Your Company and Survivorman - What's the Connection?

The beginning of a new month - and a new article on Incentive Magazine's web site.  That's right our newest contribution is now up.  Called "Basic Survival Skills for the Incentive Industry" we draw a connection between the survival skills necessary to survive in the wild to what your company needs to do to survive in a failing economy. 

The article doesn't discriminate - the content can be applied to any business - not just incentive companies.

And to prepare you - this month we will have two - that's right two - articles on the site.  This first one is on survival - the next is on thrival (?) - my made up word - but the article is about how to thrive in this economy.  As usual, I will let you know when that posts.  Hope you enjoy!

And a teaser...

"Skill No.1: Preparation. I can hear you now: "Great, preparation—a bit late for that!" True, but the most important survival skill is preparation. The sad fact in basic survival is that those who are mentally and physically prepared to survive are more likely to do so. It is, however, probably one skill that we don't practice much. If you remember the 1981-82, the 1990-91 and the 2001 "recessions," then you should be in great shape because you prepared. But I'm guessing you didn't remember or prepare. We all think things will be good forever and, for some reason, don’t learn from history. Therefore, as far as survival skills go, we're already starting in the hole."
