Help! What do I do in a Down Economy?

 Times were good!  Sam Smart, a brilliant young man, opened his business several years ago and watched it prosper.  The excitement of success ran throughout his company and he rewarded good workers with good wages.  Yes, times were good.  However, as the housing market began to sag, fuel prices began to soar, and the economy headed south, Sam found himself in a tough situation.  In a short time, sales dropped 35% and Sam began to “tighten the belt.”  A year into the recession, sales were down 65% and Sam’s company was struggling to survive.  Sadly, he had to lay off most of the good workers in whom he had invested time and good wages.

When it comes to safety and risk management, here are three money-saving ideas.  Click here to find those ideas!
