4 Tips to Be Empowered in "This Economy"

I started my day today exercising and watching TV as I lifted weights.  Good Morning America was on and as they shifted from their light, cheerful, often inspiring and fun segments, they switched to the news.  The broadcaster got only 9 words into his report before I changed channels.

On the screen was a graphic with 2 words in large type;  ECONOMIC CRISIS.  I put my hand on the remote the minute I saw this and listened as he said,"There is more evidence today of the economic crisis."  Click!   My decision to turn away from this report is one of 4 tips on how to be empowered in "this economy."
