What DNA do you share with the creators of Microsoft, HP, FedEx and Trader Joe's? They were all fighting through some pretty rough economic times, but they had a dream, and they weren't going to let an economic slowdown stand in their way. They started their business in spite of the financial woes the country was in...and the rest, as they say, is history.
What DNA do you share with the creators of Microsoft, HP, FedEx and Trader Joe's? They were all fighting through some pretty rough economic times, but they had a dream, and they weren't going to let an economic slowdown stand in their way. They started their business in spite of the financial woes the country was in...and the rest, as they say, is history. 1: Web Entrepreneur They used to say "Go West Young Man..." Now it's "Go WEB Young Man..." The internet is the Wild West for entrepreneurs, and you don't have to be a computer geek to succeed there. Designing a website yourself is easier than ever, or you can get a web designer or marketing company to help you. 2: Computer Repair Company However, if you are skilled with computers, then you already have a recession-proof job skill. If the poeple you know look to you for help when their computers start acting up, maybe you should consider starting your own computer repair business. 3: Health Care Items It's not just you. Everyone is getting older. In fact, the median age of our whole population is climbing. Here's the cold hard facts - when age goes up, health declines. The people who make up our rapidly aging population will continue to make buying healthcare products and services a top priority. Because the economy may not be healthy, but they want to be. 4: Selling Cosmetics There's a strong market for cosmetics in any economy, because cosmetics do more than help us look good, they help us feel better. 5: Job Search Firm/Career Coach When the economy is tough, people lose their jobs. When people lose their jobs they turn to Job Search Firms and Career Coaches. If you are good with people and are a good networker, this booming business might be a perfect choice for you. Then you can make a great career out of helping other people with theirs. 6: Mediator People will always have disputes they need settled. In tough economic times they are more likely to turn to a mediator - a less expensive alternative to an attorney. Are you a talented negotiator? Then you should look into the growth field of mediation. 7: Debt Collection It's tough but true - when times like these put the squeeze on folks... some can't pay their bills. This may not sound like a cheery career, but it has real growth potential in an economic downturn. Here's something that might make it easier to live with: many times you can choose to work from home as an independent contractor.
