3. There are new markets just begging for strong DM copywriters. There are plenty of industries that have been depending on direct response for decades: finance, health, magazines, cable TV, collectibles and more. These guys are always on look out for new writers. AND, there's one new industry that is literally starved of good direct response writers...the high tech industry, particularly in B2B area. If you have an interest in high tech, here's a niche that will drive you to that 6-figure income very, very quickly.

If you already have strong direct response copywriting skills, be sure to do some research in high-tech area.

If you want to get into direct mail copywriting, but don't know where to get best training, I would strongly recommend you check out my review of Michael Masterson's Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting. You'll find it here: http://www.freelancewritingsuccess.com/michael-masterson.php

With defeat, sometimes knowledge is attained, and if a business owner can work through stages of grief successfully, and use knowledge attained for enlightenment, then perhaps they can successfully start another business in future, and achieve better results.

Business owners should make a list after they are on their feet again of exactly "what" went wrong, and methods of prevention in future, as they can then use this to their advantages. The list can include such information such as:

1. Why business failed overall: Was it wrong type of business for wrong type of clientele? Was it targeted incorrectly? Was it too unusual to succeed? Was marketing of business incorrect? Were expenditures too great? Was business plan and outlook faulty or realistic?

2. What mistakes led up to failure: Did business grow too quickly or too slowly? Were there actual methods in place for prevention, or was business "reactive" rather than "proactive"?

3. What can business owner correct/rectify in future? This is most important question, and a list of all methods that may be used as a measure against future failures should be made.

Business owners need to give themselves time to heal and sort through their feelings, though. Any loss is so emotionally draining, that jumping right back into "business fire" with another business is not necessarily a good idea until business owner has recovered their energy and worked through their feelings of grief completely.

Defeat can be a learning experience, and many successful business people have also experienced their fair share of defeats and loss of businesses. Turning "negative" of loss of business into a "positive" learning experience will soon find business owner recovered and moving onto next positive step in their entrepreneurial lives!
