I agree, I know I am extremely busy in New Jersey and New York!

Some times I think the media are the true terrorists of the world, which is why I do not read newspapers or watch TV.
I don't think I have ever seen a newspaper that promotes any thing positive.

At any rate the only way to survive in this business now (my opinion) is to stay positive and to promote your services like crazy and get more clients.
That is what I did last year and it worked.
