Based off of my experiance in a personal recession... going from 116,000 in debt to paying off 70,000+ and making 250,000 in 2 and a half years....
With economic times not where we want them to be today, the bottom line is how do you survive? Do you suddenly have to tighten your budget and deal with increased stress? Is it possible that you could get laid off tomorrow, if so then what? Can you truly plan a family vacation for the summer not knowing what will happen next? People always ask are we really in a recession? It is my profound belief that if you are not better off right now then you where last year, that you are in an economic recession.
So the question remains, if things are slowing down in the economy what should you do next? In my experience I ve learned there are only 3 viable ways to truly ensure that you can beat out the economy. First, have 100 s of thousands of dollars stashed away to basically buy your time through the slow periods. How much do you need? That depends how long your recession last most of us can not predict that at all. Of course you are not getting ahead either and with each passing day, if you don t have a game plan you are slowly falling behind.
That leaves 2 real solutions, they both involve investment and a serious commitment but will allow you to grow and prosperous even in a down or slow economy. The first is real estate investment for those that are positioned with plenty of liquid capital. The slower the economy the more liquid capital you will need. During a thriving economy you have a tangible asset in real estate that will climb in value. When the economy is slow people can t afford to buy homes and the rental market will increase. So your income based on rental value will actually increase that way as well. That s an increase no matter what. Over time real estate is arguably one the best investments you can make for financial prosperity.
OK, so what if you don t have tons of liquid capital. The bottom line is during a slow economic period whether it is what you are going through personally or a global issue, tough decisions have to be made. Fortunately there is another solution if you are determined. It will still require some investment, just not 100,000 dollars. It has actually been a process and an industry that has created more millionaires then any other in business history according to Dani Johnson s training and Decide Freedom International s business overview.
That industry is the home based business industry and, here is why a home business works so well no matter the state of the economy. Normally you have a retail product and as long as the economy is soaring you will be marking more and more of your products via retail. During a soaring economy people feel better about spending money because they feel that they have more of it. If the economy takes a nose dive, people are looking a way to make money and most home businesses provide a way people can make money as well. It s a win win situation for any business owner, to be able to find a need and meet it regardless of what is happening in the economy.
Not to mention the fact that you don t have to have all the business idea s to be successful with a home business. Plug into a business with solid training and a proven track record in an industry you feel good about I like the travel industry who doesn t like to travel when they have plenty of money?
A home business will not only allow you to survive during a slow economy but you will be able to thrive, invest in real estate, pay off debt, be your own boss, spend more time with your family, travel the world, and you have the ability to make a 6 figure income.
