Opportunities in an Age of Economic Uncertainty

The current economic situation has been described as one of the worst recessions in recent history, and as a possible depression not seen since the Great Depression. Most economists agree that the current economic crisis has probably not hit the bottom, and that the road to recovery will be long and hard.

Personally, I believe that the recovery is within our reach.

If we take a look at how the current economic crisis is evolving, we tend to see a trend and what some call a vicious circle. Let me explain. Companies around the world are feeling the economic punch and are looking for ways to become profitable and to stay in business. Most companies look for ways to lower their costs by cutting salaries, re-negotiating salaries, and maybe even laying off workers.

If salaries are reduced, or if employees are let go, their spending power will be affected. People will start to re-evaluate their spending and will focus on covering basic necessities. By examining this effect, it becomes obvious that people will start to spend less and will try to save more. By doing so, they start consuming less goods that are not basic necessity.

Now, if people start spending less, companies that produce goods are affected directly by having lower sales volumes. This translates into companies having a difficult time covering expenses, and thus having to look for ways to cut costs, resulting in cutting salaries and laying off workers.

There you have it! The cycle begins again. Of course, one of the simple laws of economics comes into play: demand and supply. If the demand for a certain product decreases, the supply of this product has to adjust itself to the demand, in order to not have to lower the price of the goods. This makes sense, and is one of the primary reasons for the economic crisis, along with inflated prices for certain goods, the famous NINJA (no income, no job) credits, and in some cases, manipulation of information.

You are probably thinking, referencing the title of this article, what does this have to do with opportunity.

Well, opportunity is a key factor for getting out of this cycle. No matter what the economic situation is, there are hundreds of thousands of people who are trying to find new ways of generating income. Like some say: “The crisis brings out the best in us, it creates new ideas, it helps the creative process, and it makes us tougher and wiser”

With this concept in mind, one of the things we need, is the right attitude. By right attitude I mean, the will to fight, work hard, and find new ways of generating income so that the current economic crisis does not affect us.

If you sit at work all day, and then at home all night thinking only about the crisis, and how it is affecting, you are not helping yourself. You have to change your state of mind, and try to see the positive side of it. Think about how you can survive this crisis and what you can do to come out on top.

The basic concept follows the line of not depending on one single stream of income, like a job. You have to create multiple streams of income, so that if one fails, you still have the others to rely on. Basically, the more income streams you have, the better.

Most people would think that having multiple streams of income involves having 2 jobs, maybe investing in the stock market, and so on.

And here is the secret! You have to create multiple streams of passive income, income that will basically generate by itself for you. How is this possible?

What are JW saying about this economic crisis?

They always have magazine articles about current events. Do they talk about saving money, preparing for hard times?
that’s exactly what i thought they would be saying.

Shoes going down in price, thats good for them. hahah!

They keep coming to my door and I will not answer it anymore…
Do you think coming to the Bat Cave with your books are going to do anything? What do you offer that Allah SWT has not already offered me.

If I hold the sun and the moon in my hands and blow unto you away with wind…. then what of those are better than Allah? AstugfarAllah Azeem

I will never leave my post, that means all of th earth and beyond this universe. Allah SWT is the best reward for anyone, not this pathetic place with its stupid rules and moronic ignorance beyond comprehension. AstugfarAllah Azeem

Oh Allah take me when my death is good for me, and keep me alive as long as life is good for me. InshAllah amin…
