"In misfortune there is opportunity." I heard this is a Chinese saying. Whether this is a Chinese saying or not, I know that it can be true. Consider:
If two cars collide the misfortune is upon the owners of the two cars. Their insurance payments will increase, and they may be without their cars for several days. They may have to spend money on renting vehicles while their cars are being repaired. Where is the opportunity? The repair shop gets work--mechanics and auto body shop. When a loved one dies it causes pain, but the funeral director is able to make a profit by providing a service. Misfortune can be profitable depending on how you look at it. What is the purpose of all this? It illustrates that people can use today's bad economy--misfortune-- to profit. How? It all depends on how you look at things.
Yes, many have lost their jobs. Yes, many cannot find traditional work. So where is the opportunity? The opportunity lies in changing our view.
When someone looses his job the first thing he thinks about is being hired by a large stable corporation that has benefits for its employees. However, big stable companies are known to be ruthless. They would fire someone who has a lot of years with the company simply to hire a new person and pay them less to do the same job, thus saving money. There is no company loyalty to the employee.
As a result of the current economy and many job losses many are looking in a different direction. They are not looking to large stable corporations, nor anyone else. They are looking at working for themselves--starting their own home businesses--and some of them have found gold doing that. How so?
Usually when people begin to look at work at home businesses they see offers of making $10,000 or more a month. There is always a story of how someone did it. The truth is that this may not apply to you at the start. There are people who do this in just a few months, but usually this is only a fraction, less than one per cent. Where is the gold?
The gold lies in the fact that those who look in the direction of working for themselves and do it consistently, within reason, normally would experience success beyond what they had ever imagined. If formerly they made $60,000 per year, in a few years they find themselves making double that amount with the potential for much more. The key is in finding the right kind of business and seeing its potential. If we can see the potential, then we are motivated to keep going. For example, GP was making about $1,500 per month in his home business. The loss of his full-time job made him channel more effort into his home business and within eight years he was making $60,000 per month.
To benefit, or experience success even in a bad economy we need to work for ourselves in an industry that is in demand. I have found two businesses that pay me small checks every month right now. In two years I expect these checks to increase exponentially. You see, I look for businesses that grow, and will keep growing.
Now permit me to leave you with two stories:
No. 1 TR began his business with little money. In four years he had generated over $10,000,000.00.
No. 2 CH went from $40,000.00 per year to $40,000.00 per month.
No. 3 GP (mentioned before) was earning $1,500.00 per month. Now after 8 years he earns $60,000.00 per month.
The point here is not how much they earn. It is the consistency in doing their business.
When a rocket takes off the beginning is slow. However, it builds up momentum. All cars, from standing still start of slow and then gather speed.
Any business is going to start slow and then build. Do not forget this important fact. Usually people quit just before the success kicks in. If ever you are going to start a home business remember these important facts, otherwise you may find yourself trying to catch the wind.
If you would like to know more about the businesses that I found with the potential to pay large monthly sums of money in the future, please send me an email at: [mailto:
