Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for
tomorrow.
The important thing is to not stop questioning.

Einstein
Dear Friends,
The May 18th edition of Minyanville
featured an provoking article by John Mauldin raising questions about the
analysis and statistics that are published about the current economic
situation...and suggest that perhaps we are running on a "Faith-Based
Economy"
And why not. As mentioned last week, we
believe that today's economy is not upheld by the big greedy institutions but by
the positive spirit of the people we meet daily, the small businesses and even
those who are struggling to establish their home businesses after losing their
jobs which they have held for the longest time. They all know that they can only
half believe what their politicians tell them, but are determined to make
a better life for themselves and their families. It is this positive spirit and
faith that keeps us hopeful, and the economy going.
An SEO friend down in Perth, Australia asked, "Hey
what Recovery signs are you looking for? We have never done so well
before!

Risk Management Coaching Tips for
the Week
- Identify Risks: These risks could be due to static risk fire or
forces of nature, or dynamic business risk due to obsolescence,
competition and market demand changes.
- Quantifying Risks: Identified risks need to be quantified in terms of
potential loss of income and reputation caused by the actual loss, as well as
further loss of income until the risk is tackled and eliminated
- Formulating Strategies to Contain the Identified Risks: As has been
said earlier, you cannot run a business without running a risk or taking a
chance. What you can do, however, is to contain the risk so as to limit
potential losses
- Implementing Strategies: Strategies, no matter how good they are, are
useless unless they are put into practice. Putting strategies into practice also
helps to evaluate their utility and identify company shortcomings.
- Continuous Monitoring of Risk Containment Tasks: Risk containment
tasks have to be constantly monitored to ensure that the risk that they present
is tackled promptly and thereby minimized. Continuous monitoring ensures that
the changing needs of the business are met.
