In leaner times it does remind me that having a niche or specialisation up your sleeve can come in very handy. That is specialisation in the client space rather than a technology. Ala 'I/We do red sprockets with a long history of successful red sprocket making'.
Of course it doesn't need to limit you in wider non-niche clients, its a matter of selective marketing. Though there is a tendency to become overly specialised in that space if you don't mix up the clients. Haven't been bitten by the downturn yet, still in long term projects. But once I am through I am counting on my niche to see me through these perhaps leaner times.
