Let's face it, we've entered a recession and the economic climate is tough right now with no signs of letting up anytime soon. So is this the best time to start a home business or build an existing business? How is the small business owner going to make it when the big companies are downsizing or going under? Just look at a few recent store closing announcements:

• Eddie Bauer to close more stores Eddie Bauer has already closed 27 shops in the first quarter and plans to close up to two more outlet stores by the end of the year.

• Foot Locker to close 140 stores In the company press release and during its conference call with analysts, it did not specify where the future store closures - all planned in fiscal 2008 - will be.

• Gap Inc. closing 85 stores In addition to its namesake chain, Gap also owns Old Navy and Banana Republic . The company said the closures - all planned for fiscal 2008 -will be weighted toward the Gap brand.

• KB Toys posted a list of 356 stores that it is closing around the United States as part of its bankruptcy reorganization.

 The truth is with today's technology at our fingertips, home business owners can actually be better equipped to deal with a recession and downturns in the economy than the big businesses. Why is that?

• Home Businesses don't have the high overhead and cost to run their business
• No employees
• No big advertising budget
• No building rental or property taxes
• High tech tools to do business around the world at reasonable prices
• Legitimate tax deductions on utilities, mortgage, etc. that we would be paying even if we didn't have a home business.

That's the good news, but why is it that almost 97% of network marketers and over 80% of all small businesses fail?

• Lack of activity, or the right activities to build their business
• Lack of people, or failure to market to the right people
• Underdeveloped skills
• Lack or depletion of a marketing budget
