The Time is Now!
The bad news: the economy is down, the stock markets are down, housing markets are down, and unemployment is up.
The good news: There’s not a better time to start your own business!
That’s right, with the economy slumping and people losing jobs left and right, there’s not a better time to start your own business and jumpstart your own income potential. Any good entrepreneur will tell you it’s easy to make money and become “rich” in a good economy, but it’s even easier to build wealth in a down economy.
What’s the difference between being “rich” and being “wealthy”? To paraphrase Robert T. Kiyosaki, rich is measured is money while wealth is measured in time. Huh? Ok, to put it simpler. Being rich just means you have or make a lot of money – probably from working and earning a lot. Which means when you stop working you stop earning and then only have the money you’ve already earned. Your wealth is measured in the amount of time you can continue living at your current level without having to earn any more money through your own labor. So if your passive income is greater than your expenses you are financially free and “infinitely” wealthy.
So back to the original point. Now that the economy is in a downturn, you have the opportunity to start something from scratch and start building it up. You’ll go through your toughest times in the down economy, but the leasons you learn can be invaluable to building your wealth now and when the economy turns back up.
Take the initiative. Start your own business. Grow your business. Be the entrepreneur you’ve always wanted to be.
