It is always interesting to look back to see what innovators of the past have done to overcome their hurdles. Incidentally a number of companies ...
were actually formed during recessions. You may have heard of some of them: General Electric, IBM, Fisher-Price Microsoft, Kraft and The Walt Disney Company. Despite the odds, these corporate giants grew at a time when the economy was at its worst. So is it possible that doing business in a recession could have its advantages?
Taking advantage of a recession while competitors are downsizing is what enabled several other corporate giants to jump up and increase their market share, which in turn grew them at a faster rate than anticipated for a recession. Some of these companies were Intel, Best Buy, Google, Cisco, Southwest and many more.
Structuring your company to grow in a recession could be the most important business decision you can make. Weather the storm and be poised for rapid growth upon the immersion from this recession. There are so many actions a business can perform to prepare itself for such potential but hiding in a corner and waiting for the good times to roll, isn't one of them.
Now is the time to utilize government incentives, loans, grants and tax breaks to build a stronger organization. Take this time to outsource/hire the skills your company needs at the best rates in the last decade. Develop your strategic plan for your future. Dream of what your business can become and make it a reality.
