How to build business without much money


Yes!!! We can do business without big asset for the start.
Just be creative and you find the way.

This is few of them:

# Become a broker or an agent

Broker job is to sell something to a customer. It’s just like a sales man, but with more advantages. First, you can decide how hard and how long you want to work. Just like a businessman. You set your own goals. Make your own relationship and ways to do business.
Another advantage is usually you will be given a proven system, mentors, trainings and tools to make your success faster and easier. This will greatly reduce your risk; moreover we are beginner in this field. In some field, you even have an office that you can use, with free phone calls. ^_^

You can be a real estate broker, an insurance agent, a car salesman, a free lance marketing agent, or you can joint an MLM company.




One of my friends told me a story how his client went from zero to a millionaire (in Rupiah) in a year. He said, that his client told by an owner of national company that he need shipping for his commodity. So he arranged with another national shipping company to do that. He make an arrangement that particular order must through his company (he made the company after the deal was settle, and with borrowed money from his friend too). He will get 10% from the shipping cost. The value is 10 million rupiah, for one year contract.
Hmm… Nice.



# Build your business plan and find Investor

This sound obvious but true…
If you can come up with a good idea and a great plan, you might be just one more step to become a millionaire.
Of course, you have to give time, effort, and skill to make your business work. Credibility and past performance will be count here.
You can offer 30 – 70 split of profits... Not bad for non-cash business (at least from your part).
You also can ask your parents, sibling, relatives, or friends to help you with start-up capital. But be careful. You can hurt your relationship with them if something bad happen in your business.


# Work in some company first
Learn the knowledge and the skills. Find useful contacts, and save some money. Then when you ready, you can ask your boss to open a branch office with you as the leader and a share of profit or stock-option employee program.
If your boss doesn’t like it, you can build your own company. Or even better, you can be a supplier to your ex-company (your boss should like this idea better).

There are literally hundred of ways to build your own business.
Like the wise man said: “When there is a WILL, there is a Way.”

Good luck.
God bless you…
