Recession: Control Your Destiny!

We know that we are in a "recession."  But, really, does it affect me or my family?  How can I change this if it affects me?  How can I make out in a recession?  How can I fall apart or aviod that?  Just a few questions...


My thoughts...


We have no control over the market and the bail out. This will affect mostly the people who made a poor decision to buy a home that wasn't right for them in the first place. We will help them, when they should learn from their error. Secondly, this will affect the people who have a lot of money tied up in all this stuff. That's why they are all concerned to get the market back, so their stocks will be ok!

What we need to do is be in control of our own destiny, not let a company have us and all that we have (time). We need to constantly improve, educate, use proven home business models and so on. 72% of the US pop has considered a home biz, because of the control factor...

How can we benefit from the "recession"?  Great time to invest in low stocks or mutual funds.  Great time to buy a foreclosure and rent it, especially if it's a multifamily dwelling.


How can we fall apart?  By worrying so much that we lose ties with our families, by letting other people's problems consume us, by trusting that our job will be their next year and never keeping an eye out...


We are stong, smart, and resourceful. Worry only drags us down, plus what's the worst that can happen?  Remember what is most important to you.
