Why Is The Best Time To Start A Business During A Recession?
TOUGH TIMES ARE THE BEST TIMES FOR BUSINESS STARTUPS Does anyone seriously think about starting up a business when we have had catastrophes, bank failures, a tremendous stock market crash, a federal debt spiraling out of control, and the biggest government bailout in the history of the modern world? People might think I have lost my marbles when I say that now is the best time to start a small business, but let me tell you why...
The biggest advantage that you have in starting up your dream business is low competition.
During tough times, the majority of people are focused on the negative things being reported on the news.
Most people would think of at least 100 reasons why this is the worst time to start a business.
But the smart aspiring entrepreneur understands that some of the biggest success stories in business have had their foundations laid during a recession or economic downturn.
While everyone is focusing on the financial and economic crisis that abounds, people are quietly still spending money each and every day on things that they cannot live without.
If you really stop and think about it, the areas where people are still spending money go well beyond basic essentials like food, gas, and housing expenditures.
There are niche markets hiding right in front of our faces that have seemingly endless amounts of money flowing within them on a daily basis.
For example, did you know that the "dog training" niche is one of the hottest markets in the small business arena? The people who have launched businesses catering to pet lovers are not experiencing the economic crunch that others are struggling through.
There are niche markets just like this that have over enthusiastic people waiting to put money in your hands.
If you tap into a niche market, especially something that you are passionate about, you could have the potential of making a serious profit in serving the needs and desires of people within your locality.
All it takes is spending the time and research to uncover the hidden areas that people are willing to spend money on.
Believe me, they exist, and all you have to do is open your mind to the possibilities and they will come.
I am passionate about helping others to tap into the potential of small business ownership as I see it as the key to financial freedom during these trying times.
While jobs remain scarce, I truly believe that the success of the economic recovery will hinge on the rate of small business start ups within localities throughout the country.
