1) Much less competition due to the fact that people are just plain old scared to get out of their comfort zones and actually start or grow a business.
2) When the economy falters, even badly, it opens up other opportunities that are not there during a boom time. More importantly fewer people can recognize a great trend or opportunity during the slow times.

where are some real opportunites?
1) Debt reduction and elimination is on people's minds due to now realizing what too much debt can do to their financial futures
2) Credit repair and counseling for obvious reasons
3) Small and home based business opportunities becasue people jobs are not secure any longer and traditional busienss has many pitfalls and risks that these new century business do not have
4) Wholesale Real Estate. You don't get rich buying in a boom, you get rich buying in a recession and getting positive cash flow to hold the investments until the recovery happens and creates huge equities when values turn around.

The choice is always ours to make.
