By Rob Nance, Publisher - Our internal mantra at AccountingWEB regarding the gloomy economy is that we are "choosing not to participate." Our business is growing thanks to you, the readers and advertisers who faithfully turn to us for your respective needs.

We are all in vibrant, exciting industries. Tell your clients not to participate in this bad economy. It’s certainly a time to be prudent, but it’s also a time to elevate levels of creativity, innovation and to take a few risks. This storm will eventually pass. I invite all of you to say "I am choosing not to participate in this bad economy!" Breathe in the opportunities that surround us all and blaze new trails!

Frankly, despite what the general media shoves down our throats, this is a pretty darned exciting time to be in the business world.
