Ignorance is Bliss...or Fake it til You Make it

As I was looking for information on past recessions, I was struck by how regular they seem to be. A couple of them I was in the work force (versus school). Looking back on them, I can't say that I remember them much. It could be bad memory but I think it has more to do with awareness and media. The "Dot-Bomb" left an after taste but we kept on being profitable.

The collective psychology seems to buying into the current recession. I think that's a mistake. I think we put our heads down, talk to customers, fix problems and get the jobs done. Ignorance is bliss as they say. If you can't ignore it then fake it. An old boss of mine used to answer the question...How's business? with a resounding FANTASTIC! A faker all the way to the bank!
