I am still working on my business which was started during the GFC back in 2008.

My business isn't important, but what is important is what you do over the next coming months.

During the GFC, I was a contract programmer and was let go in November. In Australia I figured nobody was going to hire in December, January is basically a write off, and could possibly find work in February.

Now I had 3 months up my sleeve. I could either lay down the foundations to my side project, or slack off, play video games, and watch videos all day.

So I worked hard on my side project which was making no money, and eventually it grew legs a year later when I was in a position to work on it full time, and have been ever since.

Now, what are you going to do with your current spare time? Nothing you do will make money instantly, but you could be planting those seeds, and maybe your tree might grow into something big.

Would you like to share with us what it is?
+1 on this, what did you make?
Why not share what you're actually working on? Seems like more "Inspirational Startup Quotes"
