What do you see?

Just curious, when you look at the aftermath of all of the snowmageddon on the east coast, what do you see? OK, if you guessed SNOW, you are close. But what does an entrepreneur see? What does an unemployed entrepreneur see? I'll tell you exactly what they see.



They see sidewalks that need to be cleared, driveways that need to be cleared, cars that need to be dug out. I see JOBS! Probably CASH jobs. So if you are unemployed, living in those areas that have been hit with the record setting snowfall or if you are unemployed and can get to the areas with the record setting snowfall, grab a shovel, knock on some doors, ring some door bells, visit some businesses that need sidewalks cleared in front of their businesses and look at the silver lining of the storm.



In my opinion, that is the difference between a conservative and a liberal. A conservative looks at a situation that may appear to be an obstacle and they try to figure out how to overcome the obstacle. A liberal looks at a situation that may appear to be an obstacle and says, what is the government going to do to save me?



This Snowmageddon is no different than the economic situation we are currently experiencing, we need to band together, jump into the fray and determine how we are going to overcome the economic storm we are in. We are up to our eyeballs and in a mess that appears impossible, but we can dig out one shovel at a time. It's not going to be pretty, but in the infamous words of Martin Luther King, WE SHALL OVERCOME!



Yeah, I said it and you are entitled to my opinion! VN8
