Recession? What Recession? More like Regression.

With the current state of the economy, our state of mind might determine how well we weather this storm. CNN is reporting that entrepreneurs may come out ahead in a recession because they have a tendency to regress.


Dean Kamen, the man who invented the Segway scooter says:


"It's not nearly as glamorous as people think to keep working on something and to keep hitting roadblocks and to keep going," he said.


A Harvard Business School professor added:


"Entrepreneurs tend to have a singular weakness that allows them to do things without checking their conscience. Juvenile delinquents act and then try to sort things out afterward. I think entrepreneurs have this tendency."

That's the kind of tendency that just might make you successful in the middle of a recession. So, it's not too late to think like a child. Want to know if you can make it as an entrepreneur? Take this quiz.

Whatever the results, remember what Rush Limbaugh told Barbara Walters recently about the recession: "I choose not to participate."
