Straight line. Today we are all concerned about economic growth so that we can move forward and see improvements in incomes and employment. The challenge is that far too many see growth as a straight line always moving upwards. History proves that not to be true as we move from one economic cycle to another — some not so bad, while others, like the recent past, far worse.

In order to move forward and into a growth cycle we require financial capital, a growing population, and for our community to be uniquely focused on being very productive, positive and engaged in the solutions. These are times when certain philosophical differences need to be put aside so that our energies are all directed towards a better tomorrow.

Let’s start today to focus on the creative solutions and the steps we can each take to make as many of these solutions work as we can. Together!
