Over at the Inc.com web site two articles caught my eye that seem to offer a problem and an alternative.
The problem: gas prices are going up and up and up, which is starting to pinch small businesses.
An alternative: new software makes virtual meetings over the Internet easy for small business people.
Although Inc.com didn’t link these two stories, I thought it showed the power of the market to offer creative solutions for those willing to look hard enough. We learned that price controls don’t work back in the Nixon era (I’m showing my age…). Gas prices are causing short-term pain, but let markets work and amazing things might develop! Maybe the market can begin to offer some alternative fuels sources and technological innovations. Who knows–maybe this crisis can lead us to a new and exciting era in our economic history. Every successful entrepreneur knows that out of chaos and change come opportunity.
