How is your business level?

I'm hearing a lot of bad things.

A few guys are busy. Tell us the good news if you are one of them.

Compounding seems down this month.

Tom,

Sorry, I can't give you a good news story - business here in the UK is absolutely terrible. My tunover this year is down by about 50%.

That said, there is plenty of work - many companies with huge problems, but no money to pay for a consultant and I can't afford to work for nothing. Some people are so short sighted that they can't see that solving some of these problems would mean a significant increase in their profitability.
