Austin American-Statesman tech reporter and blogger Lori Hawkins asked several local entrepreneurs for their predictions for 2009. She didn't ask me, but here's my answer anyway:
Companies that can use the economic crisis to their advantage will annihilate their competitors that can't.
Actually, she didn't ask the group for their predictions so much as "their biggest hope for the new year and their biggest fear". Here are mine:
My greatest hope for 2009 is that we can continue to find ways to use the economic climate to help our business while it hinders that of our competitors. My greatest fear is that things will get so bad I'll have to get a real job.
Here's to a prosperous new year. Now go figure it out!
