The banks got billions of TARP (Troubled Asset Recovery Program) dollars over the past 9 months. And now, the Small Business Administration has announced that TARP dollars will start flowing through to small businesses across the country.
Each small business that has suffered "Economic Injury due to the Recession" is eligible for this "disaster relief" just by filling out a few simple forms at the local bank. $35,000 is waiting for your business if it made money in one of the last two years and if you have bills piled up this year due to the slowdown.

We've all gotten used to the logic put out by some of the brilliant marketing people in Corporate America that their companies are too big to fail. In fact they're so big that their failure might cause a ripple through the United States and the World economies that we might not be able to recover from. This logic has gotten these companies tens, if not hundreds, of billions of dollars. This marketing logic has cost taxpayers enormously.
As an advocate of entrepreneurial companies, I ask this as a follow up question: if you are too big to fail, are you too big to be in business? These companies that are so big have nearly monopolistic control of their industries. The companies that are too big to fail have so much control and domination that it's nearly impossible and certainly unfair for smaller entrepreneurial companies to have any chance of competing with them, if not against them.

I normally don't get terribly philosophical, but today is one of those days that I'm thinking about my life and my business in a new way. I consider today to be the first day of my new life and of a series of new opportunities. I want to consider things in a new way and try things that I hadn't tried before. In a certain way, it's like January 1st, only this time it's not about resolutions — it's really about being open-minded and taking a new direction for my life.
It doesn't hurt that it's also my birthday. But, today helps me to think about all the new things that I can do to make my life exactly the way that I want it. This economy has caused all of us at Growth-Logic to think in a new way. It's caused everyone on my team to regroup and be more focused on things that are relevant to us. We're more focused on the specific kinds of seminars that are relevant to our audience. We're more focused on doing asset based transactions, and getting involved in the deal business. I am going back to the roots of my training.

In the heat of baseball season, I cannot help but to derive a few metaphors from my favorite sport.
It is said that in baseball pitching is 75 to 90 percent of the game. Pitching is defensive, but you cannot win a baseball game with 90 percent excellence in pitching. You also have to have good offense because offense is what puts runs on the board and dollars in the bank. And consequently, it is the focus on the offense that Growth-Logic uses to drive its strategies. This is not to diminish the importance of a defense or operational administrative posture, but it is our orientation to focus on the business, and not just on its operation and efficiency.

Many professionals and other people who I know have very few references that point to them on Google. For whatever reason they fail to write articles or publish papers that make it into the enormous catalog that makes up Google.
I regularly advise people to increase the volume of their Google references by publishing and producing material for at least two reasons. First, the population at large (your potential clients) can find you easier the more Google entries you have; and secondly, there is a certain perception about the value that you bring to your end-user population based on the number of entries that are found in Google. Somehow your competence and your credentials are reinforced by having a significant Google presence.
So, what's the easiest way to create a Google presence?

So many people who I know are whining and moaning about the effects of the bad economy on their business. I can't deny that this economy has had devastating effects for many people. And even though the media is saying that the recession might be over, the truth is that unemployment lags the rest of the economic indicators. That means that many more layoffs are on the horizon, and many more businesses are going to go down the drain as a result of the economy that we've experienced over the last 6 to 12 months or more.
All is not lost, however, as a result of the recession. At my company, the mantra for this year is "be superlative." That means that we have to be the best, the strongest, the fastest, the hungriest, and the people who want the business the most.

I was at the gym yesterday, talking to a long-time friend who had just finished a conversation with one of his friends. My friend said that he was quoting me when he told this friend that "everybody has to cooperate during these difficult times so that we can help one another be the best that we can be." The response from his friend was that every man is out for himself because that's human nature.
My theme — especially in these difficult times — is that we have to help each other. That means if you network with other people, now is the time to be looking out for their welfare. And now is the time to expect that they will look out for yours. We all need every opportunity to get a leg up that we can. More on Why Is Now The Time To Work Together?

People who know my colleague and good friend Joel Eisenberg, respect him immensely. He is not only an award winning screenplay writer, book author, ghost writer and speaker; he is also a down to earth, straight shooter - and a nice guy.
Last year, his company made an investment in a film that is ready to make its debut. All of the ducks are in a row, but the Motion Picture Association of America has put up a roadblock - the kind of roadblock that might sideline some others, but not Joel. Read the press release that he wrote and see how an industry veteran fires back.

To date most of the financial recovery plans for the banking system, like the Troubled Asset Recovery Program (TARP), have focused on replacing lost capital with Federal equity or subordinated debt. The theory goes something like this, (a) if the banking system fails a depression may be unavoidable, (b) some banks are so large that their failure will have broader repercussions, perhaps failure of the entire financial system, (c) we need banks to start lending to ease the credit crunch, and (d) weak banks can't lend. Based upon this type of theory, Billions of dollars have been injected into major and regional banks.
