Hey guys, long time since I’ve been around! Hope everything is going good.
Okay, so here is the deal
I have been busy with school, preparing for the ACT test, and getting ready for college. I have not been able to create a few websites that I set goals to do over the summer. I'm kind of disappointed, but I just have to move on. This current economy is crazy. My stocks are down. Before I invested in these companies I really though it would take a disaster for them to lose such value! So, I have been trying to think of small businesses one could start that are recession proof. I want to think of businesses that people NEED, not one they can live without.
A few I have though about:
1) A mechanic/EMISSIONS shop. Government regulations require cars to get regular emissions done; I doubt that this law will be removed any time soon.
2) Health Care office. People need doctors, dentists, etc. Why not find a doctor and help invest in opening a practice and have him be the “brains�
3) Online businesses. They take little to no start-up costs, are able to offer lower priced items than local stores (usually ha ha), and do not require the shopper to leave their home and spend precious gas...
4) Payday loans. Let's face it, people get desperate for money. With the ridiculous interest rates people are willing to pay, is this not a good idea?
5) Debt Management. The American way of spending is causing many people to rethink their current situations. I predict, many people will NEED this service shortly, and will be willing to do almost anything for help out of their current situation.
I would LOVE to hear some more ideas!
Thanks,
Woody
