Las Vegas is a great example of how the masses make a difference. Las Vegas is not simply frequented only by the elite of society, it is mostly visited by the common person (even us Calgary mortgage brokers [http://www.mortgagebrokercalgary.info] ). And therefore, it stands to reason, that the masses are hugely influential - to prove my point consider this: if only the rich went to Las Vegas (there would be no Vegas). There would just not be enough currency circulating around to keep it alive. With that being said - you and I are members of the most influential and powerful group in the world - the "status quo".
With that being established - instead of fueling Vegas - you and I should be investing. Now is the time to do it (while the economy and prices are down). Now - don't get scared off by the word "investing" - in many cases "investing" can be free.
I know - that sounds like an oxymoron but "investing" in its purest form is when you invest your own time to expand your skill-set. So, take a free online e-course - start learning. Broaden the services that you can provide for your community. Start a small company, send out flyers. This is the best way to get the economy (and most notably, your bank account) moving upward.

BUT – don’t go out and start spending money on machinery and advertizing just yet. Here is the order that you need to go through in order to determine your market:
1) Think of a skill, service or product that you have that may have some demand ie. I could offer " calgary mortgage brokers [http://www.mortgagebrokercalgary.info] advice".
2) Do a cheap advertising campaign to test your target audience’s appetite ie. Go on facebook.com/ads and spend $5 and see if your product/service gets any clicks.
3) Confirm orders from clients (or start from square one and try a different product or service).
4) Develop and deliver your product or service.
