Yesterday, I described how developing a home business can be one way to recession-proof your family. In addition, I tried to point out that many of my colleagues with a training background have a lot to offer this growing industry. Finally, I provided a link to some sample training provided by Mike Klingler of the [...] As I have suggested elsewhere, one way to recession-proof is to develop additional income from a home business. In fact, while the creation of home businesses have been on the rise for years, interest is exploding right now. Whether it’s a hobby converted to a business (eg., photography, cooking, crafts), consulting (eg., in the [...] I admit it. When I named this new blog “The Recession-Proof Trainer,” I knew the word recession would grab attention.
