Innovation is the key to finding successful opportunities in a recession. While no one wants to build success on the misfortune of others, opportunities to improve a process, start a new trend or re-invent the wheel are everywhere. In fact, some of the most well known brands in the globe were founded during hard times. Read how these five determined business owners were able to turn instability into profitability and make themselves recession-proof:

Randal Pinkett, PhD, outlasted 17 other candidates to win NBC's acclaimed reality TV show The Apprentice. In addition, Pinkett owns BCT Partners, a multi-million dollar business that he started with several college friends while at Rutgers University. After graduating from Rutgers as a star athlete who also maintained a 3.9 grade point average, he went on to become a Rhodes Scholar and earn four more degrees, including a PhD. from MIT. Thanks to his academic savvy and his profitable campus-born business, Randal managed to graduate from college completely debt free -- a rare feat for most college students.

A very inspired article!

Randall does an excellent job on presenting and developing entrepreneurs nation-wide! He presents an online newsletter at his website. And produces some very good entrepreneur skills in his own online videos. Very Professional & inspired!

These five business entrepreneurs are very excellent and very detailed. And we will be reading more in their websites. A lot of new business owners and entrepreneurs forget about being true to themselves and how to focus to win their own prize. Most, need to understand how to prepare an online website presence, professional introductions and even a detailed online business plan.

Most just say "show me the money" and laugh at due-diligence. It's makes a huge difference in the end result by being diligent and true.

Nobody wants to believe in the importance of websites and it's professional profile & introductions. This article shows that important step! Congratulations to these great entrepreneurs and business owners!

We try to help entrepreneurs in many professional ways to improve their business plans and if good enough to even consider to raise start up capital.

A great article...

I was not sure if this showed up directly. I am working on something that would greatly spark your interest. I am not looking for money but I am looking for a partner who has the contacts.

What I hold could make anyone more money in a year then what you can make in a lifetime.

Randall, you are correct, when people are faced with awful times, they need to make the best out of them by attempting to make things better, for themselves, and everyone else, too. Starting a business during a recession is also a great starting point, face it, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are top performing businesses. Why not start out at low point, and then work, and build on the future, so that tough economic times don't seem so burdensome. Excellent point.
