The other day a friend of mine called and asked for some advice.
He had been laid off from his manufacturing job of the past 13 years.
This was a really tough break.
The good news is he'd have some time to collect unemployment insurance.
That was the good news.
The bad news is that he really needed to either find a new job in a hurry or figure out a way to start making some money.
My recommendation was that he find a new job.
He agreed.
It's the same advice I'd be giving to you, if you and I were having this conversation.
Definitely work on finding a new job.
But in the meantime, start an eBook publishing business.
I'm going to be really honest and potentially hurt your feelings when I say this, but I think you're crazy if you don't at least make an honest effort to start your own business at some point in your life.
Now is a particularly good time to start one.
Why now? Aren't we in the middle of a recession? There's something you need to realize about life.
It goes on.
This recession will come and go, and there will be more recessions in the future.
When I started my eBook publishing company, I was deep in debt, had a job I hated, and quite honestly the economy wasn't doing so well.
But once I figured out what to do, and how to do it, making money with eBooks turned out to be incredibly easy.
Can you really make money during a recession by starting an eBook publishing company? Without a doubt, yes.
