Right now might be the best time to start a small business.

And, if the economy gets worse, it might be an even better time to start a successful business.
Check out this post from Seth Godin’s blog:
“Inc. magazine reports that a huge percentage of companies in this year’s Inc. 500 were founded within months of 9/11.: Talk about uncertain times. But uncertain times, frozen liquidity, political change and poor astrological forecasts (not to mention chicken entrails) all lead to less competition, more available talent and a do-or-die attitude that causes real change to happen…….If I wasn’t already running my own business, today is the day I’d start one.”
Ultra successful Information Marketing Guru, Dan Kennedy would agree. He started an information marketing business at a time when the economy was poor and charged more than anyone thought anyone would pay. Incidently, it was also a time when no one else dared start a business like his which automatically made him top dog. And, he ended up with a very successful businesss.
When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. If you are in the mortgage industry right now, and can find a way to survive while everyone else jumps ship, it makes sense that you will be the one to not just survive, but thrive. You will be forced to do things a bit differently. You will be forced to find the next great idea. You will be forced to become a better at marketing your business. You will become strong and come out on top, the proud owner of a very successful business.
