Today is my last day for a few months being based in the CustomWare Sydney office. We have a fun team and it is a bit sad to leave working with them each day.

For those that don't know, we're doubling up our efforts in our US office and I'm moving with my wife and kids for a few months.

Many people have asked the question "Why do this in the middle of a recession?" the answer is really simple for us. We currently have over 100 customers in the US that we currently work for remotely, and countless others that would like to deal with us locally. In economic times like this, you have to listen to your customers and the demands that they have and move your company in the best way to meet those needs.

I went to a talk by Brian Tracy a few weeks ago, where he had a gem of a quote:

"Sure, there is a recession on - but we chose not to participate"

...and I can only wholeheartedly agree!
