Think starting a business during an economic downturn is a bad idea? Maybe not, according to this story from The Economist. Though it focuses largely on IHOP's initial startup during tough economic times, there is also an interview with an expert and a survey of successful businesses that started during lean years.

Agreed, Deb. I believe it can be done. I'm starting a business of my own during these hard times and though it's tough going, I can tell you it is definitely possible to get clients...if your product is needed.

Inspiring to see. We just have to remember that there is opportunity everywhere, you just have to be open to it and not defeat yourself with a negative attitude.
