Making Money in a Shaky Economy

In the mid 00’s, defaulting mortgages put a quick end to the
easy-to-get mortgages for underqualified borrowers from previous years. Slowing home sales eventually pulled down the
global economy. Moneylender sales seemed
a bellwether, as sales slumped dramatically from 2006 to 2009. While the lending market languished, so did Moneylender.

What tools do we find lying around us, waiting to be picked
up and used for profit and productivity?
Within each of us is a tremendous imagination, a problem-solving
mechanism with decades of observations of the world about us. When the world takes a turn down a new and
unfamiliar road, it is our opportunity to branch out into some new adventure.
For me, I have observed several things that present a great
opportunity where I live. I worked for
many years alongside a property management company. I rented my house in Arizona to several wildly
different tenants over a span of five years.
I have been doing the taxes for my own businesses and other organizations
for years including LLCs, Corporations, and 501c3 nonprofits. I have arranged contracts for all types of
agreements, and revised them through experience. I have negotiated contracts with state
government. I talk about money with almost
everyone, and I’m not even a little bashful about bringing up the subject of
how much I make or discussing someone’s finances with them. I have talked to Moneylender customers for fifteen
years, learning about exotic partnerships, yields, deals, pitfalls, regulations. I lost most of my business, my home, more money than I could afford to lose, and $40,000 of
a friend's money (along with that friendship). But I did it with my eyes
open. That pain and humiliation transmuted
slowly, and with great effort, into cautiousness, prudence and planning.

You, too, have an interest in business and investing – you wouldn’t
be reading this little article on a fairly unnoticed blog if you didn’t. There’s some pet project of yours that has
been rattling around your thoughts like a stone in the surf on a beach – your mind
ceaselessly, patiently working it into a perfectly polished plan. If the economy leaves you in a position to
make a bold new step, take that idea and put it decisively into action.

And if your project involves lending money or managing loans
from other people, use Moneylender Professional to service your loans. It’s very affordable, full-featured and easy
to get started. Thanks for reading!
