As someone who is launching a project right now I'm focusing on making things run as smoothly as possible and controlling the flow of traffic into the project. If I'm too positive on the growth side and don't control it, I could easily exceed budget and not have cash accessible... I suppose control will have to be the key word until the market rebounds.

A business must focus first on producing value to society, and only then on its credit raising prospects. Without that focus, many companies lose sight of the reason they got into business in the first place. They had an idea, and then let it get diluted by other voices - VC's who have an exit strategy and ideas of their own, and bankers who focus on financials instead of how well the business is doing in its chosen niche. Maybe the cash crunch is a blessing in disguise -- it makes us get back to basics. This is great advice.

Economic tides will rise and fall, but if your product is of superior quality, you'll rise to the top when the competition is stiffer. At least, that's what I'm hoping.

We've done so from day one with our new media company, and don't want VC because (a) we don't want someone else telling us how to do things; and (b) we don't owe anyone anything, aside from our small credit card debt. In fact, we will be in the black and completely cash flow positive in about a month. The beginning is harder this way, but it is much easier to sustain financial and/or market shocks. Fast easy money always comes with a lot of strings. I’ve always been of the mindset that bootstrapping is the way to go.

Being a displaced real estate agent from the Boston housing market decline I don't feel the signs are at all close to a bubble bursting. Now selling advertising for SLNN - you wouldn't believe the diversity of interest we're getting from companies to advertise with us. Yes I agree there is an influx of activity in the New Media commercialism, but that happens with anything new and trendy. There may soon be a slight correction to weed out the men from the boys from the quality service angle. But this is merely natural selection. The age of radio, tv, and print media is coming to an end - New Media isn't a bubble but more evolution. Compared to the assets still being poured into those past traditional methods we are very far from the bloat the housing and stock market hit. Just my two cents. ~Carlie Chris I hate to say but I terribly disagree.
