As Canadian Exports Fall 22 Percent One Entrepreneur Expands

Rigaud, Canada, May 17, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Montreal Gazette recently reported Canada’s national exports are expected to fall 22 percent in 2009 as the global economic recession tightens its grip. Tell that to Pedro Lourenco who runs a technology products and home services business and is seeing exponential growth.

Lourenco is the owner of MonacoIG, based in Rigaud. He said he began his entrepreneur journey as a way to secure his financial independence and be his own boss.

“Running my own company has been a great experience and I feel very secure despite all the bad news I keep reading,” Lourenco said. “Sales are up and I’ve been able to grow my business much faster than I would have imagined possible.”

Lourenco is part of a growing number of entrepreneurs who are turning to less traditional job opportunities. He works from home and offers high end products like digital phone service and video phones, home security and also wireless services. Lourenco also serves as an independent representative of the larger franchise company and works to help other people form their own home business.

“I’ve been very fortunate to be shielded from this economic downturn,” Lourenco said. “I read in the paper about how Canada’s economy keeps contracting, and yet my business keeps growing. Anyone who is struggling to make ends meet should consider going into business for themselves.”
