The Benefits of the New Economy

The Benefits of The New Economy


A lot of us are struggling financially. As the old way of doing things implodes many of us have been forced to find new ways to make a buck.


When I first started to transition from my "day job" to working on WorldLightASP full time and helping yoga teachers and studios get their website up and running... well, lets just say it was a shaky transition.


But here is the thing. So many of us were really unhappy with the old way of long hours in thankless environment enriching others.


Since I've had to "tighten the belt" as it were and recover and re-learn from the end of my cubicle days I've had some really amazing, eye opening, humbling and inspiring experiences.


The first thing was that I was forced to reach out to friends and family for help (which I'm really bad at) to get WorldLightASP going. I figured, helping people who are making positive causes to promote their business with $99 websites was a good idea and a good cause in and of itself. Slowly, that is proving to be both true and worth while.


Since the end of cubicle days I've

begun eating better. Turns out that fresh produce is cheaper and better for you than the veggie burger junk food that I've been living on for years now.


I spent more time with friends.


and (perhaps most importantly) I do A LOT more yoga.


This morning, as I was walking the two miles from my house to the Lotus Seed School of Yoga where I teach, I remarked on these thoughts. How much more I was walking, how much more I was outside rather than inside now, how much more quality time I was spending with friends and family and most profound, how much happier I was.


In a surprisingly inspiring video blog from Bob Parsons owner of GoDaddy he really illustrates the benefits not of the recession but of the new economy. I found that I really resonated with his message: "Now is the time!"


Now is the time to take a chance

Now is the time to try your dream job

Now is the time to try that idea you been sitting on for years

Because of the new economy you have greater access to resources because EVERYONE is charging less




I am really excited about WorldLightASP because it makes creating a website for your dream accessible to the masses. $99 for a website that you can update yourself, without having to wait on a programmer or a designer is really powerful. Many of my clients don't understand how powerful it is until new clients begin showing up.




I get really excited watching new business grow in this new economy.


Let's succeed together!
