The economy is freaking everyone out. We’re all feeling it. Companies are laying off thousands of employees. Our customers and prospects are freezing purchases and contracts. And yet, we all need to stay in business, survive, and perhaps even thrive.

So, how do you do it? What are the strategies and tactics you can begin to deploy NOW to keep you afloat in these incredibly uncertain times? What are ten things you can begin to do right now, this month, this week, even this morning that will combat the financial crisis blues to ensure that your bottom line doesn’t bottom out?

In this webinar, David Gewirtz, author of The Flexible Enterprise: How to Reinvent Your Company, Unlock Your Strengths and Prosper in a Changing World and a small business owner himself will showcase techniques and tactics he’s used to weather down time over the 20 years he’s been in business and will list a set of action items you must do to make 2009 a successful year. Feel free to share these techniques with other business owners you know — especially your clients!
