What do you have in common with the founders of FedEx, Microsoft, Trader Joe’s and HP? They were all struggling through tough economic times, but they had a vision, and they weren’t going to let an economic downturn stand in their way. They started their business in spite of the financial crunch the country was in…and the rest, as they say, is history.

1: Web Entrepreneur They used to say “Go West Young Man…” Now it’s “Go WEB Young Man…” The internet is the Wild West for entrepreneurs, and you don’t have to be a computer geek to succeed there. Designing a website yourself is easier than ever, or you can get a web designer or marketing company to help you.

2: Computer Repair Company However, if you are skilled with computers, then you already have a recession-proof job skill. If the poeple you know look to you for help when their computers start acting up, maybe you should consider starting your own computer repair business.

3: Health Care Products Do you feel older? It’s not just you - the average age of our whole population is rising. And when age goes up, health declines. Our rapidly aging population will keep on buying healthcare products and services. They’ll make it a priority, whether the economy is tight or not.

4: Selling Cosmetics There’s a strong market for cosmetics in any economy, because cosmetics do more than help us look good, they help us feel better.

5: Employment Search Firm/Career Coach When the economy gets tough (like it is now), people lose their jobs. When people lose their jobs they seek out Employment Search Firms and Career Coaches. Are you good with people? Do you have a strong professional network? This growing business might be the ideal choice for you. Then you can make a great career out of helping other people with theirs.

6: Mediator People will always have disputes they need settled. In tough economic times they are more likely to turn to a mediator - a less expensive alternative to an attorney. Are you a talented negotiator? Then you should look into the growth field of mediation.

7: Debt Collection It’s a harsh reality - times like these put the squeeze on people, and some can’t pay their bills. This may not sound like a fun career to you, but it has real growth potential in an economic downturn. As a lifestyle plus, you often have the choice to work out of your home as an independent contractor.
