I’ve been in business for 40 years, 31 of them in the power washing business and during that time I’ve seen a lot of different economies and threats in our country.
There was a time back in the 60’s and 70’s, when as school-age kids, we would practice hiding under the desks in the event the Russian’s were to send us a nuclear bomb. If that wasn’t fear-driven and a ridiculous response, I don’t know what is. LOL
False Evidence Appearing Real or FEAR is a powerful emotion and can really turn a bad situation worse very quickly. I’ve seen it many times in the 90’s recession, Y2K, 2008 recession and housing market crash, September 11th and now a virus.
In all of these events FEAR gripped some people and they became paralyzed by it. They made bad decisions, spread rumors, let the media and others determine how they felt or how they acted. Other people looked to HOPE and took a positive attitude and embraced the thought of a brighter better future. They became the cure and champions of HOPE.
