It may well be a tough time but this is when real entrepreneurs can shine.

By managaing their businesses and keeping costs to a minimum, it’s still very possible to be profitable.

With the economic crisis in full swing, more and more people are getting into the small business arena, many times due to the loss of their corporate job(s). I have also heard a lot of talk between my friends and family about buying locally and from small businesses. I think it is a trend that will continue. Twice in the last week, I have heard friends tell me about hand made items they have bought on etsy.com, a site where handmade items are sold. This is the time to get in the arena if you ever wanted to make/sell your stuff OR just become a small business owner.

This is really good advice. I’ve recently started promoting my writing as if it were a small-business, and I’ve done surprisingly well, despite the economic downturn.

Hi Dawud,
I found myself grateful to you the other day. I’ve enjoyed reading your blog and soaked in some good advice to give small businesses the other day. At the last minute I was asked to represent the construction division of Caltrans (we build the roads and bridges in California) at a Small Business Fair. Our goal was to recruit Small Businesses to do business with the State of California. Our governor has mandated that 25% of all purchases made by the State be made with Small Businesses. After showing them how to register and get certified, we talked about their websites, getting listed in DMOZ and Yahoo Local etc, putting their website address on their business cards and on their trucks, and then how to give something away for free to meet people. For a lot of the construction companies I suggested they make a safety topic presentation at the big contractor’s sites to get to know them and hopefully be invited to be subcontractors. I picked up a lot from the teleseminar I took with you recently, it really helped me be useful to small businesses in California!
Thanks!

In addition to a finely defined niche market, a finely defined marketing plan is in order. When I give myself a daily list of 10 things to do to promote my business, it saves me from indecision and distraction. I want to know what path I am heading on, and what destination I am shooting for. Some of the things from my stockbroker days – 300 dials per day, and ask for the order. Close 7 times. Send information several times prior to presenting a sales opportunity. Build a relationship, not a sale. A sale buys once. A relationship buys again and again.

companies are a bit scared to bloat up their staff, but if you have the skills they need many are seriously considering hiring consultants or work for hire I have been extremely lucky to have found work with two companies doing what I love – social media. Best part – they want me to stay home and work. Cheaper for them and seriously cheaper for me.

It’s like my mother was telling me. If you’ve got your shit in the market and you’re not touching it, you won’t have a problem. It’s the retirees that were counting on the market RIGHT NOW that are getting their asses kicked. I don’t need the money I have invested, so I’ll just sit and wait and eventually it has to turn in my favor.

that is quite comforting to hear… since i am a little bit ‘paranoid’ about the current financial crisis…

Undoubtedly, there will be many people that profit from the current crisis. These “outside-the-box thinkers will succeed because they refuse to give in to the hopelessness that is so prevalent during an economic crisis.

Finding the proverbial “silver lining” in an otherwise gloomy situation takes a different mindset.

It’s honestly going to take other’s coming together and being helpful to one another. If you ask me…. Credit Cards are the culprits to the brainwashing thought that you can’t survive in America unless you have credit. Well what about those who choose not to have credit or as I say owe money to the “mob” where’s our kudos for being frugal and not spending outside our indiv. means.

The current economic conditions may have negatively affected most inductries. however at the same time new opportunities are created. Businesses in poor economic conditions are looking for new ways to do business and cut costs. As such there is a demand for new innovative services that can achieve this. Web design and online marleting companies for example seem to be doing well.
