Many of the businesses here in the Adirondacks saw a significant decline in customers and staff during the last week: Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer as families go home and kids go back to school. The business owners hope now for a great Indian summer and fall color season, and then wait out another lull until the winter attracts snowmobilers. They plan for these changes as best they can but the up and down volumes are always a challenge: they just have to adapt to the business cycles that are waiting for them: they work hard, and take what time off they can find between the busy and slow times. Most businesses experience swings in business levels – they are the times to get things done that have been put off, study new trends, plan for changes, and re-commit to colleagues and customers. Don’t let down when business slows down: that’s when professionals show their true talents. Be flexible and smart in how you deal with life’s changes today.
Edward Morgan Forster (1879 – 1970): English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist: many of his novels examined class difference and hypocrisy.
