How can this be if the economy is in the dumper?

I was the lead sales director for the show. Im not trying to brag
here, but I personally rebuilt the entire process, which resulted in
the huge success of this years show. Thinking outside the box, and
breaking down old paridigms was all that was needed. I was offered a 6
figure bonus for my hard work, but turned it down. I was already paid
for the job I did.
