In early 2008, recession is definitely the buzzword of the day. Before we talk about how to stay afloat during a recession, let’s define what a recession is. The simple definition is this: An extended decline in general business activity. However, when you hear about a recession in the news, they are typically referring to the broader definition with reference to the country’s economy.

The National Bureau of Economic Research formally defines a recession as three consecutive quarters of falling real gross domestic product.

Surviving during a recession (whether it be broad-based, just in your state, city, or even company) is no easy task. Money is tight, and for most Americans, this means that before you were making it from paycheck to paycheck, but now you aren’t. That squeeze can have many effects, many of them not just financial. Stress leads to depression, which leads to decreased productivity, and the cycle continues.

The first key to surviving a recession is to realize that it will be over soon. Most recessions typically last for 6 to 18 months. This can seem like a long time during the recession, but it’s really not that long in the larger sense of things.

Here’s 5 things to do to manage during a recession:

1. Refinance your mortgage. Almost every time we are heading into a recession, or already there, the federal reserve will lower interest rates to stimulate the economy. If you’re in a high-rate mortgage, refinance now. Not only will it lower your payment, you’ll save thousands of dollars in interest over the long term.

2. If your finances are tight, resist the urge to splurge. If you don’t need it now, wait until the recession is over. You’ll thank yourself later.

3. Keep your job, or get a job! Employers feel the squeeze during these times, too, so make sure you are not a dispensable employee. Shape up if you have to, and make sure now more than ever you are doing what’s best for the company.

4. If you happen to have a little extra spending cash, now is a time for good deals. Companies need to stimulate sales, so they will be offering their best deals. Just like mortgages, if you’ve had your eye on something special (and you have the funds) now’s the time to buy.

5. Don’t stress out. If you’re struggling financially, so is almost everyone else. Just track your money closely, don’t spend more than you earn, and take extra time appreciating the things that matter most in your life.

China’s premier Wen Jiabao says the world could still fall into a double-dip recession and is warning against complacency. At his annual press conference, China’s number two leader has warned that the world has not yet escaped the clutches of the global financial crisis. Mr Wen said some of the major problems which caused the crisis have not been fully resolved. He said there is still a possibility of a double-dip global recession and many Chinese companies are being kept afloat by emergency stimulus measures. Given the possible danger ahead, Mr Wen indicated China was not ready to allow its currency to appreciate. He told the two-hour news conference that calls from the world’s big economies for China to lift the value of its currency were unhelpful and protectionist. “The road ahead is not smooth and may be full of twists and turns,” he said….. www.abc.net.au CHINA’S Premier, Wen Jiabao, has warned that the world risks sliding back into recession and says his country faces a difficult year trying to maintain economic growth and spur development. Mr Wen said yesterday China would not give in to foreign pressure to raise the value of its currency or withdraw stimulus measures put in place in late 2008 to pull the country out of the crisis. In a rare two-hour news conference at the end of China’s annual session of parliament, Mr Wen called for more reforms to the world’s financial system as China ponders policy choices aimed at fighting rising inflation while increasing …

This article is about two things: recessions and a solution to them.

Don’t worry this is not an economic treatise about the definitions and causes of economic downturns sometimes called recessions. Rather, it is an explanation of how we can think about these events differently and, when these circumstances surround us, how we can improve our results regardless of what the media tells us.

While regional, national or global level economic indicators can show that an economy is slowing down, that people are losing their jobs and the like, I believe that for individuals, a recession is little more than a change in circumstances that we can choose to participate in . . . or not. I would argue that recessions don’t even exist for us as individuals, unless we allow them to.

Recessions and Our Response

First, if you are reading this and have lost your job or are facing significant changes in your situation due to the events being labeled “recession”, please don’t get angry with my comments, but continue reading with an open mind. Use these ideas to be proactive in dealing with the opportunity you are now facing.

The media and/or politicians may say we are in a recession. And yet, businesses are still buying products and services (though perhaps a bit less than ‘normal’) and businesses are still hiring employees and moving forward.

The key for you and your business is to be the one who gets a larger percentage of the orders or the interviews or job offers that are available. In this proactive way you can choose to recognize that recessions are macro not micro events. You have a choice about how you will view the event the media calls “recession.”

What I’m saying is that times might be a little tougher and that it might not be as easy as it used to be (or will be again), but so what? You can succeed through a better plan and a bit of persistence. When things are a little tougher, it simply separates out those who are prepared to work harder and more creatively.

Our Best Response

After you have readjusted your views on what a recession is, and how you can most proactively view those circumstances, your next actions should be focused on the source of your income and profits: Your Customers.

You may call them something else: Clients, Patients, Students, Participants, Users, or Participants. Or you may be thinking, “Kevin I work inside the organization, I don’t deal with our paying Customers.” That’s fine, you still have Customers. Other departments, the people who you give your work to, the people who give you work, all of these people are your internal Customers. (If you “only” have internal Customers, read on, apply the points and wait for a special message for you before I close.)

Whatever you call them and whoever they are, your Customers are your personal recession buster – but only if you focus on them more completely, deeply and consistently than ever. Think about it this way – your Customers are the source of all revenue for your organization; your Customers write your paycheck. It makes sense to build and deepen your relationships with them always, but that is never more true than in times where they are buying less and probably distracted by the economy themselves.

Your Customers are looking for new solutions. Your Customers want help. Your Customers need you.

Five Ideas

Here are five ways you can focus on deepening your relationships with your Customers, starting right now.

Get in touch. Stop by, make a call, send a handwritten note, send an email (in that order of priority – the further up this list the more valuable the contact will be). Let them know you care, take the effort to be connected.

Stay in touch. Don’t make this contact a one-time event but part of an ongoing process of staying in touch, connected and at the top of the mind for your Customer.

Ask how you can help them. No strings and no qualifiers. Do you appreciate it when someone offers to help you with something? So will your Customers, even if they don’t take you up on the offer.

Educate them. Send an article, share an idea. After you know how you can help or what their challenges are, it will be easier to determine the best things to share based on their interests and needs.

Focus on serving not selling. People buy from those they like, trust and respect. Sales will come. Focus on the person, building the relationship and serving them.

These are just five ideas – you probably can come up with fifty-five more. Your challenge is to find ways to be relevant, helpful and available to your Customers.

A Final Thought

Before I close, I promised those with internal Customers a final thought. If you will do the things above, you will help your internal Customer better serve the paying Customer. When you sparkle in these efforts, they may even get ideas from your actions to apply with their Customers.

Regardless of where you sit in the organization you can have a direct impact on business success by your actions. Focus those actions on improving relationships with your Customers, whoever they are.

——————————————————————————–

Potential Pointer: Recessions can be damaging events to you and your business, or they can be a perfect reminder and stimulus to improve your results by deepening and broadening your relationships with your Customers. When you make the right choices and take the right actions in building Customer relationships you will thrive in any economic situation.

www.KyleClouse.com In this 10 minute section of an interview conducted by Mike Dillard with Robert Kiyosaki on October 9, 2008, Robert explains that the United States economic recession is only going to get worse and what you can do to prepare. If you are concerned about your financial future I highly recommend sitting in a quiet area and listening intently to this interview with Robert Kiyosaki. One thing that Robert mentions is that job security is a myth and that people need to start looking for other streams of income. Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki both recommend getting started in network marketing.

According to the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are nearly 31 million people currently unemployed — that’s including those involuntarily working parttime and those who want a job, but have given up on trying to find one. In the face of the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression, millions of Americans are hurting. “The Decline: The Geography of a Recession,” as created by labor writer LaToya Egwuekwe, serves as a vivid representation of just how much. Watch the deteriorating transformation of the US economy from January 2007 — approximately one year before the start of the recession — to the most recent unemployment data available today.
