It is absolutely an opportunity. Emerging markets will expand next year while industrialized countries like the U.S. will contract; this will create a need for less abject consumerism in the U.S., and level the playing field. The best investment opportunities are with companies like <a href="http://sharemybiz.com">ShareMyBiz</a> that provide a platform for emerging markets to earn in the new global village of cyberspace.<br />

THE FLAT WORLD, WHATEVER CAN BE DONE WILL BE DONE - THE QUESTION IS WILL IT HAPPEN TO YOU, OR BY YOU! DON'T WAIT - THIS IS THE IRON RULE OF A FLAT WORLD.<br />

In the new market it's the consumer/Individual with the power, not so much the corporations; Thomas Friedman in the "World is Flat" states correctly that we're now in phase 3 of GLobalization. Phase 1 was from the 1400's to 1800 and was the globalization of countries (Spain, England, the Dutch); phase 2 was 1800 to 2000 with a globalization of corporations into multi-nationals who are beyond regulation of a singular nation-state jurisdiction, now we are in phase 3 - the globalization of the individual. This will be good for the world as a whole, not so good for those in industrial nations who now must contend with a level playing field, a world that is FLAT in terms of individual capacity to compete. To survive and thrive in this changeover, look for companies that can access the emerging markets, and become a creator of products that are exportable to the emerging markets over cell-phones or computers such as music, books, video, consulting, and like what ShareMyBiz empowers - Marketing! (I've attached a summary of them for those interested in seeing the plan), and here's a introductory video - don't miss out on understanding the revolution of Globalization 3.0, you have the opportunity to profit by it. As the video above stated, you're either going to be left behind, and ride the crest to even greater prosperity.<br />

I have to agree crisis is an extraordinary opportunity for change and growth on both a personal level and a group level. I have noticed that it is in times where people are faced with losing everything that all of a sudden everything come together exactly as it should. I think it's because when at "the bottom" the healthy mentality is there is nowhere to go but up. and the logical question that follows is what can I do to go up? how can I change and better myself to start the climb.

I have to agree crisis is an extraordinary opportunity for change and growth on both a personal level and a group level. I have noticed that it is in times where people are faced with losing everything that all of a sudden everything come together exactly as it should. I think it's because when at "the bottom" the healthy mentality is there is nowhere to go but up. and the logical question that follows is what can I do to go up? how can I change and better myself to start the climb. I also think a secondary offshoot of that is being okay with losing something and/or everything. When you are able to let go and ready to make a positive forward motion good things happen. Sadly in times of crisis some people turn towards fear and desperation, and not only do good things not happen but bad things happen. If people can only learn to let go of the fear and accept that life will happen as it's meant to be I think the consciousness of the universe would start to change into a truly beautiful thing.<br />

As for an Economic crisis.... I know of numerous people who are ready to start trying their hands at gardening as opposed to running out and buying, who are thinking of ways to conserve as much as they can from energy, to water use, etc. Good things can happen but do people have the strength to continue once the crisis is over that's the real question.

...........and there-in lies the crux of all problems, this one included. The only answer that I can find workable in my life is to continue educating myself so my example is ever improving. On AOAND I have found several examples from which I can and do learn, so here-in is one step, of many, toward solution, a wonderful interactive step.<br />

Thanks for posting this---I think that there really is a "new reality" out there, or the beginnings of it. More and more people are having to do with less and less. Jobs, at least where I am, are becoming fewer and fewer and the wages being offered are at least 25% of what was offered maybe a little less than a year ago.<br />
<br />
I believe if people can get past the fear that this brings to them, there is so much in these experiences that can bring about wonderful change. I've seen more and more people…

<br />
I believe if people can get past the fear that this brings to them, there is so much in these experiences that can bring about wonderful change. I've seen more and more people who almost by mistake (the mistake being unemployed) are discovering that this is bringing about an opportunity to try their hands at doing things they love to do, or really WANT to do..<br />
<br />
I truly believe that if more people were actually doing what they had wanted to do when they grew up, we would see happier people.
