$100,000/YEAR RECESSION-PROOF BUSINESSES

Some businesses seem to strengthen in times of recession. When

the economy starts to slow, people start looking around for ways

to cut back on expenses, and they give up the frivolous items in

favor of the basics.

Despite the recession, the health care industry is swelling with

opportunity. Health care is more expensive than ever, and the

health care community provides more services than ever. And, as

the baby boomers age, the market promises to grow ever larger for

products and service that help people live longer, live more

comfortably, and live more enjoyable in old age. While you may be

likely to come up with some astounding new medical breakthrough

in your garage, you may be able to profit from by establishing a

delivery service or selling health care products that will

generate hefty revenues.

As we said, people don't cut back on their intake of food just

because a recession is underway. Instead, they will cut back on

the fancy stuff and take a renewed look at how the basics can be

made to satisfy their need for variety. A fresh fruit and

vegetables always look good. If you have at least a small plot of

land you can grown enough food to make a surprisingly good

living.

Death is another part of the life cycle that isn't going to stop

for a recession, and a well-run funeral parlor will weather the

economic storms.

Debt collection is another area that remains steady in good times

or bad. If you like telephone work, you can develop a clientele

that will rely on you to collect on overdue bills through the

courts.

Plumbing, electrical, roof repair, termiting and other vital home

repair functions will continue to thrive in periods of recession.

If homeowners put off maintenance and repairs, it only means that

ultimately they will pay a higher price for a greater amount of

work.

In bad times, there are always ways to thrive, if you are

perceptive and agile. Never feel that because a recession is

under way that there are no opportunities open to you.
