bail the boat!
Let me ask you one question?
Who do you think ends up bailing my boats?
I do. Over the years, I’ve been responsible for bailing my boats. If I didn’t they’d sink.
While Wall Street may be looking for and getting a bailout, the only one who is going to bailout your small business is you. But I bet you knew that already.
If you want to bailout your business, and put in on the track to success, the simple answer is find out what works. Find out the fastest way to attract clients, keep them coming back and maximize your profits.
When you do, you’ll discover yourself making more than ever and laughing at the failures of Wall Street all the way to the bank.

Yea Charley, seems like it is always “us”, “I” or “me” who end up paying for the completely irresponsible behavior of the “them’s”. And when it comes time for relief from one of our bad business decisions or one of life’s bad turns, “we” are told to just shut up, suck it in and pay our taxes. The way I look at it, the money they are giving to the idiots on Wall Street (since they have it to give) would be better spent by dividing it up and giving each family an equal share to pay off their own debts, thus bailing the banks out through the market forces, not charity or additional irrational behavior.

Even some of us small private contractors are wondering where all this money is coming from. After all, if the US can sum up 700 billion, put it back into the economy, and fix everything, why hasn’t it done so already?
What it really comes down to is marketing yourself to your public. If you can effectively target your audience, and you have a product that is somehow necessary to their everyday lives, you will inevitably sell your product. So what you need to do, really, is make your product indispensable, and prove it with your marketing tactics!
Otherwise, you’ll be waiting around for 700 billion that will eventually end up right where it started off.
