Dana Point, CA (March 31, 2009)
As the economic nosedive was occuring, self-employed professionals didn't waste any time. They vigorously promoted their services, expanded their network of contacts, created more sources of income, and invested into new courses. See Business Survey here. Young saw the need for educating and supporting such professionals as they researched enterprises and start-up opportunities. She launched a comprehensive corporate website back in 1994, and included a business plan tutorial. The FTC, the Small Business Administration, and the Dept. of Commerce all report statistics about business success and failure rates. What is pointed out by these reports is how very little the public knows about why companies succeed, and why they fail. This site is dedicated to providing the most important information required by new start-up enterprises, and the soon-to-be self employed. "Unlike school, where training is measured at most in years, a career can be measured in decades. There is no equivalent to a college catalog listing required, recommended, and elective courses. Most people aren't assigned a mentor, the working world equivalent of a college advisor. Very few people have a mentor who will promote and package their work for them. That's where we can help. Sign Biz exists to provide aspiring entrepreneurs with knowledgeable business training, support and promotional opportunities for growing a business of their own," she adds.

During the mass layoffs in 2001-2002, thousands of corporate and factory workers were in panic and fear of losing their jobs. But this was nothing new to self-employed business owners. They were already used to income fluctuations. In fact, someone with a "regular" job may have had less income security than a successful self-employed professional. Entrepreneurs are better prepared for the recession, because they know what it takes to give their revenue a boost. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last week that the overall unemployment rate rose to 9.5 percent of the labor force in June, the highest since 1982, when the rate peaked at 10.8 percent. 
"The weak economy has left many Americans unemployed, and analysts say the amount of time needed to find a new job is growing. These challenges have created opportunities for some, as they are forced to look outside the normal channels for their future careers. In this search, if they stumble upon the sign industry, they have an "aha" moment," says Young.
