The economic landscape is unstable and a lot of people are concerned. Unlike last year at this time, I’m seeing delays in closing deals. This makes sense. With the stock market’s swoons, there isn’t the same amount of money in people’s pockets. At least it doesn’t feel that way.
In the worst responses to uncertainty, people hide. Maybe it’s because they think if they keep their heads down, the bad times will skip over them. Maybe it’s because they just don’t know what to say.
But that’s actually the opposite of what they should be doing. Recent history is filled with stories of businesses that disappeard because they mistakenly believed there was no way to tell an up story in a down market.
