Never mind all the economic doom n' gloom. Here's a seven-step plan for success. (Some of the steps seemed to overlap, IMHO, but that's okay. It's still shorter than a 12-step program.)
Further, even though this article was written for nonprofits, the message of "spend in order to save in the long run" applies to any business or organization trying to survive tough financial times. Note it advocates using interns on stipends to supplement staff and the notion that better pay for staff results in lower turnover, better operations, etc. You could argue that it makes even more sense to pay freelancers as needed to supplement staff at a lower cost (when you factor in benefits, unemployment insurance, etc.) than you'd pay to hire more people.
And (to get all warm and fuzzy on you) this article urges you to choose happiness (it beats crying all the time).
Finally (on an unrelated note), this cat is scary, but I'm sure some editors out there can relate.
