Anyone here have any success starting own company after being fired or laid off?

"Forced entrepreneurship" they call it... if it's possible to sustain yourself making and marketing jellyfish tanks, what's not? Anyone have a success story they wouldn't mind sharing about losing work and starting a profitable business?

Becoming an Independent Consultant or Freelancer might be a great option for you. According to some reports, this is the perfect economic environment for contractors and consultants to succeed. (www.mbopartners.com/consultingblog/is-recession-good-or-bad-for-freelancers.html) You can take your expertise and network of contacts from your last job and become your own boss. Is that an option you had considered?

There are no cost and low cost methods for starting your own business online. I mentor people who are interested in affiliate and network marketing as well as how to find their own niche and starting a business. I mentor for free people who have a take action attitude and have lots energy. I do not have any get rich quick ideas that is a dangerous and costly mindset. If interested contact me at lydiabrown22@comcast.net I wish you much success with whatever you do.

Well, I have a get-rich-quick scheme. Go look at the stocks. Find one for a good company (not a new company), one that sells, manufactures, fiber optics, and the stocks has not hit bottom.

Example: Digital Lightwave, Inc. in Clearwater. Now five cents a share. Buy 20,000 shares. When it hits $1.00, you will have $20,000.00. When it hits $10.00 a share, you will have $200,000.00. (Hey, this is a good idea as any)
