Even in a recession – Be your own boss
There’s no better way to get out of the doldrums of this recession than to start thinking creatively. Especially now when men and women have the opportunity to re-think their careers and in what work they want to devote their precious time, perhaps this is the moment to start their own companies. Our radio vignettes on KNX and KFWB starting Monday June 1st are meant to inspire and help you take the leap–and be thoughtful about it. Building a business around your passion is the best way to get started, but if you can’t identify that one passion–or you have too many interests to dwell on just one–we hope our experience as business-owners will trigger your creativity and innovation. Those words may sound daunting at the outset, but we hope to peel back the layers of caution, and with strategic thinking, you can be your own boss. Why not? Even for those who don’t have that special “dream” mission in mind, we are here to prompt healthy dialog. You’ll hear much more on our brand new 2-minute news features on KNX (1070-AM) and KFWB (980-AM). If you like the show, please tell others to listen in.
