You've just gotta have faith...famous words from a brilliant singer.

And all too true in business as well.

This month's podcast, A Funny Thing Called Business, episode was all about 'When Profits are down what do you do?'

Not a subject business owners talk about, and rarely in an open forum like a podcast.

, , and lshared the good, the bad and the downright ugly!

But FAITH is such an important feeling to keep hold of when times are tough.
