Financial Security? Start A Business!

by Stefan Töpfer on Oct 06, 2008


Now that it has dawned to the last of us, that the bankers misused our trust to line their own pockets and the politicians where their usual self and did not notice, even so many “spoil-sports” told us for years that things where going wrong big time, it is time to find a way out of this mess.

I would suggest to you that you, me and many others like us are the solution to this crisis. SMEs make up for over 50% of GDP in our countries, for over 60% of all innovations and this market sector is still expanding as we speak.

It is high time that we stop listening to these overpaid, egotistical and usually arrogant bankers and politicians because they are at least as fallible as we all are.

Let’s face it, job security is and has been a myth for a long time. Starting a business - full or part time - is the only option to regain some control of you financial future. While the stock markets crash and more and more redundancies are being announced, you may want to think about you own business.

Just remember don’t borrow any money to start up - bootstrap. — ST.

    I totally agree! As far as a so-called recession goes (one of Canada’s top-banks has already predicted it for next year) the only way out is to stay afloat. How? Run your own business, call your own shots and work as hard as you want to - not as hard as your cash strapped. wage-cutting boss says!
    I’m planning on helping as many businesses as I can stay on top, with increased marketing plans and better looking materials.
    When the going gets tough, the tough keep marketing!

    I have heard recently that more people are looking to start their own small business. This is because they do not have the faith in the company they work for or have been made redundant.

    Planning is an important part of starting a small business, finding your market, cash forecasts and

    I think owning your own business, no matter what you decide to do, is the solution to just about every problem I ever had (or realize I had without knowing it at the time) with being an employee.

    Absolutely right - I read somewhere that owning your own business is the ultimate job security because you can’t sack yourself or make yourself redundant. If your business is OK then so is your job!

    You’re absolutely right, Stefan

    Those who run their own small business soon realize they have a powerful weapon against the up and down of the economy

    In addition, a lucrative small business gives people the time and freedom to live life the way they really want
