Do you know the feeling of being broke? Have you ever been, or are you now, in a position where you couldn't even take the family to a movie if you wanted to? I've been there.
If you are too, you probably know that it's time for a change.
So you've seen the ads and looked at some business presentations, and you've decided that the only true way out is to own your own Florida home based internet business.
The only problem is you need investment capital if you are going to OWN the business.
What do you do about that paradox? You're broke, so you need to start a business, but you can't because you're broke.
It seems like another of life's cruel jokes, doesn't it.
Have no fear.
There are ways.
Before you implement any plan, you first need to decide what type of business you want to start.
This will allow you to determine how much cash you need to raise.
As a general rule of thumb, you should be prepared to spend about $400 to get fully up and running.
This money should cover the fees to the parent company for the rights to market their products as yours and all the internet start-up issues (domain registration, hosting, email systems, etc).
As with any business, there will be ongoing expenses.
However, as soon as you get started, visit your local tax advisor.
He can adjust your tax withholdings with your employer now that you own a business.
The result is your business will cause your net pay at work to go up...
often by as much as $300 per month.
This will be more than enough to cover your monthly expenses.
Because of that, the only item we need to address is the $400 start-up.
You should be able to find a good amount in your current budget.
Sit down and look for areas in your budget where you can cut back, even if only a few dollars.
Take that money and set it aside to start your business.
After that first step is complete, you should look into various retail programs that will allow you to save money on items you already buy.
Do a search online-there are many programs out there.
As before, take the money saved and apply it to your business start up.
The average family will often come up with an extra $200 per month doing those things alone.
If that is you, and you do nothing else, you're in business in 2 months.
In fact, that is more than enough for you to SAFELY put your start up cost on a credit card.
Of course, this does assume you will use the $200 per month to pay down the card.
Another idea to consider is asking one or more persons you know to help you as an investor.
You could make an agreement that if they invest $100, you will give them the first $200 of your profit.
This is a good deal for all parties as the investor is looking at a very high return, and you don't have to pay until you are making money.
Ask yourself this question, if your child was sick and going to die unless they had a certain medication, and that drug cost $400, would you pay it? I think the answer is yes.
Next question, how would you pay it? I use that example simply to illustrate that there are ways to raise the funds to start your business.
In many ways, it is more of a decision than anything else.
If you are at the end of your rope financially, you need to get a home based internet business started ASAP.
The investment risk is nothing compared to the risk of doing nothing.
Whatever you do, take action TODAY.
