We call it a side hustle where im from
Growing up in the Bronx taught me many things. I grew up in a middle class neighborhood when they still existed. The Bronx is rough but we still lived in a two family house with both parents who worked. I was luck enough to have an extended family there to help me grow as a youngster.
Now for doing our chores around the house my brother and I were given allowance but as a young kid you always want/need more money. To supplement my allowance we always came up with various ways to create income. Whether it was raking leaves, mowing grass, washing cars or even shoveling snow we always were looking for a way to make money.
In these lean times I believe everyone should be looking for ways to create additional income. Bills always seem to go up and at a rate so much greater than our raises. In addition there is no longer any job security. Both my mother and father only had a few jobs in there life while I've had about a dozen. Times have changed.
Now a side hustle can be anything but the most important thing is to find something that leverages your time, is something you are interested in pursuing as well as makes money. There are 1000's of opportunities on the net and I encourage you to do your research. Be sure to fit your skills with the opportunity there or if now exist create one.
In your search be sure to take a look at my opportunity in the travel industry and the various options we have to get you started. I wish you the best of luck in your search. Whether you get started with me or another opportunity I just encourage you to start. You need a side hustle to survive these days.

A Well Rounded Coastal Business
How do you build a well rounded business with Coastal Vacations? Building a solid Coastal business takes a few components.
1- Leads
Leads can be looked at in two categories. First we have business opportunity leads. These are people that are looking to have a business opportunity and see Coastal as a viable option. There are many ways to generate these leads. I create leads by posting in forum such as this, blogging ( I use blogger + now wordpress), traffic exchanges ( list lotto, trafficsplash, free traffic bar, link referral + list joe to list a few), post in the social networks ( yuwie, ojeez, apsense, ryze and a few others), write articles, do press releases as well as creating lead capture pages. It seems like alot but making a schedule and doing the task in a sequence works. Plus you dont have to do each of them but only the ones you like. In addition I get 80,000 opt in leads a month ( free ) as well as 800 survey leads (free).
2- Making calls
The phone is a necessity for many in this business. I make calls to my leads during the day as well as answering my phone from the inquiries I get from my online activity. Im adding another component to my calling structure in the upcoming week as well. I actually looking to create a call center. Yes take a deep breath. For years I wasnt their biggest fan but ive found a center that actually makes outbound calls. I think its a good addition. Its like having a phone team. I'll update everyone as time goes on as to the progress.
3- Create a retail division
Retail is huge. You can retail to business. You can have travel parties. You can do so much on the retail end. Actually more people will just buy the travel package then wanting to do the business opportunity. I focus most of my energy on this aspect of my business.
4- Network for referrals
Give away vacations like crazy. Helping other business owners endears them to you and they become more willing to refer potential customers your way. Help them close their deals by giving them a cruise voucher. Show them how this package works for them and many will buy a package from you.
5- Get a good autoresponder
This can make or break your business. Have a prospecting campaign as well as a follow up campaign and if you can create an information campaign. I send out emails of free tools I find on the net to my prospects. Many sign up for them and become more open to things im selling as ive given them something useful. My free leads campaign is going exceptional. Its really opened up alot of dialog wih many of these prospects.
6 - Use the system.
Live calls are your best friend. Im actually creating a series of live calls that my team as well as anyone in Coastal can attend. The live Coastal Calls are a bit too late for east coast people so im going to make a solution. If you want details be sure to contact me. The calls will be open to all but understand as im hosting them I will be promoting the systems I use but will always talk about there being choices and everyone can use what is best for them.
If you follow these simple steps you can create a well rounded business model that will work . I hope this information has been helpful and as always my door is open for questions.

Marketing Your Business With Video – 7 Benefits
BY ERIC GREEN
You’ve heard that using video to market your business can bring incredible results. But do the benefits outweigh the effort it takes to put your video online? In a word, Yes! Shooting a video, editing and formatting it, uploading it to the internet with the right title and description takes a bit of time. But the payoff for video marketing can be tremendous. Here are seven real benefits of marketing with video:
1.Personal Connection – Especially for internet based businesses, the personal connection with your potential market is a huge selling factor. With video, your audience can truly get to know you, eye-to-eye. They get to see that you are indeed a real, live person. They start building a deeper relationship with you and feel as if they actually have met you.
2.Social proof – There’s an old proverb: “Believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see.” On the internet it’s so easy to be a fake and a fraud. People are skeptical about claims they read online, and rightfully so. But video puts a face to your words and makes you more believable and trustworthy.
3.Traffic – People are watching 2 BILLION videos per day on YouTube alone! That’s a whole lot of traffic you’re missing if you’re not marketing yourself with video. It’s free and easy to add your video to a large number of the video sites available online.
4.Emotional Influence – The classic horror movie is a great example of how the audio has an emotional effect on us. The creepy music comes in, immediately cluing you in that something bad is about to happen. Now, imagine combining that audio with powerful video cues to influence the emotions of the listener and create a much more compelling message than with just text alone.
5.Portability – Maybe even more so then articles and ebooks, video is portable. iPhones, Smartphones, iPads and all kinds of other devices allow video to be seen on the go. You can also allow people to download video easily so they can view it over and over again.
6.Demonstrations – Reviews, case studies and examples are great ways to sell products and services. It’s the reason why infomercials make millions of dollars. Now there’s no need for you to be as annoying as the Sham-Wow guy to make money with video; you just need to create videos that show and tell your potential customers why your product will be helpful for them.
7.Engagement – There are many reports available online to show that video boosts response and conversion rates. When someone is watching a video, you have their full attention – eyes and ears. Unlike with the written word, they’re not likely skip ahead or gloss over important information. Most people will watch a video from beginning to end, allowing you to clearly create a message and call to action that engages your audience.
Overall, video is an effective marketing strategy that is only growing in popularity. Since video is here to stay, it’s time to check out the options and see how quick and easy video marketing can be.

TREAT YOUR BUSINESS LIKE A BUSINESS 3
Treating your business as a business means learning to adapt. New technology is always coming out and we must be able to embrace it. Look at traditional businesses like fast food. With the big push on health many restaurants now have meals that are much better for our bodies. They have adapted. Do you do the same? Email marketing is forever changing. Phone calling is changing. B2B presentations are different than when I got in sales. You must learn to adapt.
This is the hardest part of any business. To learn how to embrace change and implement it without slowing down production can be hard to juggle. Take Contact Talk. I don't have the program but have been talking to many that have it. The going thing is that it takes some time to learn it. Many are faster learners than others so the slower learners will be taking time away from other business activities to get the jist of the program. That time can result in slower production. So you have to learn to weigh implementing new technology. My usual method is to have new technology overlap with my older technology. By this I mean test out new stuff before you do away with the old way.
As you will continue to see I will always give examples of traditional business. It seems to me with all the downsizing and outsourcing of jobs that some day home based business will be traditional business. The good thing is the same principles always work. Give people good service for a fair price. Buy merchandise at wholesale and sell retail. Give customers what they want.
I know that as you change your mindset about business you will see incredible result. In fact I feel sorry for many business owners I meet. There is a meat market in my town that my wife and I frequent. As we go there often we have gotten friendly with the owner and the fact we are business owners as well has come up. As we talked about us being in travel his eyes lit up. We asked where he would like to go and when and his response was ill be going on vacation in about 2 years from now. I asked why so long and he explained that he has no one he can trust to run the business in his absence. That is painful. Here is someone living the so called American dream that cant even enjoy the fruits of is labor.
I am so happy we are in the industry we are in. I get up when I want, go to bed when I want and live the lifestyle I want. What better life could I ask for. I get to interact with so many incredible people and learn as I go. If you want the best life you can have then get in a home based business like Coastal and treat it like a business and get ready for amazing rewards and blessings.

Treat Coastal Vacations like a business 2
What is a business? A business is where you have a service to offer and you exchange that service for something in return. Now for someone to want your service they must first have a need for what you do. I will refer to that as the "WHY". Now understand for them to give you some sort of 'CURRENCY" your service must be worthy. Would you spend your money on a new car if it didnt look new? Probably not ( some savvy buyers would use that as a opportunity to get a lower price). This exactly what happens when the perceived value of a product is lowered. You get haggling. Have any of you ever tried to haggle the price of a makeover in a beauty salon? Not many do they just pay the posted prices on services. You see they have established themselves as a viable business with a valuable product and you will even wait weeks to get an appointment to pay their price. They treat their business as a business and people act accordingly.
I have never had problems with the money issue when it comes to prospects. I saw Coastal for the value is was right in the beginning. 5 cruises for $1295. That's a no-brainer. When I talk to a client I show them the value of the product. When they understand value they are willing to exchange their "CURRENCY" as now they have a big enough "WHY". I treat Coastal like the business it is. When I do that prospects act accordingly.
Many of my teammates and associates work Coastal part-time. I give them the salon talk all the time. I assure them if they direct someone through the info and let them know you have specific hours for your business the serious prospects will follow the instructions. It indirectly conveys a few ideas to them.
1- First off they see you are serious as you act professional and have hours of operations.
2- It lets them know they can do they same. So many of us have way too busy lives so the last thing we need is another something to intrude on our lives.
Again business owners understand this. Why do you think drive thru fast food stores do so well. Its the convenience. As you show a prospect that this business is an enhancement to their lives and not just an addition you will see your finances and time freedom soar.
So step one is TREAT YOUR BUSINESS LIKE A BUSINESS!

Treat Coastal Vacations like a business
Treat your Coastal Business as a business. That is rule number one. So many people think well I only spent $1295 and I dont have employees or a storefront so this cant be a real business. Well folks that is as far from the truth as can be. This is the new wave of business. Automation and the internet have changed the way business is done. You need to change your mindset and understand that business is now a global industry and the number one tool is the computer.
How can I treat my business as a business? Well first you have to model it after a traditional business. What does that mean you ask? Okay in any business you need a product, our product is travel. Respect that you are part of the 7 trillion dollar industry that it is. When you respect something you treat it correctly.
As a business you need to make hours of operation. Marketing strategies need to be implemented. A plan has to be in place. As a serious business owner these things must be your top priority. I look at my business as a billion dollar empire and one day it will pay me that way. I know thats a lofty expectation but hey I shoot for a billion and get a million well ill still be happy. If you have Bentley in your driveway how would you treat it? Well Coastal can be that Bentley.
Businesses have budgets so have one for your Coastal business. This is not a hobby. Many people have made 6 figures and some 7 figures in this business. Look at your expenses. See what your assets are as well as what your liabilities are. Understand and learn the business of business. Learn to barter services with other business owners. I cant tell you how many times Ive bartered a great trip for a service. Give a printer at a print shop a much needed vacation and get your fliers in exchange. Maybe you can get business cards. I have even bartered trips for ad space as well as to secure rooms for a presentation. You have a business with an unlimited supply of inventory. Use that inventory.
I understand how valuable my business is. It's like being the best looking person in the party. You know you have what everyone wants so you are the hunted. Act accordingly. Understand you are important and have something to offer. So many of us get desperate and chase people. We need that next sale so bad we lose our composure. Never be that person. When you are desperate the people feel it and will string you along. You lose all of your posture. Remember you offer a service that everyone loves. You offer it at an incredible price.
This is my first tidbit of information on how to treat Coastal as a business. Stay tuned as I share my experiences and help all that are looking at this incredible opportunity.

Happiness
If I could bottle a pill and sell happiness my wealth would put Oprah and Bill Gates to shame. As children we are always so happy but as adults the weight of the world seems to keep us from finding that magical place. So what can we all do to increase our happiness.
1-PUT GOD FIRST
I understand that many of the people in the world don't believe in GOD but HE exist and is in control. As we focus on HIM and put HIM first he will lead us to happiness and contentment.
2-BE THANKFUL
I am the first to admit that all of the material things that I desire are not in my possession yet but GOD has given me all I need and I need to be thankful. As I become more thankful I appreciate what I have and focus on it and the result is happiness.
3-GIVE BACK TO OTHERS
As we do for others the feeling that we receive is amazing. Ever volunteer for people less fortunate than ourselves? When we do it makes us understand how blessed we are and that in turn brings us happiness.
4-SMILE
It takes so much more effort to frown than to smile. You can disarm the most difficult of situations by just smiling. I have used this to my advantage over and over again. Try it out yourself and see.
Happiness is within all of our grasp. You just have to focus on what you have and not what you don't have. I encourage you all to read the Bible and look at how it talks about how we think and being thankful. So much has been said and done about THE SECRET and THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. Well the source of all that knowledge is the Bible.
HAVE A BLESSED AND HAPPY DAY

The Law of Attraction - It's About Frequency
Many of us have heard of the Law of Attraction - that like attracts like. However, many are confused about what this really means.
In my experience, like attracts like means that like frequency attracts like frequency. My high frequency attracts the things I want and my low frequency attracts the things I don't want.
The question then becomes, what raises or lowers frequency?
WHAT LOWERS FREQUENCY?
Anything that makes you feel down lowers your frequency. Here is a list of what I have found lowers frequency:
* INTENT TO CONTROL - When your desire is to control your feelings, as well as others and outcomes, you are operating out of your wounded self, which lowers your frequency. Even positive thoughts can lower your frequency when your intent is to control rather than be loving to yourself and others.
* NEGATIVE THINKING, RESENTMENT, JUDGMENT AND SELF-JUDGMENT - The lies you tell yourself from your ego wounded self lower your frequency. Feelings of fear, anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, shame, jealousy, and envy all have a low frequency, so any thought that comes from false beliefs and that creates these feelings lowers your frequency.
* RESISTANCE - The fear of being controlled by others, by God, or even by yourself, creates resistance, which lowers the frequency.
* ALCOHOL - While people might convince themselves that they raise their frequency when drinking, this is not true. Just because it may lower your stress, doesn't mean it raises your frequency.
* PRESCRIPTION DRUGS - Since prescription drugs are alien to the body, the body has to work to deal with them, which causes a lowering of frequency.
* RECREATIONAL DRUGS - A few recreational drugs - the kinds of drugs that indigenous people used infrequently to connect with Spirit - can raise your frequency for a short period of time. But frequent use has the opposite effect.
* FOOD - Fresh, whole organic food has a high frequency, but processed foods have a low frequency and lower the frequency of your body.
* LACK OF EXERCISE - Our bodies are meant to move; not moving lowers your frequency.
* LACK OF SLEEP - It is hard to have a high frequency when you don't get enough sleep.
* LACK OF WATER - Dehydration creates huge stress on the body, which lowers the frequency.
* NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENT - It is often hard to maintain a positive attitude when in a negative environment. We are affected both positively and negatively by others' frequency.
WHAT RAISES FREQUENCY?
* INTENT TO LEARN - Our free will to choose our intent in any given moment is the most powerful choice we have. Choosing to learn about loving ourselves and others, rather than choosing to protect/avoid/control is the major way we have of raising our frequency. This is why, when we think positively from an intent to control, in an attempt to manifest what we want, we are often not successful, as anything done from the intent to control - even positive thinking - lowers the frequency.
* POSITIVE THINKING - This might seem like a contradiction to the statement above, but it is about intent. When your intent in thinking positively is to be loving to yourself and support your highest good, this raises your frequency. When your intent in positive thinking is to control others and outcomes, then it lowers your frequency.
* FOOD - Fresh whole foods that are in alignment with your metabolism and that support your health, raise your frequency.
* EXERCISE - Exercise that you love and that makes you feel alive raises your frequency. Forcing yourself to do exercise that you don't like lowers your frequency.
* GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP - Sleep is vital for feeling good enough to be open to and connected with yourself, others and your spiritual Guidance. Being disconnected from ourselves lowers our frequency.
* DRINKING ENOUGH WATER - Being fully hydrated is vital to keeping your frequency high.
* BEING IN A PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT - Being in nature, listening to music, and being around loving and accepting people raises your frequency.
* LOVE - Love and peace are the highest frequency feelings, so being loving to yourself and others, which creates inner peace, raises your frequency.
Like does attract like, so focus on keeping your frequency high and you will manifest your dreams!

How To Build Self-Confidence
When I was in my late teens a friend of mine, an elite athlete, gave me the most profound, yet simple advice that changed the way I would view myself forever. He told me:
"You yourself have to think you're great because no one else is going to tell you that you are."
Translation - It means that we alone are responsible for building self-confidence. We cannot depend upon, or wait for anyone else's approval. We must see ourselves as worthy and capable of achieving anything we choose to achieve.
Ultimately, how we see ourselves is more important than how anyone else sees us.
If we don't work at loving and accepting ourselves, nothing anyone else thinks matters.

Tips For Building Self-Confidence
- Acknowledge Your Uniqueness. Believe in yourself and know that you are one of a kind. In the words of Walt Whitman know:
- Give it Your Best. When you do the best you can, with the best of what you've got, you can't help but feel good about yourself and that confidence comes through in everything that you do. Giving it your best makes you unafraid to take risks or step out of your comfort zone - both great confidence-builders.
- Persevere. Everybody has setbacks and obstacles to contend with. Don't let them undermine your confidence. Treat them as opportunities to strengthen your resolve and then persevere.
- Overcome adversity. Overcoming adversity builds and strengthens self-confidence. The greatest songs, works of art and literary pieces have been written by those who have experienced the depths of despair, loss and emptiness and overcame them. Experiencing sadness and loss, and then rising above them, gives rise to hope and triumph. It makes you stretch and become more than you were.
- Accomplish something. Set goals for yourself and then push yourself to reach them. Self-confidence soars when you know you can do what you put your mind to. It makes you feel unstoppable. Likewise, achieve mastery. Mastery experiences are those in which you know you have worked hard and put in great effort to achieve success.
- Separate Yourself From the Event. You are not what happens to you, nor how you believe others see you. In other words, you are not defined by what happens to you, nor are you defined by how others see you. You are who you choose to be - a person of character, dignity and self-confidence.
- Confront your fears. There's nothing that destroys self-confidence more than succumbing to fear. Everyone feels fear at various times; we're human, however facing circumstances with courage and poise strengthens character and builds self-confidence. Put yourself out there! If you're afraid to meet new people, attend social events, etc. - don't stay home and fret. Doing builds confidence. Of course, you'll feel, and probably be awkward the first few times in new situations, however, the more you do it, the better you'll get, and therefore the better you'll feel about yourself.
- Good looks do not equal self-confidence. Some of the most attractive people in the world are insecure and lack self-confidence. Marilyn Monroe was considered to be one of the sexiest, most beautiful people in the world, yet she lacked a positive self-image. She misguidedly allowed external factors, such as the approval of others, to determine her self worth. Good looks may help you feel good about yourself temporarily, but are by no means enough.
- Take good care of yourself. When you are in fit, in good health, and make a point of looking your best, you can't help but feel confident. This is different, of course, from comparing your looks to others. It's about being comfortable with you. Everyone looks good when they're in good shape, well groomed, and healthy. You can't help but have a glow about you when you take good care of yourself.
- Learn how to give yourself a pep talk. We all have our down moments, moments of doubt, confusion and uncertainty. When that happens, we must learn how to restore self-confidence. One way is to understand that everyone goes through such moments. Another is to remember past successes, visualize the desired outcome, and keep at it! Practice makes perfect.

Use Government Resources in your Area to Improve your Small Business
As a new resident of Cecil County Maryland I was so unaware of all the resources that are available to small businesses. That has changed. This past friday I had an incredible meeting with a dynamic member of the SBDC (Small Business Development Center) in Elkton Md. His name is Mike Garrity and what a wealth of information he was. We met for 2 hours and I learned so much about networking as well as what is available for small businesses. I encourage anyone that is looking to take their business to the next level to seek out the government help in their area and use it to their advantage.

Working from home takes faith
Many people make the decision to work from home. In an economy like this working from home is the best option for so many people. As people are laid off of work and have problem finding work the ability to make money from the comfort of your own home becomes something that is attractive to many. So how can anyone make it work for them.
Years ago working from home was something that had a stigma that went with it. Companies like Tupperware, Avon and Amway lead the market in the way to make money. I bet you can remember the home parties that you attended back then. Well as the saying goes you have come a long way baby. Today there are many ways to make money from home and the methods to do so have changed incredibly. The internet has truly changed the playing field. There are many that make full time incomes working part time hours leveraging their time and money with the use of the internet.
So where do you get started? How do you make the decision to start a home based business and what do I need to succeed? The first componenet you need in this endeavor is faith. By no means is working from home a get rich quick scheme. Now there are many that make money right out of the gate but that is not the norm. You need a good business plan to succeed. Even with a good business plan you need faith. You have to believe in yourself and be willing to do what needs to be done for everything to work its way out. It might take a few years but you can truly make a run at this if you have the faith.
Let me give you a real life example I am truly familiar with. It is our story. About 5 years ago when we started in our business we had immediate great success. In our first 7 weeks of business we made well over 10k. The success was incredible. Unfortunately with the onset of the recession we ran into some very hard times. The thing that got us through was our faith. We had faith in ourselves and took the obstacles as hurdles that we could learn from. What it taught me was how to deal with adversity and to teach others to do the same. If it had not been for my faith we would have never been able to make it. Now many of you might not be religious but we are and understand that with the help of God we can do anything. Call it what you like faith, postive thinking , or the secret but it works. For us our faith can and will get us through all that is put in front of us.

Safety Precautions While Traveling
There are many important features of vacation. It is not an option but a compulsory measure that has to be taken while traveling anywhere whether it is your own country or whether it is abroad.
To have an uninterrupted vacation you need to keep a count of the things you should be careful of. Especially children being sensitive you have to take extra care when it comes to children.
Some of the things you should be careful of is knowing what can causes allergic reactions, taking extra care if you have undergone any operation, making sure you carry your medicines as prescribed by your doctor.
Having a First Aid tool kit is a must have on a trip or a vacation, Some of the medications are prescribed skin creams, pills, bandages, wound cleansing lotion, lots of Cotton, carrying hot water bottle, carrying your own medicines that are prescribed by Doctor, if at all you get allergic to anything, you know what to do!
Now, a First Aid tool kit is not the only precaution that you need to take, wherever you go, you have to be very watchful and protective of your family, avoid places that are vulnerable and can make you a victim. Keep your valuables intact on you, so that you are not a victim of robbery. Make sure that you do carry something to protect yourself from maniacs. And one of the recommendations will be eye spray. Eye spray will not harm the person completely but at least make him or her aware that you can defend yourself.
When traveling with children, children get excited when going on vacation so make sure that they do not put themselves in vulnerable situations where it would be hard for them to come out of.
Avoid legal difficulties; you should follow the law no matter what. There are families who have gone on vacations and have broken the law of where ever they have been and had to pay a great deal for it. So make sure you follow the legalities of where ever you are.
Terrorism is spoken of nowadays, make sure that you stick to your own family and just be friends with those people in the vacation that you feel you are confident of.
Terrorism is spreading all over the world, so it does not mean that you can’t be safe in your country if you choose to go on a vacation at home. Be wise and you should have a very good judgment about recognizing people that you are around while vacationing. In all following some of these guidelines have the best vacation ever!

Cruising is a great getaway
Everyone loves a cruise. It's like a city on the water. Everything you could desire is included on the ship. Whether you are looking for a midnight buffet, dancing until the sun comes up or a night stroll by the moonlight a cruise has everything to offer. There are so many activities to enjoy on the ship as well as at every port of call. Once anyone goes on a cruise they are hooked and will be going for the rest of their lives. Now on average a 7 day cruise will cost you about $1000 - $1500 per person. In addition you will have to pay any applicable taxes and port charges. For many this cost can be a bit prohibitive. Well we have a solution for you.
THE COASTAL VACATIONS LIFETIME TRAVEL MEMBERSHIP PREMIER LEVEL
Our premier or level two membership has an incredible feature. With this membership you get an unlimited amount of day Carnival an Royal Caribbean cruises. The only charge you will have on these cruises are your port charges and taxes. That can be a saving of $2000 on each and every cruise you go on from now on. Let's put this in perspective. If you took a cruise every year for the next 10 years and we only consider the cruise charges ( not the port charges or taxes ) and no inflation in prices @ $1000 a person you cost would be $20000. Now by purchasing the Coastal Travel package @ $3995 plus $25 s/h ( for arguments sakes we will say $4000 ) by your third year you have made back the money you spent on your package and are saving from then on. In times like this when we are looking to save as much as we can but still looking to get away on vacation this is the best thing going.
Be sure to get all the details of the package by reading the Coastal Profile as well as looking at the product video on this site. After getting those details be sure to contact us asap so we can go over any questions and get your started.

For example, buy $50 worth of my product and get a travel voucher. Or buy a certain product and get a travel voucher. Charities are another great avenue in recessionary times. We have used the vacations in our package to raise thousands of various charities.
Another thing that happens when the economy is bad is that many are out of work or working jobs that pay less just to get by. Many are looking for way to make extra cash. Getting started with Coastal Vacations or any home based business becomes a viable option in those times.
