Is It A Good Time To Start A Home Based Business?
A couple of things got me thinking today, both centered around the idea to start a home based business.
First of all I was in the gym early this morning ( not my normal Tuesday routine but I was easing my conscience after an enjoyable weekend ), and I saw an ad on the TV.
It said there are two types of people in life, those who just think of starting a business, and those who actually do start one. Now, the ad was for a major bank, and it was selling business start-up loans.
I re-worded it slightly in my mind, to those who just think about starting a home based business, and those who actually do start one. I wonder how many thousands of people every day think of getting their own home business going, but never take it any further.
Of course, with a home based business you can get started with very little overhead, and certainly without the need to approach your friendly bank manager for a loan.
The second thing that happened to me was that I went to fill my car with fuel this evening, and found a large line of cars waiting to be served. I got talking to one of the attendents, and joked was the oil running out.
He told me that the government here in Ireland was adding $0.45 extra duty per gallon of diesel and gasoline from midnight tonight, and adding a levy of between 1% and 2% on all income for everyone in the country.
Why? To pay for the very generous bail-out of our friends in the banking sector, the same people who were advertising for my business in the gym this morning.
Now, you may be thinking, I don’t live in Ireland, why would I care? That would never happen in the US or elsewhere.
Well, with the election on at the moment, you can bet your bottom dollar that no politician will even suggest such a measure. But come the New Year, whoever wins is going to have to face up to the cost of sorting out the financial quagmire that has become obvious over the last few months. And who will bear the burden? Yes you’ve got it, the ordinary guys and girls in your town.
So now more than ever it makes sense to start your own home business to help tide you over the uncertain economic times that seem inevitable. Having a second source of income really does give you security and piece of mind. Once the economy picks up again, as it will, you will be in a much stronger position to take advantage of opportunities that will arise in the future.
My own personal favourite way to get started in a business from home is with a business online.

Don’t leave it until the economy forces you to make cut-backs in your lifestyle, but build your income cushion to maintain and improve your financial situation over the next twelve months. You deserve it!

This was a topic of discussion the other day in the PPG that these might be the best of times to recruit for Internet Marketing. If people start losing jobs, where are they going to turn? The only question I had in the back of my mind is if we have a deep recession, then why wouldn’t people be selling even their computers and giving up the internet as a way to save. I hope people are not relaxing with the price of gas going down (in our are $2.48/gal) because I think things are about to change again.
Thanks for the post Alan

I believe anytime is a good time to start home business. It doesn’t have any restrictions at all!
Yea I too believe there is no better time now to start your very own business. Someone once said that you can’t get rich working for someone else. So that ought to set you thinking.
