If we can expand our practices during a down economy when others are falling out we will be better positioned when it turns around. Hunkering down is the normal reaction when you have the lion's share of the business and everyone is taking a piece of it. But if you go back to thinking like a start-up or small business looking for market share with limited capital, your mindset about expansion opportunities changes.

I'm an infusionsoft user, and of course will be down in LA this weekend to see Michael Gerber and Rich Schefren, and what I always tell my clients is that they should focus on connecting with the list and leads they already have instead of automatically heading to advertising. Also, focusing on more guerilla tactics like Social Media Marketing is always good as well... See you this weekend, Matt @MattArndt Hey Tyler,
