I'm particularly thinking about things like building an online presence/brand and whether you will do anything for that. Anyway, just a thought since you brought it up on your blog. I recently went to this meeting http://www.meetup.com/DenverConsultantsCorner/calendar/9627654/ which was interesting for self-employed consultants.

Various industries will continue to be disrupted by insurgents with completely new business models (remember Skype and the telco industry?). At the same time large established companies will use the crisis to make tough decisions and prepare the field for new business models. It's always easier to implement new ideas during a crisis because less questions are asked and there is less resistance because people don't want to keep their jobs. Initially there will be little risk-taking though, because it's difficult to foresee how the global economic crisis will evolve... 2009 will be they year of business model innovation.

I hope 2009 is a year that people take their future into their own hands...even more so based on the turmoil we've seen when you rely on others - just look at the many retirement accounts that have been turned upside down. @Chris Desouza

Thanks for the comment. I hope 2009 is a year that people take their future into their own hands…even more so based on the turmoil we’ve seen when you rely on others – just look at the many retirement accounts that have been turned upside down.

Everyone, (whether they realize it or not) are self employed. I remember, my sister said these words to me years ago. I thought she was weird. Great post. You are dead on.

Good one, video is already taking on a bigger and bigger role. Now with increased bandwidth availability the throughput isn’t such a big deal.

Arif's recent tweet linking to the Ford social marketing guru's recent "aha" moment underscores this coming shift in thinking. (Great video of a car parallel parking itself!) 2009 will definitely be the year twitter takes off. Looking forward to your upcoming twitter showcase. 2009 will be the year web video begins to replace text heavy web pages and inefficient intra-company communications/meetings.
