We didn’t see this one coming

In times of recession, when money is tight, business is getting tougher and you’re getting stuck for solutions, who do you call? (No, we’re not talking about a certain popular film of the 80s.) Russell Grant Astrology, of course!

Yes, apparently over the past few months “more and more business owners have been calling up to get advice during this tough climate”, according to Russell Grant’s psychic team. So that’s the end of management consultancies and business advisers as we know it.

Intrigued at the business reasoning behind this ‘phenomenon’, we find that using psychics and mediums for business use is not unusual.

Many worried self-employed men and women have been calling me during the past few weeks,” one psychic commented. “I was very pleased to be able to guide a number of people into opening their minds to other avenues within their businesses to limit the losses they have been facing over the past few months.”

So time to ditch the finance director and call in the astrologer to turn your business around. Why didn’t we
all think of this before?
