\nTell yourself everything is fine and pretend that the recession will just go away. Denial is one of the first lines of defense. It\u2019s your reaction to news you don\u2019t want to hear. We all use it, but it\u2019s only a temporary way to block out bad news and no matter how long you stay in denial it doesn\u2019t make anything better.<\/p>\n

\nIf your growth plans are on the shelf and your profits are shrinking you can look for someone to blame. I can think of a few financial wizards, who are morally bankrupt, to be mad at. But ultimately being angry won\u2019t make you rich.<\/p>\n
\nIf you read the news, see how many people are losing their jobs, or take a look at your profits, it\u2019s easy to get depressed. You could just give up and ask yourself, \u201cWhy bother with anything?\u201d It\u2019s natural to feel this way but at some point if you want to start attracting more clients and making more money you\u2019ll need to move beyond depression to\u2026<\/p>\n
\nThe few smart economists who predicted this recession tell us that you and I are going to be dealing with it for five to eight years. If you accept this and can move beyond denial, anger and depression then you\u2019ll accept that the rules have changed and you can\u2026<\/p>\n
\nChange the way you market your business. If you want different results you\u2019re going to need to change the way you generate leads, and find out how to close more sales and generate more revenue from each client.<\/p>\n
\nLast year, in early 2008, just when this recession was really kicking in, I got a call from Mary Ellen and Ed, a pair of therapists in California who were struggling to attract new clients and build a profitable practice. They were at a break even point but needed 50% more clients to reach their goals.<\/p>\n
\nWhen we started working together, their web site was closer to an online brochure and it wasn\u2019t working to generate leads.<\/p>\n
\nIn an effort to drive traffic to their site, Mary Ellen and Ed had been spending thousands of dollars each month on pay per click ads. With a site that wasn\u2019t working to convert visitors to valuable prospects this was a waste of money and killing their profits.<\/p>\n
\nEd had been writing a newsletter but it seemed like no one was reading it much less picking up the phone to talk to him or Mary Ellen about their services.<\/p>\n
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Would you like to have all the clients you can handle?
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Want to make more this year?<\/p>\n
