Constructing Profits - Australian Building News - Tag: Building and Construction - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Hi Everyone,

Our new website is now up and running. As you can see, there have been a lot of changes. I have done this to keep you all up to date on what's happening around the world with housing. If we are to survive this recession, we HAVE TO stay up-to-date. What happens globally will now impact our countries because we are a global ecconomy. Now all we have to do is get our politicians to take this more into account. But somehow, I feel that the next 2 years will bring that lesson home to all of us. As I've suggested before, prepare your businesses for lean times.

I don't believe too much will happen in 2008 apart from a 'slow slide' into the doldrums but 2009 after the US elections, and when the new President is sworn into office, it's then I think the bite will come hard and fast.

It is sooo frustrating watching these US primaries and knowing who I would prefer to win but not being able to do anything about it. I can only implore our US readers to make sure they ~ and everyone else they know ~ gets out and votes! Vote for whomever you prefer but please get out there and vote or else you stick the rest of the world with another egotistical and incompetent President. Please realise that YOUR President affects all of us. WE beg you to be a responsibe citizen please and get out there and vote.

Housing figures have slumped around the world so remember that every other building contractor in your area is going to be fighting for the same jobs you are. Look after your existing customer base because they are your survival raft for the coming hard times.

That's it for today folks so go take a look and remember to add your comments to this blog. We would all like to know what you think. Am I wrong? I would really like to be!

Warmly,

Jan
