This is my first time on this blog, but I will definitely be coming back! I do think that Brown was treated in a less than kind way by the media as well, though, which made a bad situation worse. The way you link it to SMEs is spot on. It’s often easier for a small business to let its natural personality shine through.

Thanks for your definitions, passion for your work is a great asset to any business success.

This is definitely not the time to buy a new desk. I would also add that a business owner needs to bootstrap as much as possible right now, and to avoid any large purchases that are not bringing money in the door. The longer you can avoid having the bank tell you how to run your business, the longer you can be nimble during tough times.
