A successful man always plans and thinks of his future in any move…. But….
We all have alternate ways for everything we everything in our life. We have different mode of transport to travel, we have various choices of hotels to eat out, and we plan our day well in advance, so that we don’t miss out on anything. But when it comes to income source we still rely on our single source, our salary.
The world in a fast pace, the economies is becoming more and more volatile. Companies try to survive this either through salary freeze, layoff etc. The common working class is the most impacted.
This highlights the importance of having an alternate source of income.
A secondary source of income can make your life a whole lot easier by increasing the amount of money that you earn and decreasing your dependency on your salary. A solid secondary income can help you retire and enjoy life before you are 60. We have only one life and we spend 90% of it working and saving and the remaining 10% spending on medication and treatment. A secondary source of income will ease your tension and provide you freedom to enjoy every moment in life.
A best alternate source of income should be one which is not dependent on the amount of work you put in, it should be independent of our effort and should yield you returns. There are various options available :
1. Dividend Investing
One of the easiest ways to generate passive income is by investing in high yielding dividend paying stocks.
But this require you  to invest and involves a high amount of risk as per the  current market situation
2. Rental Properties
Initial investment is very high…..

3. Royalties

You can earn royalties for life off of any creative work that you develop. If you are a skilled writer, write a book or a play. This entitles you to receive residual income for years into the future.
Not all people have the sills for this

What is the right way to earn a secondary source of income? This thought has been in my mind for long and I was searching for an opportunity which is risk free has very limited investment, which require me to work hard on it initially (so that I have the satisfaction), which is legal and which yields royalty which is transferable to my future generations. I feel the right opportunity to achieve all this is a business. A business which is doable by everyone, a business that is looks into the needs of common man.

Direct Selling Offers Flexibility and Financial Freedom

Article published in Success magazine

 "May 5, 2008 

If you want to spread your entrepreneurial wings but have little or no business experience, don’t have a product or service to offer or are simply looking for a proven system for success, direct selling might be the ideal opportunity.
For more than 100 years, direct selling companies have offered independent representatives the ability to purchase products at wholesale prices and earn a profit by selling them at retail prices. Most direct selling companies also allow representatives to earn commissions for introducing new sales reps to the business. This business model relies on independent contractors, rather than traditional advertising, to spread the word about a company’s products or services. The word-of-mouth marketing approach works for several reasons: Consumers appreciate the personal service, the convenience of shopping from home, and the comfort of buying from those they know and trust.
Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s Mad Money, is bullish on direct selling, especially during a slowing economy. “Direct selling is a great model…with high gross margins, low capital intensity, lots of free cash flow,” he said on a recent show. “It’s a fragmented industry with gigantic room for growth. The top 15 players only account for about half the market.” Amy M. Robinson, Direct Selling Association Vice President of Communications and Media Relations, points out that, while many people seek additional income during lean economic times, “in all honesty, direct selling is hot because it’s a fun, convenient way to shop that people enjoy. So, poor economic times or not, people fi nd direct selling to be appealing. Great products, personal service and income potential are elements of direct selling that make it a strong economic contender at all times.”
“People motivated to get started in direct selling typically share certain attributes,” she says. “Most seek supplemental income, either short-term or long term. The social aspect also is appealing for those who love to meet new people and many enjoy buying products and services they already use—at a discount.” 
With a direct selling business opportunity you can: Join an industry where business is booming and there’s always room at the top. Direct selling, sometimes referred to as network marketing, is a $32 billion industry in the United States and a $110 billion industry worldwide. The millions of individuals building direct selling businesses determine for themselves when they want to move up the career ladder and exactly how high they want to climb.

What does this opportunity bring you:

Tap into a proven system for success

Start a business for $500 or less.

Experience flexibility and time freedom.

Earn what you’re worth.

Maximize your earnings with residual(or passive) income.

Reap the rewards of helping others succeed.

Get the recognition—and prizes—you deserve.

There are large number of opportunities in the market select the opportunity that best suit you. You opportunity should be worldwide and well established. It should have a dedicated training system. For more information please visit.

How to over come recession - Business?

I would say yes! But not all business will lead you to success. The base ingredients for any business is Capital, Time and Knowledge. The higher the capital higher is the risk. So we wonder how starting a business on our own will help us overcome recession.
A business with least investment, which is in the right field and which has a strong training system will surely help you become a success in the business. A successful business will help you bring a strong source of secondary income.

Recession Proof Jobs

This is an article from Yahoo finance

Why "Recession-Proof" Jobs Are a Myth

usnews
, On Tuesday November 30, 2010, 2:16 pm EST
When President Obama proposed a federal pay freeze recently, there must have been quite a few civil servants who thought, "Whoa! This isn't supposed to happen!"
In private firms, pay freezes have become as common as Post-It notes. But government jobs, you'll recall, are supposed to be "recession-proof" and far less susceptible to the strains of a weak economy. The government has never said that, exactly, but lots of career experts have, and if the compact was never overt it was at least well understood: Government jobs tend to come with lower pay and prestige, but with benefits and job security that make up for it.
No longer. As with so many other things, many of the old assumptions about safe jobs and stable careers have been shattered by the grueling economic transformation we're still in the middle of. Yet the ubiquitous lists of best careers and recession-proof jobs continue to propagate the phony idea that some lines of work are immune to economic stress. Here are some of the careers recommended by outfits like CareerBuilder, Forbes, Time, HR World, and Associated Content, along with the more sobering reality:
Education. Conventional wisdom: Education is indispensable and most teachers get their paychecks from state or local governments, which are less susceptible to recessions than private industry. Plus, most teachers belong to unions, which provide further protection against layoffs and pay cuts.
Reality: State and local governments are facing severe budget pressures and are starting to lay off teachers. Since 2008, for instance, the number of local teaching jobs has fallen by 157,000, according to the Labor Department. Plus, teachers' unions that refuse to accept pay and benefit cuts are increasingly seen as out of step with the rest of America, prompting a backlash in some areas that could lead to school consolidations and other recession-like moves.
Military. Conventional wisdom: We're still fighting two wars, terrorism is ever-present, and Congress always supports the military.
Reality: The huge federal debt has to be cut somehow, and the military is one of the biggest targets. One prominent proposal calls for freezing military pay, cutting benefits, and outsourcing many military jobs to contractors. As for Congress, it tends to support big weapons programs more than spending on troops. Plus, the Iraq deployment is winding down and a drawdown in Afghanistan is scheduled to begin next summer.
Public safety. Conventional wisdom: Police, firefighter, and federal law enforcement jobs will be the last to be cut.
Reality: Maybe so, but governments have now reached that point. Police and fire departments are now subject to the same pressures as other local government agencies, and cuts in the federal workforce seem inevitable as well, with every agency likely to give up something. Overall, state and local governments have cut 260,000 jobs this year alone, with more cuts likely in 2011 and 2012.
Utilities. Conventional wisdom: Everybody needs to keep the lights on and heat the house, plus most utilities are regulated, which keeps prices stable and helps smooth out ups and downs.
Reality: It's true that everybody needs energy, but Americans have cut back on virtually everything, including gas, electric, and water. Labor Department data shows a net loss of about 4,000 jobs in this industry since 2008, with steeper cuts in traditional power plants and minor gains at nuclear facilities.
Energy. Conventional wisdom: Energy is obviously a staple, so demand will stay strong in any economy, providing job security.
Reality: Energy is a volatile commodity subject to steep price swings. Energy demand has held up reasonably well over the last few years, with a net job increase in industries like oil and gas extraction. But anybody from Texas or Oklahoma can tell you that an energy bust can be brutal. And "green energy" remains a wild card that could flourish, taking jobs away from fossil-fuel industries, or peter out, leaving a bunch of shuttered startups where people were once hoping to find stable, high-paying jobs.
Accounting. Conventional wisdom: "Death and taxes are a sure thing," according to one job-advice site, which reasons that tough times ought to force companies and individuals to scour their finances more closely than usual, making more work for accountants.
Reality: There's a glut of unemployed accountants and bookkeepers right now, thanks to severe corporate cutbacks and weak revenue at small businesses. There are about 86,000 fewer accounting jobs now than there were three years ago.
Computers. Conventional wisdom: Companies are increasingly replacing people with processors, with no end in sight to the technology revolution.
Reality: With intense pressure to cut costs at most companies, lower-level IT jobs are being shipped overseas in droves; any job that can be done remotely by a lower-paid worker in India probably will be. The safer jobs involve systems engineering and proprietary software work, which requires a high degree of skill and tireless attention to new technology.
Sales reps. Conventional wisdom: In a downturn, companies are likely to hold onto the sales reps who bring in desperately needed new business, while cutting support functions and other jobs that don't contribute to the bottom line.
Reality: Companies don't always do what's rational, and besides, sales reps don't add to the bottom line when potential customers hunker down and refuse to spend money. No wonder the economy has lost more than 400,000 sales jobs since 2008.
Federal government. Conventional wisdom: Uncle Sam doesn't have to please shareholders or customers, so it doesn't face the same budget pressures as private companies. Plus, many government jobs have union protection.
Reality: The federal government has been spending far more than it takes in for a decade, with the national debt ballooning and the day of reckoning drawing near. Voters have now made it clear they want a smaller government, and cutbacks in the federal workforce seem inevitable. One harbinger of coming cuts is the U.S. Postal Service, once thought to be recession-proof itself; its labor force has shrunk by 137,000 jobs since 2008.
To be fair to the job-advice sites guiding workers toward precarious fields, many of their recession-proof lists predate the 2007-2009 recession that proved them wrong. And a number of them are derived from a 2008 book that could not have anticipated the ravages of a downturn that destroyed more than 8 million jobs. Still, many of those outdated lists pop up high on a Google search for "recession-proof jobs," and readers don't always check the date when doing research on careers.
Practically every list of recession-proof careers also includes a variety of medical jobs, from nurses and doctors to technicians and home health aides. That's valid, since the aging of America's population makes it inevitable that more people will need health care. And sure enough, healthcare has gained jobs in practically every sector over the last few years, despite the recession. But even in healthcare there are a lot of variables that could make jobs less appealing down the road. As more people flee declining industries and flock toward the few that are growing, a glut of qualified workers can develop, driving down pay and benefits. Healthcare reform could produce unexpected changes that make some jobs safer than others. And the complexity of healthcare, combined with relentless pressure to lower costs, is already leading doctors and other caregivers to report high levels of stress and low levels of satisfaction.
It might be distressing to think that no job is safe from recession, but in a fast-changing economy where old industries are displaced by new ones faster than ever, focusing on safety and stability may be the wrong way to pursue a rewarding career. There's mounting evidence that adaptable skills, creativity, and lifelong learning are the new determinants of success, with the biggest rewards going to people with multidisciplinary experience who can apply lessons learned in one field to another and accept the idea that they're likely to have two, three, or four careers, not just one. Cathy Farley of consulting firm Accenture says that as companies recover from the recession and start to hire again, they'll build a more agile workforce capable of responding to a wider variety of challenges. "Companies will organize themselves more flexibly," she says. "They'll look for people with the ability to adapt to different types of work."
Companies built around a fixed set of skills, meanwhile, may not be hiring for a long time. Industries like manufacturing, construction, telecommunications, and even insurance are still losing jobs, more than a year after the recession officially ended, and many of those lost jobs may never return. A lot of workers in those fields, naturally, are trying to break into different lines of work that offer more stability. But the first move ought to be recession-proofing yourself, by building skills that will transcend the inevitable lurches in the economy. That way, you won't be caught flat-footed when the next pay freeze or technological transformation comes along.

Ways to make Money during recession

I can put it another way that recession has its own advantages. It gives the courage to people to venture out of their current job and look for more exciting ones. It teaches them to control their personal finances and have secure financial freedom and independence. How to save money is the great question that most of us have at the moment. Will our saving be enough to survive the recession?

Here are the Top few Ways to make Money during recession:

1) Be Informed:  Be alert on what is happening in the market. If you know the market well then you can invest or re-invest in new growing ventures even at the time of recession. 
2) Have a budget and reserve for yourself:  If you do not already have a budget, then now is the time to create one.  Use your budget to determine and reduce your unnecessary expenses.   Pay down your debt and build a savings account of three to six months of your living expenses.  Get out of debt as fast as you can.  Your mortgage payment is likely to be your largest monthly bill.  You can reduce your mortgage with one of many options including downsizing, doubling up, and renting, refinancing or even foreclosing.
3) Reduce unnecessary costs:  Reduce your food costs, by eating out less and buying more food from the grocery store.  Plant a small fresh salad and vegetable garden this summer to increase your health and save some money.  Reduce window shopping, buy what is required.
All these three option seems that we should have a miser’s life.  If you think we have to enjoy life we need to spend on what ever we feel like. Then the fourth option might help.
Have you ever thought how recession is impacting you: - it does by reducing your spending power? The money you earn will not be sufficient enough to buy things you like. This situation may arise even when the market is very good.
We generally blame the company we work for and try changing companies for earning more. We negotiate on the money we get. But do you think that the companies pay you just because you bargain. Companies try to take the most out of you. They run a business and their balance sheet should match. Every penny they pay you they try to extract double. So you end up coming home late, working at night from home, your work life balance goes for a toss.
To fight our personal recession we either can save or get more revenue to spend or else increase our earnings. Increase our earning by not burning ourself more is the best and smart solution. How?
4) Create another Income Stream:  To do this you may consider taking a second job for a month or two or selling unneeded household items on eBay, but these options are not likely to bring in a significant enough income to really help you out.  What if you really want to be proactive and do something that won't just be a partial fix? 
Well, one of the most profitable ways to supplement and increase your income especially in our current economy may be with the Internet.  Many online businesses have low-start up cost, are convenient and you can work at home on your own schedule and still have the time to spend with your families and do the things you love.  Times like these are absolutely ideal for making the decision to start your own online business and take control of your financial future.  There is so much freedom and relief in not having to count on a pay check as your only means of providing for your family during times of financial and economic strain.
While the recession is certainly nothing to celebrate, it may give many enterprising people the opportunity and freedom to examine other methods of earning money.  For those people, it may prove to be a blessing in disguise and the beginning of a bright and prosperous future!

Trounce Recession


What is recession/ Down turn?
 
In economics, a recession is a business cycle contraction, a general slowdown in economic activity over a period of time. Economists officially define a recession as two consecutive quarters of negative growth in gross domestic product (GDP). The National Bureau of Economic Research cites "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months" as the hallmark of a recession.
 
During recessions, many macroeconomic indicators vary in a similar way. Production as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment, investment spending, capacity utilization, household incomes, business profits and inflation all fall during recessions; while bankruptcies and the unemployment rate rise.
 
Recessions are generally believed to be caused by a widespread drop in spending. Governments usually respond to recessions by adopting expansionary macroeconomic policies, such as increasing money supply, increasing government spending and decreasing taxation

Recession is a chaotic situation, with most of us forced to change the standard of our living. We become more constraint on our spending and more importantly our income drops. We had been facing recessions from long with the 2007-2008 being the toughest one. Is recession recurring? Yes, if we look at the history, recession is recurring, it repeats in one sector or the other in one form or the other. The end result of a recession is job loss and financial crisis. Just look back on how many people lost jobs and were forced to lead a much lower life style due to the recent recession.

People say:  If your neighbour gets laid off, it's a recession. If you get laid off, it's a depression.

Is recession permanent?

No, Recession is not permanent, it comes and goes and some are more severe and last longer than others. But history shows that recessions invariably end, and when they do, an economic recovery follows.

Are we ready to face recession?
 
The question now is how many of us are ready to face recession or how many of us feel that we will not be affected by a recession. Most of us felt the same till the beginning of 2008, when the last major recession hit the world economies. Most of our friends lost their jobs. They were earning descent salary had a luxurious life style. They had a comfortable and reliable job, which was their only source of income. But one fine day the company lets them down complaining of lack of revenue or break down due to recession. The company reduces the workforce and strives for its profit.

We may feel that my company is recession free. But the fact is no company is if the huge companies like Lehman Brothers, General Motors, Citibank can be affected by recession, any huge corporation can fall a prey to this contraction. Some day our companies can also be affected by recession.  

Who is much affect during recession the company or you? We, the people like us who rely on the company for our day to day life. There are few who feel we can survive the recession with the saving we make. Have you ever thought - How much can we save? Will our saving last for the next few months? I strongly feel no. The saving we have can help us go on say another month or two, and then we start to compromise on lot of things. US bureau of statistics reported that the economy lost 36,000 jobs in February.

We all know that fever and other small contagious disease are curable. Does that mean we love to get affected by the disease? Recession will not last long; it is followed by a recovery. Do we want recession to affect our life and then wait for recovery, or we would love to avoid it?

Now few of you will be thinking how is this possible?
