Recession Proof Businesses

In my last post I gave out the idea that if you have just lost your job , why not take a shoot at being your own boss and starting up something of your own.

Now for those of you who have taken a liking to the idea, you must be wondering..Hmmmm..Ok where to start? Well first of all you must make sure that you choose a business field or category. Now that will most probably be the hardest part. So I thought I would help you out here.

Why not choose a business that is recession proof? YES, there are such businesses that are not seriously affected by recession. They are the businesses that deal with the basic necessities in our daily life. Here are a few example to get you started:

1. Child Care: Recession or no recession, children will always be here. Since more and more parents are working, they will need a place to leave their precious children to be cared for while they are earning. So why not set up good, clean , child day care centers.
2. Education: This is another field where you can do something. How about opening a school, or starting a school van service, or tuition center, uniform and book supply depot, etc
3. After school Activity Center: The children have gone to school, come back, and did their homework…now what? Children have so much energy and need a positive outlet. One can start a hobby center to teach children various interesting things while keeping them occupied for the parents as well. They can be taught arts and crafts like on MAD on the Pogo Channel. Or they can be engaged in science projects, sports, baking, swimming, karate, hiking, etc. The options are endless. Even a few moms can get together and arrange birthday parties for children like at KFC and McDonald’s. It doesn’t have to be on a big scale, and the extra income will be great!
4. Food: You can start a home delivery service for lunch for offices, or snacks or even a catering service. It all depends on you and your imagination.
5. Hair Salons: Hair salons and beauty parlors will always be “in”. No one cuts back the budget spent on getting a haircut!

The options are endless and the ideas innumerable . It all depends on your motivation and devotion. For me, my power of speech was my strong point and I used it to train others and help common people start up small busniess so that they can begin to earn and progress. So get up , get motivated and do something. It will be worth the effort!
