Youre not the common weblog writer, man. You definitely have got some thing potent to increase the internet. Your own style is really robust that one could almost make do with being a bad author, but you are actually awesome with indicating what you have to state. Keep in the good work guy!

“An economic downturn provides that nudge (or push, or even kick) you’ve been waiting for to strike out on your own.”

Thats whats happening!

The economy is bad if you’re bad. Just because things aren’t easy doesn’t mean that there is no opportunity.

I like the positve nature of your post. Many people have to get tuff and start their own buisness because of layoffs, cutbacks, etc, etc. they are taking matters into their own hands. In a recession smaller companies have an advantage in the ability to cut costs and adjust to the market faster. It also hard to get fired from your own company if you are the boss.

But yes Recession is where the big money is made, those that can survive will be the ones that will win big in the next few years as the markets come back.
I look forward to more from you in the future.

The best way to find growth capital is to apply to a venture summit where you can speed pitch your ideas to several investors face-to-face in a single day. One such example is The Speed Venture Summit, the premier speed-dating-style event for fast-growth businesses and investors in New England. http://www.speedventuresummit.org; and follow the virtual discussion at Twitter #SVSNE

As someone starting a business of my own in the current economic climate, I found this an excellent article.

Starting a business now is a challenge - but who wants it easy? Easy is lazy, easy takes no passion to perform, easy doesn’t live in your dreams or dominate your waking thoughts - and where’s the sense of fulfillment?

Ok so easy pays well, but it sets you up for a fall when times get tough, and lean mean business machines outperform easy every step of the way.

Give me the challenges today, and the rewards tomorrow. I’ve put together a business with a minimal cost structure and maximum productivity through web apps and information systems, ready to take on the world. Would I have examined everything in as much detail and considered every action as many times if times were easy? I can’t say, but that’s why fat cats need to get scared!

Thanks for your article Betsy. After 5 years of dedication to a multinational company, I was laid off in January…so recession or not, it was time for me to start my own company.

I had been preparing for several months on the side anyway, but the opportunity presented itself in a very real way.

So even though the website and infrastructure are still a work-in-progress (won’t they always be?), I am working on sourcing leads. Hopefully I will get my first customer soon to build the confidence I need to ramp up.

Bootstrapping and working smart have been my priorities!

A young women writes a great column and uses Kobe Bryant (Betsy, do you REMEMBER what he is famous for, beside B-Ball?)as a positive point?
