Lets get real, times are tough and a lot of people are losing their jobs. A lot of people are looking at their options, and one of them is working from home and working on your own or on a startup of some kind. One might think that it is a crappy time to start a new career, but as Seth Godin writes:

"Inc. magazine reports that a huge percentage of companies in this year's Inc. 500 were founded within months of 9/11. Talk about uncertain times.

"But uncertain times, frozen liquidity, political change and poor astrological forecasts (not to mention chicken entrails) all lead to less competition, more available talent and a do-or-die attitude that causes real change to happen.

"If I wasn't already running my own business, today is the day I'd start one."
