Have you lost your job? Are you struggling to keep the doors open to a small business? Even if this hasn't happened to you--yet--the chances are pretty high that you know somebody in this situation. Our country is in the midst of a major recession. Some experts believe that we're in the early stages of another great depression. What plans do you have for your family's survival if these experts are correct?

First let me ask, do you know the difference between a recession and a depression? To me a recession is when people around me are losing their jobs and homes. A depression is when I lose mine. We depend for the official definition upon government statistics—and the statistics aren't usually reported until long after our crisis is over. (Don't say I told you this, but these reports sometimes even get “adjusted” to favor the current political regime.) Does it really matter what we call our financial situation? I'm either making good money or I'm not. I don't need some trumped-up report to tell me that. I have one friend who often says, “Don't try to impress me with all that nonsense about job titles and bonuses and such, just answer this…what kind of car are you driving today?”

Our current recession (or depression) is terrifying for many. But could it contain a silver lining? An opportunity for a few, lurking somewhere within this huge financial mess? I know absolutely that this is true and I can prove it.

Napoleon Hill wrote in THINK AND GROW RICH, that every adversity contains the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit. And then he added, “…if you look for it.” A treasure chest of gold might be buried in your back yard, but it won't benefit you if you don't search it out. Now, don't go digging up your back yard just yet. Doesn't it make more sense to go where others have already discovered gold? And then dig right next to them?

Internet marketing is the largest financial goldmine available today. It makes an ideal work from home business. “But I don't know anything about Internet marketing,” you cry. At one time, neither did I--but now I'm an expert at it. Read on. If I can do it, so can you. I'll even show you how.

More than 1.5 billion people are connected to the Internet, in over 100 English-speaking countries. The majority search every day for reliable ways to solve their problems—financial and otherwise. Entrepreneurs who offer legitimate solutions at a fair price to these people, are writing their own tickets to financial success. The ones who understand this are making huge amounts of money very fast.

Are you an entrepreneur who is ready to give up the corporate struggle? Or are you tired of trading valuable time for money (called a job?) This current “recession-depression” contains a valuable gift for those smart enough to look for it. You and your family can't always depend upon others for your livelihood. Job security? Do you recall what your employer promised before the recession? Forget about it. Educate yourself today about 1) how to become financially independent, 2) how to work from home, and 3) earn whatever you decide you're worth. The opportunity presented by Internet marketing can be your personal goldmine—IF you look for a reliable way to provide what you and your family need.
