Did you know that some of the world’s most successful businesses were born out of a recession? Yeah, that’s right, during a recession or an economic downturn like we are in right now due to COVID, is the perfect time to start a business. Our Cake Mamas business was born out of a recession in 2009. And so were other great companies that you know like Slack, Uber, Instagram, and Venmo.

Eddie and I believe that Necessity and Opportunity are the main reasons why it’s a good idea to start a business right now. Successful people find a workaround during times like these to optimize available opportunities rather than just sit there and complain.

Life is challenging and was never supposed to be easy. When you encounter challenges along the way, like many people have during this pandemic, what is your attitude towards them. You can choose to sit there and have a poor attitude towards the challenges, or you can choose to find opportunities.

Just like other challenging times in history, some people will come out of this pandemic with something new and useful to society. That’s why most millionaires are built out of recessions than at any other time. These people are no different from you listening to the PUSH podcast. They are just driven by necessity and opportunity
