Smaller Crowds Hold Hidden Potential: Exhibiting During Economic Downturns
Economic cycles have very real and immediate consequences on the tradeshow environment. When times are good and there's lots of money floating around, tradeshows can become lavish events, with teeming crowds treated to extravagant displays and over-the-top exhibiting. On the other hand, when the economic indicators aren't so good, the tradeshow starts to look a little bleak. Exhibitors scale back and the crowds get smaller. This trend holds true among all industries; some are hit harder than others, but most see a significant decline in attendance numbers during economic downturns.

How to Stay in the Game for the Long Haul by Working in Success Cycles
My mentor taught me that by working in success cycles, you will stay in the game for the long haul. Just like nature works in seasons, there are also success cycles. There is a time to learn, a time to produce, a time to harvest and reap the rewards, and a time to rest. Most people live busy lives and try to squeeze in as many activities in the day as possible. We start the day working on one project, and then we get side tracked to do something else. A few hours later, we jump back into the same project we started with, but somehow lose the momentum and rhythm to do it. We try to multitask as much as possible. I’m not saying that we should stop multi-tasking, but sometimes we need to step back and perhaps focus on one thing at a time. We should learn how to work in success cycles.
