No Start-up Costs
The other day, I received an email from a gentleman responding to one of my business advertisements who said something like this:
“O.K., cut the B.S. Just let me know how to make a decent living in my own business without having to pay any up front fees.”
After a brief period of uncontrollable laughter, I proceeded to reply to his message. I told him that with all my research and experience in home-based-business, I have yet to find a single method of creating any serious income that requires absolutely no financial. I wished him well in his pursuit, but believe that what he is looking for does not exist.
A home-based-business is about the closest I have found to “no up front fees” but it is still a business. It is inconceivable to consider that a business would require no investment.
Consider starting a franchise business. Many of those tout the benefits of six-figure incomes, but require investments of sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you inquire of someone who has a franchise business, you will find that it also requires a time commitment that surpasses that of most jobs.
Consider starting your own store, restaurant, or other “brick and mortar” business. Again, it requires a huge financial burden to begin with. Again, it requires a massive time commitment. In this case, however, there is no assurance of ever reaping any financial reward. Instead, you will have a high probability of business failure.
Now, consider a home based internet marketing business. It requires a relatively minimal up front financial investment. It requires a commitment of time, but a typical success story will contend that the time is much less than that of an ordinary job or traditional business. In the end, though, it must be taken seriously, it must be treated as a business, and to become a success story, investment of time and money is essential. If you invest wisely and add consistent time and effort, you will achieve results. The degree of your results will be determined by what you invest in your business. Be honest with yourself, be professional, and treat it like a business.
