A Different Sort of Deep Freeze
January 2010 has brought a deep freeze to many portions of the U.S., but even these frigid temperatures don’t come close to the chilling effect of the “deep freeze” that settled across the business community this time last year and immobilized both purchasing activity and growth plans.
Looking at our business’s top line this January compared with 12 months ago, it appears that current year revenue will be approximately three times what it was in January 2009. This January, cold air may have put the fruits of Florida orange growers’ labor at risk, but a milder business climate has enabled our labor, and I suspect that of many other firms, to begin yielding impressive harvests.
As we turn up the heat in our homes as a response to the current cold snap, perhaps we also turn up the heat to fully take advantage of this year’s “January thaw” in business climate.

What I notice is that my business colleagues want to connect on a much more personal basis. Perhaps the economic climate has made everyone feel more vulnerable in some way and many seem anxious for "touchpoints" that are meaningful.
