{"product_id":"2940014010856","title":"Recession Survival","description":"There‟s no doubt about it: The economic recession that‟s raging across the United States courtesy of an absurd number of layoffs, massive quantities of homeowners defaulting on their mortgages, an inflation rate that far overpowers current adjustments to incomes and the resulting decrease in consumer spending has hit everyone hard. As Americans struggle to pay their bills and put enough away to ensure their retirement, companies from coast to coast are taking a major hit in profits. Somehow purchasing a new Ferrari just doesn‟t look as appealing when you consider the impact that expense is going to have on your retirement account. The bad news is that this trend doesn‟t show any immediate signs of coming to an end, particularly as gas prices continue to soar. The good news is that an economic recession is not always a bad thing! In fact, if you are a savvy investor and business owner an economic recession can actually help you. Why? Because there are certain things that happen during a recession that, if used correctly, can help you ensure your security and the security of your family for many years to come. It seems as though every time you turn on the news there‟s another story about a plant that‟s closing, another company that‟s outsourcing their labor and laying off their employees and a rapidly growing line of people standing in the unemployment office. What they don‟t tell you about is the hundreds of people behind the scenes who are benefitting from this economic recession. Why should they? Good news doesn‟t make good news! I firmly believe if we‟re going to have our lives and our futures tossed like a boat in a storm courtesy of an economic recession, every man, woman and child has the right to know how to secure that future through the opportunities that are staring them right in the face. That‟s what this book is going to do! As individuals we can‟t change a single thing that‟s going on “out there”. What we can do is change the way we look at it and learn to seek out the hidden jewels of opportunity that make economic recessions a gold mine for the savvy investor. Let‟s get started, shall we?\u003cbr\u003e4\u003cbr\u003ePart 1: Why You Shouldn’t Worry About Economic Recessions\u003cbr\u003eIf there‟s one thing that can be said to symbolize today‟s society, it is the expectation of instant gratification. We want what we want, and we want it now. We have cars that drive over two hundred miles per hour, jets that break the sound barrier and rockets that go into outer space. We are constantly expanding our horizons, stretching our capabilities beyond the bounds of human comprehension, and pushing into unknown territory with each breath we take. It‟s never occurred to us that we‟re not intended to do most of the things we do in the name of progress. If you had asked our ancestors two hundred years ago if we would ever go into space, they would have told you that if God had intended for us to fly he‟d have given us wings. Yet here we are. We‟ve accomplished the impossible, and rather than being satisfied with that we push ourselves harder to accomplish the impossible faster and more spectacularly than ever before. Fast food, microwaves, mail order videos and payday loans have encouraged us to think as far ahead as the next forty eight hours when it comes to our goals and expectations. We‟re lured, tempted and taunted by promises of overnight riches on the Internet with almost no work at all, and we‟ve long since lost our appreciation for the toil and frustration of hard labor in favor of replaced those outdated methods of getting things done with updated technology that can accomplish the same thing in half the amount of time. We live in a now society, which is why economic recessions are so difficult for us to accept. If we have a limited amount of capital coming and going, and a limited amount of growth happening in industries all across the world, we can‟t accomplish our goals in a short amount of time. We might even have to set those goals aside in favor of meeting our short term needs, such as keeping food on the table, or the long term, like building our retirement savings. Without booming enterprise we can‟t live the American dream and start our own business, because we need to provide our family with the security that the daily grind provides-and with millions of people across the country getting laid off every day, we‟re just happy to have a job. What many people fail to understand is that economic recession is simply a normal part of the regular cycle of the business world. Although some recessions are more dramatic than others, the bottom line is that economic recessions happen regularly. If we didn‟t have economic recessions from time to time to the business world would be in trouble.
