&lt;p&gt;This recession can be good? No, I haven't had too much to drink. But you may think so after reading that title. But give me a chance to explain and you'll clearly see my point and benefit from it at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the surface the recession we're now in can look like doom and gloom, especially if you're a part of the mortgage, auto or construction industry. But the key word you should remember is the word &lt;em&gt;market correction&lt;/em&gt;. History has proven that every so-called &lt;em&gt;market correction &lt;/em&gt;has quietly produced a new crop of millionaires.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, while the masses moaned and groaned a small segment of the population refused to participate, but instead looked for opportunities. They looked behind every hedge, under every rock, and behind every door until they found a niche.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That simple idea that provide an unmet, overlooked or unfilled need others missed. You know that slap-your-forehead idea that makes you say &amp;ldquo;why didn&amp;rsquo;t I think of that?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This principle goes all the way back to Old Testament Biblical days. Then instead of calling a recession a market correction, they called it a wealth transfer. This is where the playing field levels so-to-speak and a new crop of players can move in - but only if they&amp;rsquo;re prepared.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The recession, market correction or wealth transfer is where the first is made last and the last is made first.&lt;/p&gt;
Not the complainers, not the worriers, not the something-for-nothing thinkers. But those who were alert to opportunity and took action saw increase during market corrections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you can pull yourself away from the doom and gloom news reports and act on the following suggestions you&amp;rsquo;ll not only survive this recession - you&amp;rsquo;ll thrive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Believe it or not scores of people are too busy quietly raking in barrels of cash to participate in this recession. As my wise grandma used to tell me, &amp;ldquo;Roy you can complain or you can make money but you can&amp;rsquo;t do both at the same time.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's 3 things opportunity minded people do to survive and come out of this recession on top. Now you can be a part of this elite group.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. They Listen To People Whose Making Money In this Recession.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite the news reports you hear everyday about companies going under and laying off workers, here&amp;rsquo;s the good news. If you'll do your own research you'll discover not only businesses making money but new business spring up because of the recession.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. They&amp;rsquo;re adaptable to change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The people who survive and come out on top during a recession are the ones who are willing to adjust the quickest. Change always requires an adaptable spirit. If you're slow to change or adapt the recession will crush you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. They look for niche opportunities while others complain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the quickest ways to find money making opportunities is to listen to what people complain about and find a way to give them a solution. Another tip to finding niche opportunities during a recession is to notice what people don&amp;rsquo;t like to do and find a way to do it for them ... for a fee of course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most people would be happy to pay you to do something they hate, despise or loathe doing. Wouldn't you?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, I hope reading this gave you new insights on how to not only survive but thrive during this recession. If you&amp;rsquo;ll follow these simple tips while others are complaining and worrying you&amp;rsquo;ll be too busy making money.&lt;/p&gt;
