If you intend to have something different take place in your life in 2009, do something this year that you haven’t done in past years.

To not do something different yet expect different or improved results is the definition of insanity.

You’re somehow considering opening a business of your own or you wouldn’t likely have run into this article.

I encourage you to “Just Do It” as Nike says.

Over the weekend the Wall Street Journal had an article titled “Yearly Job Loss Worst Since 1945″.

You know who didn’t get laid off or fired first during this contraction (or any other)?

The owners.

That’s right. The owners do the layoffs and only lose their jobs so to speak if things get really, really bad.

So what does that tell you?

It should say something like “I may as well be the owner instead of the employee”.

So Just Do It.

Search, consider, gather information on your next business.

Then do something!

Only then will your 2009 be different than your 2008.
