Small Business and Home Based Business Owners, the Time is Now to Build for Your Future!!

We have all read the headlines as of late.

The New York Times –“ Dow Plunges 680 Points as Recession Is Declared”

ON CNN – “CITIGROUP TO LAYOFF MORE THAN 50,000...”

Canada.com –“Bankruptcy or bailout? What's really ahead for Big Three?”

There is much fear out in the world as the global economy seems to be faltering. The recession that started months ago is definitely beginning to show in all areas, the auto industry, mortgage companies etc. I was listening to an economist on the radio the other day and he stated that some states are in such a deep recession, that they are actually in a depression but nobody wants to say that word as there is enough fear portrayed in society already as uncertainty arises every day in the economy.

Now, however is not the time for that same fear to grip us as entrepreneurs. We have so much to share and so much to offer to these people that it would be unjust for us not to offer an opportunity to those who may need it, and the knowledge to those who aspire to greatness. More people now then in the last few years are looking at ways to make a second income. It could be to retain their lifestyle or it could be the need to pay the mortgage and buy groceries. Whatever the reason, people are looking for options.

The same economist also stated that 11.5% of the people that have lost their jobs have also lost the hope of finding a new one and have adversely lost the motivation to seek employment. They are left to live on what little the government has left to offer them. Entrepreneurs are the people that can help to turn their life around!! We can provide hope for their future.

For those companies that are not in deep debt now this will be great entrepreneurial times. It is the small businesses, the home based businesses that will survive these hard times and get this economy moving forward once again.

Fellow entrepreneurs! Now is not the time for us to stand down. This is not the time for us to think negative thoughts that will add focus toward the suffering economy. We need to stay strong, dig deep within ourselves and get ready to push forward with our business in a way that only entrepreneurs can.

We are the hope, let’s go deliver!!
