Paralysis

I know business people that are caught, like rabbits in a headlight, right now.

It is something to do with the sheer speed of the downturn. Business-as-Usual just isn’t for many. And if we have staff, stock, and premises then cash flow, depending on the business, is almost certainly a challenge.

Meanwhile savings invested in pension schemes and endowment policies are being decimated. And if you didn’t read the very small print, financial institutions can impose draconian penalties at will. Very few of us read the small print when we signed. And if we did we didn’t believe the actions would be invoked.

The paralysis can be in our heads. Our bodies can move but the outputs from our thinking are just fixed somehow. Ideas and thoughts occur but they are not joined up; they are like the bits in a minestrone soup that someone keeps stirring. Nothing seems to break the loop.

It’s other people that can break the loop: people that are honest, open and trustworthy.

It’s nice if you like them as well.
