But this is not a downhearted situation at all really, for if you look back in history to the great depression of the thirties that was when people who were capable of looking beyond the norm were able to lay the foundations of great businesses of the future. Instead of jumping from office windows they were jumping onto ideas that were small to begin with but had the potential to grow beyond expectations.

As the great J D Rockefeller said at the time, "These are days when many are discouraged. In the 93 years of my life, depressions have come and gone. Prosperity has always returned and will again"; I know you could be sat there reading this and saying to your self 'that is OK for Rockefeller he had a fortune when the depression hit, I don't, I have a mortgage.'

I think that the essential lesson to learn from his words are that in 5 years time some will look back at this time in history and thank god that we were able to pull through and get it behind them.

However in this world there are three types of people and you must decide which type you are. There are those who 'Make' things happen; they are the dreamers who put some action behind their dreams and become the entrepreneurs of tomorrow. There are those who 'Watch' things happen, they are the ones who dream of better things but do nothing about it, just in case, they live in a world of fantasy. Then there are those who simply say 'What Happened', they neither dream nor fantasise, they simply moan, and look for someone else to blame for their situation.

It is up to you and you alone to decide which group you are going to belong to. If you decided that you are not going to sit back and allow things to happen, you want to take action today to make sure that tomorrow is better, and you need to think outside the box.

A few months ago I heard some words that made me go outside of my box and take a long hard look at the direction I was taking in my life, I was fortunate for one of my friends introduced me to a business that was simple to operate and has the potential, just like those businesses that grew out of the great depression of the thirties, to continue to go from strength to strength.

When he first approached me I was very sceptical and cautious as I had to make every dollar count, but he convinced me to try it out for myself. As it was not some MLM or Pyramid scheme I decided to act when I read the detail, it did appear to be very logical and straight forward. All I can say is that I am pleased that I did, now my future is secure no matter what the economy throws in my direction, and my new business takes very little effort on my behalf. At first I had to apply some effort, not a great deal but some to get the wheels turning. Just like your car once the wheels are turning it can go faster and faster with very little extra effort, it is the law of physics.

So I hope that this little testimony of what has happened to this grey haired old surfer will spur you on to take a look at this business for your self. Only you can decide if it is right for you at this time, I hope it is but you must decide. Remember you can only affect your life by taking action at this moment in time. You cannot do anything about what has happened in your life up until now, it cannot be changed can it, you can only plan for the future as it has not arrived yet all you can do is take action at this exact moment, or you can simply sit back and let another opportunity slip by and regret it later, and become a Watcher or a Moaner it really is up to you.
