It’s a well known fact that I have unbounded admiration for Seth Godin, what you probably don’t know is that I have spent the last few weeks and months becoming increasingly vitriolic in my tirades against the Numpties who preach doom, gloom and despondency in the various media – I am becoming the woman who shouts at the TV…  it gets embarrassing after a while.

The reason I shout at the TV, in particular the BBC Breakfast TV programme’s Business Reports is that they see everything from it’s absolute worst possible perspective, they give huge credence and publicity to negative news and skate past anything good with a muttered aside.  Then they return, with huge gusto, to full throated baying of doom laden forecasts.  OK, I accept that things are not good, you would have to be blind to say that they are.  But it is not all bad, there are ways forward and there are ways out.  What you have to do is take action, not just cry into your Beer.

A brief video interview with Seth Godin was published on Mashable yesterday, it should be required watching for everyone in business, especially for those of us who have a bit of courage rather than being of the ‘cry into your Beer’ variety.    In case you missed it, it’s here.  I suggest that you also take a trip to his blog and look at some of the recent posts – expecially you guys at the BBC, perhaps then you can do something positive towards moving us forward rather than just digging a deeper hole for everyone to fall into.
