Chad Heinrich (no relation) the Arizona state director of NFIB (National Federation of Independent Business), said today in a public relations release from National NFIB that the chances of a recession are iffy nationally.

As we sit in our little paradise down here in Arizona, we seem to be doing better than the average NFIB state.

None of our Solutions Forum clients has laid off anyone but they have replaced some subpar performers.

The personnel shuffling can’t have been too bad, because no one has said anything about being hauled in front of the state Labor Commission.

And we have been vocal in advising our members on how to counterract the recession by outmanueversing the competiton. It’s a strategy that’s time proven, although sometimes it takes a strong stomach to go against the grain. You might not get invited to the Chamber bash, but then you might be speaking at it. Oddly enough, or maybe not, no one has asked us to speak at their Christmas bash, but that’s ok.

So, it’s still head down for the balance of this year!
