Not Just Numbers: Giving thanks in a recession

Hi, I'm Glen Feechan. Welcome to my blog - Not Just Numbers.

I am from Sunderland in the North-East of England and Chief Executive of Feechan Consulting Group where we do many things, including developing both simple and complex spreadsheets, and saving our clients money. Take a look at my LinkedIn profile, if you want to know more about me.

Through this blog I aim to provide useful and/or entertaining content for those responsible for the financial side of their businesses. Although aimed loosely at finance directors, I have many subscribers from managing directors at one end to anyone who ever opened a spreadsheet. I aim to stay away from the hardcore accounting stuff - there are plenty of places to get that if that's what you are after, but finance is Not Just Numbers.

You can also sign up (over to your left) and get a free report and regular updates of new posts to the blog. Also have a look at the freebies section of the blog for free training videos, etc.

I hope you find the content useful and that every now and again it makes you smile.

Regards

Glen Feechan

Giving thanks in a recession

It's Thanksgiving today for our friends across the Atlantic and this made me think how little we take the time to be thankful.

It's easy to lose perspective if business is difficult, you are not sure if your job is safe and maybe the added financial pressure of Christmas approaching is causing genuine stress and worry, but we all have things to be thankful for.

Whether it be good friends, family or even just the fact that we are not starving and we have a roof over our heads, many around the world could show us why we should be grateful.

I for one am truly grateful for my amazing wife and children.

What have you to be thankful for?
