I don’t personally know anyone who is prospering in this recession. That’s sad but it’s true. I know way too many people who went into business and who are no longer in business. Every business owner that I know who is still in business has cut back hours or laid-off employees. Did I say that I am grateful to still be in business.
We are no different in this regards. I had a business partner – life partner that left this business because there wasn’t enough business to justify two working for Tucson SEO.
What I am asking you today may strike down to the very core of your lives. People everywhere are struggling to get over a hide variety of challenges in this year 2009.(2010 2011???) It has been labeled, and is in fact, the deepest world wide recession since the great depression. I’ve been around since the fifties and I have seen nothing like this.
The late 70’s under Jimmy Carter where very challenging times but that didn’t stop me from opening my first business in the early 1980.’s During this time it was a real struggle in Arizona as the copper mines went on strike. These companies planned on breaking the unions which they did. Suddenly tens of thousands of miners were out of work. These unemployed miners quickly broke into the self employed ranks.
The miners took on one or more of three general labor pools. They would become painters, landscapers, or janitors in large numbers. I had a new business and my janitorial services were being challenged by desperate men trying to feed their families. The miners and the copper producers struggle sometimes became violent.
Even with overwhelming competition I was able to find work. I literally started at one corner on a avenue called Speedway and worked my way east. I introduced my services as Urban Maintenance Systems and I was Mr. Scurry and it worked, if you wanted to work for under minimum wage. But there was enough work to last for several years. But I got tired of low wages and low ball competition and departed self employment.
During this time Jimmy Carter lead the country badly. I voted for him and lived to regret it. Unemployment was rampant and interest rates soared to near 20%. That was then I was dumb and young and I didn’t like working for others so I started that janitorial service. Today, I see things much differently, If I wasn’t already in business I doubt that I would go into business today.
Update 03/09/2011: I am much more optimistic these days as I work towards the launch of a new business venture. That’s after our latest website venture launched last week. Both projects involve video training services. It’s time to make money is mu new mantra.
That’s my view from a few years back.

I do have to disagree because my new business has been doing quite well in the recession. Our family has not had any financial cutbacks, and we seem to be making more money than ever. I don’t think that the recession is affecting everyone from my experience.

Great I am glad to hear the you have prospered… Someone always does in a recession. I am amazed since you are in the coffee business that you are doing well, especially when I see what has occurred at Starbuck’s. I can only speak about what I have observed in Tucson where I live. It is good to know that not everyone has suffered. Thanks so very much for your input.
I own a service business and I have certainly seen a slow down in business.Its mostly due to the credit restrictions , people are having a hard time buying the big ticket items

Admin:Mark, thanks for the input I appreciate it. FYI, you want want to turn of your automatic voice introduction on your site. It hurts your site more than it helps.
The recession has affected us in all in different ways whether losing our jobs or from the lowered interest rates. Although interest rates have fallen which is great for mortgage etcetra it has resulted in the interest rates of our savings accounts also falling. Many people will be shocked to find out that there are banks still offering very good rates. To find the best rates on the internet look around and make use of price comparison sites.
We have definitely seen a slow down in our line of work. Thankfully we have managed to stay busy enough to pay the bills but people are cutting back spending in every aspect and we are feeling it. Here is hoping for a better 2010.
certainly recession period was the worst time of my life . after completing education I was jobless for 1 year . I done nothing in that period . I passed out with good results & still I was jobless . Recession has affected my home , family , relationships & my life .
There is in no doubt that the financial crisis were emboddied by everyone around the world. I sadly don’ t have a business but I can say that the biggest impact was seen by the bigger corps or the multinationals. And on that part I think it has done good on them. They haven’t performed in the most angelic form as they claim to be doing. Money laundering from Enron and the bankruptcy of BCCI shows us that these large corps eventually forget the humble starts they came about from. My advice to smaller businesses is that even though certain entrepreneurs were untouched or barely touched by this impact, be on your guard. Certain areas that dealt with designer wear and clothes, to real estate agencies all have suffered. For the obvious reasons, when people will run out of money, they will require nothing more but food, shelter, water, clothing(to the minimum). Therefore, considering these economic hiccups for those considering to go into business, think twice what you want to invest in.
I am grateful to you for sharing this publish along with us. possess already been in search associated with this post and found the actual publish upon the right time. I value for your hard work.
It is just as bad over here in the U.K. A very well knowm store chain that had been around for years has been the biggest victim of the recession. It was quite a shock.
