I've noticed, while many companies and individuals might be struggling right now, that there is also a group of companies and individuals flourishing. I've also noticed there are some common characteristics found in these companies and individuals who seem to be doing well during some of these uncertain times. Hereare five characteristics that stand out:

1. These companies and individuals operate from a win/win philosophy and inherently value their business relationships. When you understand and appreciate this principle it allows you to create and receive value both on a short and long-term basis, as well as recognize and be in line for new opportunities that begin to present themselves.

2. These companies and individuals have an entrepreneurial mindset. Although it's true that when a boom is going on the entrepreneur is often leading the way, I've also noticed that when the water is high, everything tends to even out. But when it all starts to go south, it is then that entrepreneurs can rise more quickly and distinguish themselves. Their ability to take risks, be decisive, recognize and seize opportunity and to basically "create," allows them to find a way to make things happen.
