POTSDAM -- Peak Moment TV airs on WCKN-TV on March 2 and March 3 at 7 p.m. with host Janaia Donaldson who takes a look at how you can contribute your skills towards meeting real needs now and in the future.

Her guests, Paul and Sarah Edwards, are the authors of Home-Based Business for Dummies, focus on the “Elm Street Economy” of locally-owned businesses rather than on “Main Street,” about which we hear so much but is comprised mainly of franchises. In the Elm Street Economy, local businesses meet local needs — for food, shelter, clothing, heating, electricity, healthcare, and other products.

The Edwards suggest: Keep your job and pay off your debts, while gaining enduring skills for the future. A number of today’s professions won’t be around in five years. Read more on line at www.elmstreeteconomy.com and www.letslivelocal.org.
