“Wellll, In This Economy…”
Let’s all stop starting sentences with this (usually accompanied by a sigh).
Also on my “Do Not Say” list:
“Maybe when the economy picks up…” Like when will that be? Can you afford to wait?
“I can’t do anything about…” Sure, there are many things I can’t directly and immediately affect…from global warming to the big bank “rescues”…but I can do something about my attitude, my business development and my local economy.
“He/She/They will never (agree/say yes/do it)” I’ll never know unless I ask. (Duh!) Sometimes all people need is to be asked. Note: I said “ask” not “blurt cold outta da blue.” More from Seth Godin on how/when to ask.
“When will the government do something about (health care/the economy/the environment/the highway potholes)? On one hand, people complain about government interference and those darned taxes…on the other, we expect “the government” to take care of everything (we just don’t want to have to actually do anything…like vote or pay taxes…)

I agree completely. So much, in fact, that I just twttered about it. Reminds me of the old Pogo cartoon where he said something like,” We have met the enemy and he is ourselves.”
Do something TODAY to help dig us out of this hole we’re in.
