The economic slowdown can have a lot of side effects. For instance, you could end up a millionaire.

History is living proof of this. GE, Burger King, Wikipedia to name a few, all started during the worst of times and made it big.

Often an economic slowdown is the perfect time to start a new enterprise. Pink slips and job insecurities mean that talent is much easier to source. Real estate is cheaper, government policies are conducive, inflation is under control and the growth rate is steady.

In fact, you can almost smell opportunity hanging in the air. It's a time ripe for fresh ideas and innovative products and services.

So bring your ideas, your conviction and an open mind. History beckons.
