How to Start a Business without Money
There’s a great post over The Lazy Way to Success about how to start a business without money. Fred Gratzon shows you that all you need is not money, but is your knowledge and passion on the business. He have bootstrapped two businesses from no business experience and knowledge on the field, to being successful on the business and expert on the field:
… When I started my first business, which was an ice cream company, I had no money, I had no business experience, and I had absolutely no idea how to make ice cream. Five years later, my ice cream was judged to be the best in America by People Magazine. (See April and May 2005 archives of this blog for the whole delicious story.)
What drove the growth of my business was the growth of my knowledge of ice cream. And what drove the growth of my knowledge of ice cream was my love for the stuff.
When you start a business, what must lead the way should be your own interest in or love for whatever it is you want to do. Loving what you do miraculously attracts all the necessary resources, people and opportunities. You definitely don’t need money to start. Bootstrapping will stimulate your creativity and that is worth much more than money anyway…

I work with people on getting them into businesses with little to no money. I have coached several people on this and I believe I can help anyone from anywhere. Some people have heard of the groups I designed to help people out of poverty and low income, dead end jobs…Its called The Network, people just like all of you, willing to put a little time in to succeed. Contact me at usdslink@gmail.com if you want to succeed. You could be making 5k by the end of the week.

Some of you may be interested in starting a cleaning business. I ran my own for over 10 years. Now I am an Internet entreprenuer and it was the freedom and high pay of the cleaning business that allowed me to cultivate my other ventures. If you have any questions, you can email on our contact form at-

Hi. I bake great yeast bread. It was usually for just the hoildays but my family and a few friends actually pay me to make them some all year round. I stuff it with all kinds of fillings from savory and sweet. Baking is my passion. I want to start a small bakery but I lack the funds. Any help to get me started would be highly appreciated. Please contact me at midwestlady15@aol.com. Thanks.
