Anita Campbell hosted a great post titled Economic Dark Clouds and Your Business, by Tim Berry of Planning, Startups, Stories and Up and Running.
Seriously, the economic news is clustering now. As I write this, Today’s NYTimes has “4-Year Growth in Jobs Ends” and “Dow Drops 200″ combined into one story. That headline will change as the DOW changes, I assume, but these days it seems it’s likely to go down. We also have Rate of Home Foreclosures Hits Record and even what seems like good news — retail sales up — is just a silver lining.
Economic news should not scare you because as Tim says “…it’s what you do with your business that moves it up and down, not what happens in the headlines…”
Crowdsourced Opinions
I assembled a live mind map of the 12 opinions and comments from the great small business minds who have commented so far on Tim’s post this far. It is pretty enlightening, I read every comment so you don’t have to (unless you want) and linked to the comment authors too.

Wow, Greg, thanks for this. obviously I’ve been following those comments — it’s my post and I did add two comments — but this makes it much more accessible.

That was a great post Tim.
There is something about being able to see it all on one page, in a summarized form with links to the people who commented on your post.
I really liked the comment by Laurel Delaney regarding the Market Busting article via Harvard Business Online.
This is a very very interesting presentation, Greg. I love it. Thanks for pointing out Mind Meister. I’ll have to try it myself.
