Rally Time

According to those in the know, today is the dawn of a new day. We awake with a new President, one who inspires and appears to have the chops to effectively lead. Regardless of where your politics stand, he ran perhaps the most masterful political campaign in history, a nearly flawless transition plan (whoops on Bill Richardson) and appears to have the stature and respect to return the US to its rightful place as the beacon of hop. Forget Joe DiMaggio, our nation/world turns its lonely eyes to Barack Obama!

In acknowledging the return of hope, today's post will be dedicated to only positive business items. To begin, I would like to extend a big thanks to the Darby O'Brien Agency and the Log Cabin for hosting their Rally for Western Mass last night. It was a great turnout and provided the positive energy that we need for these challenging times.

According to yesterday's Wall St. Journal, its a good time to be in the liquidating business. That means there are great buy opportunities for those willing to spend a little cash. The Goodwill Blog has a post on management lessons we can learn from the new President; apparently, Hope is more than just a small town in Arkansas! Lastly, Mavericks at Work author Bill Taylor has a great post on summoning your animal spirit. The bottom line of the post for me is times like this are great for opportunists. Now is the time to start a business and take risks because down times are when people create ventures that make a difference and make real money.

Go get em tiger!
