The Great Depression in the 1930’s saw the end of many fortunes and the birth of many newer ones. It was a pause in the economic affairs of the world and many compare the similarities of the Great Depression to the current situation.

With the Roaring 20’s and the 2000’s, the economy was very viable. Many were making money and people jumped on the bandwagon to do what every one else was doing in order to catch some of that good fortune for their own. The seeming good times minimized fears and worries. There was not such an urgency to think differently.

The current situation gave everyone pause. The old way of making money was not viable anymore so there was an abrupt change in the economic climate. Clearly, different ways to make money are called for. With unemployment at the highest it’s been in about 30 years, getting a higher paying job is not necessarily the easy ticket it once was.

Perhaps taking a closer look at a home based business could be appropriate for you now. At least you would know that you wouldn’t lay yourself off.

Recession is the word I keep seeing over and over in the news. Business is contracting and laying off thousands of workers. Gas prices are cutting into to everyone’s budget. The unemployment rate has hit 5.7% ( I remember times when 5.7% unemployment was considered a good level.)

What is happening in the economy in nothing compared to what is happening in your personal economy. Even in the midst of the Great Depression, fortunes were made. In the booming economy, many bankruptcies are declared.

No matter which way the wind is blowing, sailing ships can go in all directions.

My economy is under my control. I determine what I receive. I am reminded of an old saying, “Dogs prefer meat, they get bones because they don’t get to choose.”

Working even part time on your side business can produce great dividends from income coming in as well as tax savings.

Set your sails to go where you want to go.
