In today's economy many people are finding themselves in unfortunate situations. Job loss peaked earlier this year. So, what happens? They hang out online, looking for something, just not sure what. I've had a rash of new people at my work at home forum, The Independent World Community, all looking for ways to earn some extra cash.

One woman decided to take the plunge and start her own business. She had enough sense to start a small business savings account last year and boy did that come in handy! Since she already had some funds aside all she really needed to do was move forward with her business plan. Sometimes when bad things happen it really is for the better. Her losing her job give her for free time to concentrate on her dream business! She really has inspired a lot of people who frequent my forum. It's nice to see.
