There are many different business, products, or services out there, and the recession affects each one differently.  

I have a pet sitting business and studies have consistently shown that people will not stop spending money on their pets, but they will spend it in different ways.

With people cutting back, last month was a hard month.  People are not taking as many trips as they were.  However the holidays are coming and we are getting booked again.

It has motivated me to expand the services that we offer...

trying to turn a problem into opportunity : )
