Let's face it, we weren't all born rich. The majority of people in this world have to work for a living. But what happens when the jobs aren't available anymore?

We still have to pay our mortgage and take care of our family. So what do you do when there aren't any available jobs? How about start your own business. Easier said than done, right! But you have to realize that now is the time to actually start your own business and you might end up finding that you are much happier than ever before.

This is the time that a lot of people are looking for a solution to their problems. So what you do is find a problem, solve it and then charge people. Okay, I'm making it sound a lot easier than it probably is, but it can't be any riskier than continuing to search for that job that doesn't exist.

You don't have to waste a lot of time coming up with a perfect idea. My favorite saying is, "you don't have to get it right you just have to get it going." This is the perfect time to start a new business because of the internet. Small companies are now replacing bigger ones because this is about building relationships and we trust people more than companies.

You don't have to have the mentality that you have to make millions. Just look at this as an opportunity to make modest profits that will sustain your lifestyle. Just think about the books for "Dummies" series. Do your research on the internet, find the problems people want solutions for, write something in your area of expertise and start promoting your product. You can end up helping so many people.

The best thing about an online business is you don't have the overhead, the cost of office space, the drive time to and from work or all the essentials an offline business would present.

Here is just a suggestion... Start a business doing what you love as you are solving problems others are willing to pay money for. It doesn't take near the investment as a franchise and you will find that you are having a wonderful and enjoyable time helping others.

Good luck to you all!
