Is it Them, or Is it Us?

In this rapidly changing economy, everyone is looking for a simple fix to dealing with the uncertainty of our economic environment. It seems like few are happy with their situations.  And all but a few point their fingers at the changing economy and vibrant competitive environment as the source of their dismay.

The real secret to improving our conditions is to work on "us."
