Kick them when they are down

Welcome to the wonderful world of business competition:

Dear Vladimir,

If you are concerned by published reports about DHL’s reduced capabilities, choose FedEx for all of your shipments, especially during the holidays.

Big s**t poppin and lil s**t stoppin…

Now I know some look at these developments and look for cover.. this is my third major global financial crisis and every time it comes around the mainstream media coverage is equivalent to the Jesus freaks quoting nonsense from the Book of Revelation, Nostradamus guys break out the quatrains and the hobo in front of Chris’s office change their cardboard signs.

In each instance the largest and the best clobber up their competitors, squeeze them and their accounts out and emerge on top.

So panic, compromise your values and offerings, batten down the hatches, cut spending and staff, hide from the storm and pray for the best. World needs pigs too and it’s slaughtering time.

Are you holding a knife or your own a**?

(Yes, it was an exceptionally motivational Monday morning squawk box call @ OWN. As of 24th we’ve crushed all previous revenue/growth numbers and are putting another month up on the wall.)
