Tips to morphing your business to survive and even thrive in economic downturns.

Many people hit a slump when things turn down in the economy. They have a core business that perhaps has been working well for a few years then the slowdown....

This current downturn is the third I have personally experienced in adulthood. Back in the late 1980's was scary especially if you had a mortgage however as with all black clouds some also had a silver lining - those who had investments - for example in the bank such as term deposits and in those days mortgage savings accounts which offset your mortgages.

In the late 1990's there didn't seem to be as much of an impact in Australia but at that time I was dealing mainly with South East Asian clients and most often with projects between Australia and Indonesia. This was the time of the Monetary Crisis or in Bahasa Indonesia - 'crismon'. I went from having a few very cushy lucrative contracts and an office in the main street of Perth to working from home and working full-time as a domestic to ensure the business kept going and I had money to re-invest into it. Fortunately this did not last a full year and there were those around me advising me to diversify and offer the same services to the local market and get a bit more hands on. Thankfully I did and these experiences have really made a difference in preparation and the handling of this current and even more severe economic crisis.

So tips include:

1 Diversify your income options - in addition to your normal job (or even business) consider other income options so even if the worst happens and you find yourself either unemployed or losing big contracts as a business owner/operator - you are not totally reliant on this one source of income.

2 If you haven't already started a savings plan and a giving plan - it's never too late. Even a few dollars squirrelled away can assist you and others.

3 Invest in yourself - this may be through adding more into superannuation or investing into your business or future.

4 Make the most of the downturn and take the time to smell the roses [during the late 1990's while on an extended trip to Indonesia - I had the opportunity to visit many old business associates and see how their lives had simplified - yes, they had lost their cars or their fancy apartments but they had come to cherish this extra time off spent with family - it also seems a few more babies were conceived at this time!]

5 make time to meditate or pray or contemplate (whichever method you prefer) and allow your creativity to flow - be open to new opportunities whether they be a second job, home based business, internet or network marketing.....

6 be disciplined - even a few hours a week will make a difference - stick with it and if you do not lose heart your efforts will be rewarded

7 be teachable - most people have an opinion and usually this annoys others however sometimes they have a point - consider suggestions and make informed decisions before rejecting things out of hand.

8 Read the success stories of people you admire - what can you learn from them and perhaps adopt into your own circumstances.

Life is a challenge - there will always be ups and downs - seasons of sewing and reaping - these last few years in Australia have seen many reaping but now perhaps is your time to sew again for future harvests.

How the Power of Positive Thinking Changed My Internet Business

There are many skeptical people who always look at the negative things out of every situation and then they wonder why they keep running in to obstacles and never seem to have success with their business. The one thing that they are missing is the power of positive thinking.

I can honestly say that when I first got started I was the same way as these people I mentioned and did not believe in any positive things. But as time went by I began to realize that the only way to improve the results I was getting in my Internet business was to first improve my mindset. This article will tell the tale of my sudden change and how success came knocking at my door.

As I mentioned I was a very negative person and always thought about the things that could go wrong instead of focusing on making sure things went right. It was not until I was introduce to the power of positive thinking that I was able to realize all that I was doing wrong. I began to see things in a different way and began to dedicate some time into developing my mind.

I had to understand that success would take time and that results were not going to just show up overnight. Once I was able to see things clearly I was able to drastically improve in my Internet Business. I began to see results and this encouraged me even more to keep on improving my mind and gain more knowledge.

Just like I was able to utilize the power of positive thinking so can you. Just be willing to dedicate time and it will definitely show off in your results.

6 Tips to Dream Building

Dream Building is essential in these uncertain times. Recently I have had cause to regularly ask people about their dreams and I have been left feeling saddened by the downturn in dream building - ie not the downturn in the economy but the downturn in dream building!!! What do I mean by this....

In life sometimes even the most choleric or sanguine personalities can undergo depression - not necessarily a clinical depression but a loss of heart or hope.

We need dreams... they help us focus on what life could be ...only if...

A couple of years ago I was blessed and so had the chance to change my life so my daydreaming of "what would I do if I won lotto?" or "what would I do if I found a rich husband?" came in very handy!

Tips to building your dreams

1 make a list of your dreams - try and reach 10 or even 100 dreams and tick these off as you go along. These can be anything from having enough money to pay your rent, getting out of your current debt, visiting your sponsor children, paying for your relatives in Europe to come to Australia to visit

2 commit to those dreams - perhaps start off really small if that is easier. eg buying that skincare kit to look and feel younger, or joining that extra special gym to get fit and meet motivated people

3 make a plan - keep on the lookout for opportunities to achieve those dreams. Hint: if there are possibilities of working with others - companies or people - with fantastic reputations - become involved with them

4 work with a team of supporters - surround your everyday with positive people who think big and encourage you. If there are phlegmatics or melancholies in your household - reduce the influence they have on you and increase the influence you have on them - eg watching or listening to motivational movies, film clips, cd's, inspiring music, read books, and say positive affirmations

5 journal daily or at least a couple of times a week and record your journey for prosterity and maybe publishing later - share your experiences with those around you - inspire others. Notice that sometimes even perceived negatives can be inspiring.

6 be the person you want to become - live life to the full, learn everyday, laugh heartily and love expansively
