Will business opportunites continue to tighten?

Well, with the Fed, Congress, current and future presidents trying to create an escape out of our current economic crisis...we collectively sit and wait. What exactly does this mean for our business? As the usual streams of business slow to a trickle, we collectively need to learn to save, conserve, manage...AND SELL!!! Despite all the doom and gloom predictions, warnings, etc. we can still get out there and beat our competition. There still is business out there to capture...it's just the manner in which it is done. Creativity, perseverance and a positive attitude will take you farther than ever before. USAToday posted the following, titled "Business meetings could get smaller if economy falters";

"Meetings, conferences and conventions in the coming months may get smaller and less lavish as airlines slash domestic flights, travel costs rise and the economy drags.
At the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, for instance, companies are starting to reduce budgets for everything from management meetings to rallies for sales teams. Fewer guests are expected than last fall, and more companies are replacing steak dinners with chicken entrees and limiting open bars to save money, says Gail McLaughlin, who coordinates private events."

Give me your thoughts.
