With the highly possible increase in downsizing trends, more and more people are made redundant.

The next logical step for those people are: looking for another job and starting a business.

The former is more desirable for those who place income security high in their list, but the latter is more desirable for those who are being fed up with all the corporate politics and seemingly unfair downsizing.

Whatever step you want to choose, I recommend you to consider the latter for two reasons:

1. Throughout the history of small business, being downsized is one of the most successful life changing experience in born new, thriving, entrepreneurs.
2. Getting back into the workforce with the standard you had before is not as easy as you think - businesses cut costs, and one of the area that are being heavily cut is payroll - bottom line, businesses want more for less these days.

Without further adieu, the following is the top 10 small business ideas for 2009 that might entice you to plunge into entrepreneurship:

1. Do-It-Yourself business
Most of the case, DIY reduce costs. If you can provide products and services that allow people to DIY something, such as creating your own home cleaning products, you are on a roll.
2. Energy saving business
This idea is definitely hot in the past few years, and in 2009 the emphasis on energy cost-cutting regimes will push any energy saving businesses even further. Producing or distributing LED lightings will be the right business this year.
3. Online business
Ah, my favourite small business idea. The wonder of the Internet is this: For as low as $50 (a domain name + web hosting fee) or even for free, you can start a lucrative online business and shoot for a chance to create a six figure business before this 2009 ends! Of course, one key factor: your competitiveness in a low-cost, high-competition market.

4. Baby boomer-related business
The highlight of the year: Baby boomers are retiring from the workforce, creating a mega-problem to the economy - thanks to the flawed MediCare, Social Security and retirement funds. Creating a business that act as a safety-net for those baby boomers will boom your business sky-high. One example of such business is entrepreneurship training business for baby boomers.
5. Cheap and/or recycled product business
“Turning trash into cash” type of business is very, very lucrative this year. With the increase in material and production costs, making use of ‘useless’ materials and create something out of them will proved to be a thriving business. One example: Creating Converse-like canvass shoes out of wastes - the scrapbooking style.
6. Home based business
The best cost-cutting innovation of all - work from your home! With the ever-presence of the Internet, working at home
7. Charity and philantropy
Giving as a business? Never - However, you can be a business that match recipients and givers, such as the web-based Kiva.com that match small business borrowers with lenders.
8. Outsourcing
There is a better solution in your cost cutting campaign - outsourcing. Outsourcing main benefit is leaning your company so you are more nimble and resposive to changes. The key in outsourcing is finding the right companies to outsource to. The business idea: outsourcing company that manage service buyers needs.
9. Mobile business
No longer a trend for road warriors out there, but a growing trend for new entrepreneurs who envision themselves as location independent business owners. Again, the Internet plays a major role in mobile business, as well as the more powerful and cutting-edge mobile technologies and gadgets. Your iPhone and MacBook Air will enable you to run your business wherever you are.
10. Bootstrapping and cost-cutting consultancy business
As every business owner aim to be leaner and more responsive, bootstrapping and cost-cutting consultants will have their moments this year - roles, such as energy consultants, Internet startup consultants, and similar others will enjoy substantial growth this year.

If you have an interest to start a small business, more than likely you have begun your research to see what's available for you out there. Some of the opportunities can be pretty inviting when you first look at them. Just remember that if what they offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.

You ask yourself, how to start your own business? I suggest you research the top industry trends. What are people buying? What products are in high demand? First decide what you need to make, and then determine whether or not you can achieve it with the company. Don't get started with any company until you have done proper research.

Don't make your decision to start a small business on the spot. If you plan to take your new business seriously, take the time to seriously consider your best option. Where do you stand to make the greatest income? Which company has the best growth potential?

Starting any new business will take a lot of time, energy, determination and hard work if you plan to be successful. Although it won't be an easy year for any entrepreneur, considering the current economic slump we are in, if you're motivated, a self starter, and willing to do whatever it takes, you can succeed in the right business. And that is why it is important to first do your research and find the right business.

Find the business that focuses on the biggest mega trends of the millennium. Begin offering life changing products that are in great demand. Give people what they want, and learn the best way to do this through strong company leadership. This is what it takes to become successful when starting a small business.

You can find business ideas almost anywhere. But after careful research you will find that a true business opportunity may only come along once in your lifetime. Don't miss out on your chance to find true happiness and financial freedom. for more tips send mail to ideasdaily@gmail.com

In this contemporary world, people believe that coming up with a laudable brand is a daunting task, they settled for the less. The world has become so sophisticated that virtually nothing is new anymore. However, there are and there will be more outstanding brands.

The eye-opener for potential brands is always around you. Consumers can provide ideas for brand improvement and even occasionally identify new product opportunities in the market place. Beside, the methods that bring about new brands are always around you. The act of getting new ideas for new brands is an act of searching for problems to be solved. When a problem is found, then the solution comes behind the problem. Solution to a problem is a value for value system. When you have the mind of solving a problem, then laudable brands are coming your way.

Any idea you are generating must be offering solution to a particular problem. If the solution is not meeting or solving a particular problem, then, it must be retooled, however finding the gap to be filled seems to be a great task.

For great ideas to be generated, there are methods below that entrepreneurs must look for. These methods are gaps that must be studied and filled. By so doing, you are adding to value and the value you created will be exchanged for value (money);

1. Limitations of what is currently available: one of the easiest ways to get idea to be branded is by providing resources, services that are currently limited. In a professional conference program held somewhere in Lagos, the facilitators did not provide a cafeteria for the participants. Whereas, the conference lasted for two weeks, one archaic cook emerged around, unbranded, not well packaged, conference participants would have to queue before they could buy their meals. Participants were tied and preferred to wait till they are through for the day. Abruptly another cook emerged, set round plastic tables with three plastic chairs around each plastic table. She kitted her waiter and tagged her cafeteria splendid experience. The cafeteria was truly splendid, organized and appealing. Imagine what happened, participants switched heavily to splendid experience.

2. Unfilled Niches: It takes a creative mind to identify an unfilled niche. Every environment has some unsolved problems that are begging for attention, people go through tight and thin daily so as to get their problem solved. In every majority there are minorities that will see situation from different perspective. You can carve a niche within that minority and dominate the niche you carved. It is always good to come up with a new category. For you to identify unfilled niches, do a little research, go from door-to-door, ask for their problem and see a way of solving those problems.

3. New and Different Approaches: This is the most common method of getting ideas for new brands. It is also called doing-it-better approach. It seldom produces new categories. It builds on what is already existing and making it better. This approach is what employees fall back on when they resigned to become entrepreneurs.

4. Trends and Changes: This is a long term approach of creating new ideas for new brands. It is a strategy of studying trends and changes of a particular system in a particular period, so as to know how it will operate in the near future. Trends and changes approach is often used by business moguls to amass wealth. In this approach, the outcome of the trend studied may be irrational but it is worthwhile. This is the reason, so many believe this is the best time to romance the stock market, because most stocks are at their nominal value that is, all stocks never go below its present value instead it will be appreciating.

5. Advances and Breakthroughs: this a rear approach of getting new ideas for new brands, although getting an idea through this method could fetch you life time riches. Getting idea for new brand through this method demands patience and extraordinary faith in God. It also demands continuous trial; you keep digging the same spot until you will suddenly breakthrough. It is a lonely path to greatness, because virtually all may not see and believe in what you are digging.

Following one of the above methods keenly will guard you to building a great idea. Perhaps you have generated a great idea as a result of studying the method, then planning follows. Design a business plan for the idea you have generated, write out a lucid vision, mission and core value to be attached to the idea. For that will keep the idea growing.

Evaluate the idea, so as to know your competition, your prospective customers, your barriers, product, how profitable the idea will be and the location to start from. The evaluation of the idea will help defining the techniques to be used to branding the idea.

Consult a brand Management Consultant to guard you in positioning the brand. Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business, large or small, retail or business-to-business. For an effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in increasingly competitive markets.

A Brand Management Consultant will help you get a great logo for your brand, write down your brand message, integrate your brand, create a "voice" for you that reflect your brand, develop a tag line, make you true to your brand, design templates and create brand standard techniques for your marketing materials.

Idea grows in the head, makes the eyes of the carrier blinks with smile; however the idea will rule the world when it is written on a surface, applied and promoted within a targeted market. The easy task on earth is ideas generation, but the most daunting task on earth is the application of an idea. Close your eyes to see how far your mind can travel; open your eyes to see where you are, then you know how powerful your head is. Idea grows in the head.

Why do people choose to start a home based business? There are probably as many answers to that question as there are people to answer it. Though there is no way to sum up every reason anyone has ever had for operating a home business, it is possible to look at some of the most common reasons that people have for doing so, and knowing the most common reasons why people like home based businesses could very well help you decide if a home based business is right for you.

1. You Get To Go To Work In Your Pajamas

This is conceivably the most popular reason for anyone wanting to work at home. It's not so much that you simply get to wear that ratty t-shirt and your flannel pants at "the office," but the real perk is the convenience of rolling out of bed, taking your bowl of cereal with you to the computer, and just getting to work without any concern for what you look like, freeway traffic, impressing the boss or getting up on time. In that regard, working from home is so much easier.

2. You Get To Be With Your Family

When you're at an office downtown, you can't stop to kiss your wife or take a break to play catch with the kids. When you're the owner of an Adventures in Advertising franchise, your client's advertising needs do not generally need to be taken care of immediately. You can spend time with your family, your favorite pet and so much more, because you're in the home office, only 20 feet away from the people you love the most. That proves to be a big help on those days when your son is home sick, your daughter needs to be picked up from ballet, the dog just came in covered in mud, and your spouse just can't manage without your help.

3. You Get To Choose Your Own Hours

Getting up at 6am to be at work at 8am is not for everyone, though most people manage to suffer through it when it's required of them. When you work from home, however, you have the freedom to work when you work best. However, there are still restrictions to that rule, even in home business. For instance, as owner of a DVDNow automated rental machine business, you cannot just wake up at midnight and expect to access the machines you've placed in grocery stores and malls around town, because those businesses are closed. Yet you do have the freedom to sleep into the afternoon and still be able to do your work, if it suits you and suits whatever business you own.

4. You Don't Have To Start From Scratch

This has far more to do with the fact that these businesses are franchises and less to do with the fact that they're operated from home. The benefit of buying a Human Resource Rx franchise is that instead of having to figure out how to open and operate a business-to-business human resources establishment, form a client base of local small businesses, build your business name, and profit entirely on your own power, everything is planned out for you, before you even make the purchase. In some ways it's like the difference between painting a Van Gogh freehand and a Van Gogh paint-by-numbers.

5. You Get Ongoing Support

Not only does the WSI Internet franchisee not have to start his business by himself, but every franchise business for sale comes with the continued support of the franchisor, who works diligently to ensure that the franchisee has everything he needs to continue working in a way that profits him and honors the business' name. The purpose of both the central company and the franchisee is to ensure that the business is providing clients with the best internet marketing help they can get.

6. You Get To Pick Your Own Clients

Let's face it, not all people work as well together as others; some clients just aren't going to be good matches for you and your particular services, and that's fine. When you work for someone else, that someone has the power to decide who your clients will be, but what working for yourself provides you with is the freedom to decide who you want to take on as a client: who will work well with you and who won't. There are few business opportunities outside of home business that give that degree of liberty, and franchise owners recognize that.

7. Work Only As Often As You Like

Many franchises afford you the autonomy to determine your own workload, because franchisors realize that for varying reasons, not every franchisee is interested in making the same time commitment to their new business. TVME Inc, for example, is a business that sells computerized media centers to entertainment and food establishments, and while the franchisee is responsible for making sales, he is completely free to make as many or as few as he wishes. So depending on what the business owner's other responsibilities and sources of income are, he can set his home based business workload to fit around those.

The reasons to start a work at home business are abundant, but what it comes down to for most people is the chance to be free of the 9-5 grind and everything that it entails. Whether your real love is work, play, family, friends, or free time, working from home on your own terms can help you better dedicate yourself to that end without suffering financially.
