I feel very, very fortunate that my entire life seems to have been amazing preparation for these times. My six Outward Bound wilderness experiences have been great preparation for surviving in challenging environments. My work with Scotty, a multiply disabled young man for whom my wife and I are his caregivers, has taught me valuable life lessons about the role of the right attitude, especially under challenging circumstances. My twenty five years on the front lines of the Restructuring world has taught me the strategies and tactics that are critical to saving a company. And, my dozen years of advising growth companies has helped me to hone my understanding of what it takes to start and grow a successful business, no matter the circumstances.
Because of the pain I see so many companies and individuals feeling, I decided to launch this blog. Through regular posts, I will be sharing my best thoughts on what I…and others…believe will be the strategies and tactics for surviving, thriving, and even prospering in these tough times. Does Dave Carpenter have all the answers? Hardly! Like every one of you, I learning new lessons every day. But, as I observe, and even sometimes stumble about, I will share my very latest thinking on what it will take to prosper in the 2008-2009 recession.
Here are the top posts, that readers have communicated as being the most helpful to date…some of the posts deal with business issues, others deal with personal dimensions:
- Tough Times Never Last
- Put On Your Oxygen Mask First
- Abundant Opportunities
- Saving Your Job
- Finding a Job
- Embracing the Recession
