When Passion Meets Recession
By Michelle LaBrosse, PMP®
Founder & Chief Cheetah, Cheetah Learning
Think of the recession for just a moment as a person, let’s say Mr. Recession, and that person is someone who has been visiting your house for too long, and you want Mr. Recession to leave and go back to where he came from. In a typical household, how might we get Mr. Recession to leave? We might ask the kids to turn up the volume on the things they love to do that drive us crazy. Crank the Metallica up extra loud for ultimate vibration. Practice Guitar Band while Mr. Recession is listening to more doom and gloom on the news. If you don’t have kids, but you live with your sweet heart – ignore the fact that Mr. Recession is even in the house and get busy being passionate with whatever you love to do. You get the picture. Basically, unleash your passion and do what you love – who cares about what the lingering lout Mr. Recession is up to?
Whether you can get Mr. Recession to leave tomorrow, or if he decides to stick around for a while longer, just get on with your life. Use whatever it is you’re passionate about to propel you forward, and if your passion is Project Management, this is a tool that can actually help you capitalize on volatile times. Yes, you can actually capitalize on the recession with Project Management.
