In the annals of business, one of the most critical events of our time is the economic downturn of 2008. Many people, however, do not recognize the sheer importance of the event, the dilemma, and the process of the economic downturn of 2008. One particular reason people don’t recognize the paradigm shift is because the goal line for business and personal finance has moved forward. In other words, businesses and individuals are still playing on a 100 yard field when the field has been repositioned for 150 yards.

By estimation, The Organizational Manager’s Digest suggests that upwards of 93 percent of all businesses and 99.9 percent of all individuals globally are steeped in the unchanged rules of business, the old status quo. This stagnation abounds for the status quo because the classic conditioning which runs rampant throughout all society. We must remember that our decisions reproduce our choices in real-time, which suggest we must guard against unsound decisions.

Indeed, a catalog of indiscriminate choices leaves Americans with blinders on while the Chinese economy is on the rise. Is it something the Chinese knows which Americans don’t? We predict, no. Moreover, the problems are compounded because many people don’t appreciate the indispensable power of technology and the internet. Business models have slowly, but aggressively, shifted towards a lightweight and sleek workforce, which requires diversity, multitasking, and a global insight into business.

The Organizational Manager’s Digest prognosticates that with the nomination and appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court of the United States, the landscape is changing and the tide is turning. African-Americans waiting on 40 acres and a mule, the wait is over and the time is now. Singularly, the economic downturn of 2008 made it possible for all people to exceed, partially because the crisis mushroomed globally, which means everyone was impacted by the crisis. Above all, President Obama was elected on a platform of change, which signaled businesses and individuals must to change too.

Indeed, change doesn’t proliferate easily, but it’s necessary. With the economic downturn of 2008, businesses and individuals must repositions themselves rapidly and stop focusing on the hurdles, the ineffectual propositions, and the maladies of old. Businesses and individuals must separate from the entourage of naysayers, put aside the profligate ventures, and press forward towards change. In moving the goal line forward, practically, it suggests businesses and individuals must work a little harder, but also realize the goal is doable. In the final analysis, this may sound provocative, but keep pressing, because those endure will reap the rewards.

Yours sincerely,
