Issue #8: Draw from the Power of see/bolt

{see} Digital Magazine - Issue #8

Published: November 4,2009

In Issue #8 of {see} Digital Magazine we look at the three R's of recession, recovery and reality. Frequent {see} contributor and collections expert Michelle Dunn explores getting paid during tough times with her Recession Collections article and match game.

Meanwhile, {see}'s Road to Recovery looks at key industries and helps you map out your route to bouncing back from the economic downturn. Plus we give you some rules of thumb for hiring in the post-recession (and post-massive layoffs) days to come.

And Rhett & Link, the comic geniuses MicroBilt hired to make "so bad they're good" commercials for small businesses around the country, show us how keeping it real isn't just funny, it's good for business.

Plus, continuing our look back over 30 years of MicroBilt, in this issue we take a look back at self-employment over the years and reveal some provocative stats on happiness and work. And, of course, there are pearls of wisdom from {see}bolt scattered throughout this issue. So get your mission started now.
