Don’t worry about the past…Change the future!
It is not a surprise to anyone that we are going through an economic slowdown. I am pretty sure that everyone got that memo. Instead of looking to blame some government entity for our day to day struggles why don’t we change the future?
One thing that we know especially well in the auto industry is this: ‘What worked in the past will not necessarily work in the future.’ So what then can we do? Any person or small company able to think outside the box will quickly adapt and find solution to change the future. One example that comes to mind now is Hyundai. They are now offering virtually no risk financing. If you lose your job they make your payments for 3 months. If in the first year you are not able to make payments anymore for one reason or another, they will take the car back. This is one example of a company that was able to capitalize on a bad economy. People wanted security when buying a car and Hyundai delivered.
For those that are willing to look you will see companies changing and evolving. Those that refuse to change will find themselves out of business. We are part of a country and a world that is hungry for innovative ideas that make our lives simpler
and easier. Don’t believe me? Business people everywhere use to carry around a day planner and a phone. Then we evolved, people started carrying around a palm pilot and a phone. Now what are we doing? Exactly we are carrying around smart phones, and they are changing the way the world communicates. This is why companies such as Apple, Blackberry, and HTC are leading the communication race.
The wise old robot Bigweld in the Disney movie Robots said this: “See a need, Fill a need”. I would encourage all to take this advice. It is within all of us to change our situation, not some government entity.
