Start a Business With Little or No Money- Part 2 of 6

    As we discussed in part one, having a great work history and
    ethic does not guarantee that you will retain your job.
    There are many culprits to blame, such as changing economic
    times, technology replacing humans works, and outsourcing
    work to foreign companies.
    The only real way that you ca retain your job is not put
    yourself in the position to be fired. This may seem
    impossible, but is really quite simple.
    You have to become your own boss.

    Perhaps you are not worried about loosing your job,
    but you realize that you will never have the chance
    to advance any further in the company you are working
    for. Your monetary resources are capped out, and you
    will not be able to provide any better of a lifestyle
    for you and your family unless your pay increases.
    Again, the only way you will be in total control of your
    finances is to become your own boss.

    The only way to be the boss is to start your own business.
    “But I do not have very much money, if any at all.” you say.
    Well in today’s culture there are quite a few businesses
    that can be started for little or no money at all.
    This is not a get rich quick scheme, I am not saying that
    you will be making five grand a month from the very beginning,
    but I am telling you, that no matter the amount of money
    that you have, you should still be able to start a business
    without much fuss.

Here are some more examples of businesses that require little
or no money up front:

Babysitting

    This one seems obviously, though many people take it for
    granted and quickly dismiss it as a “teenage job.”
    Babysitting may be one of the better options, since does
    not require any money to start.

    You can baby-sit in your home or the home of the children
    in which you are babysitting. The choice is really up to
    you. If you are thinking of babysitting children from more
    then one family, then you will be required to baby-sit in
    your home, otherwise on location babysitting will suit you well.

Some babysitters offer to provide meals, while other require
the parent to supply a lunch. It is really up to you.

    You will want to provide some type of stimulation for the
    children you baby-sit. The last thing any responsible parents
    wants is their babysitter to allow their children to sit in
    front of the television the whole time they are with you.
    Try to make whatever you do as active and education as possible.

    When you begin advertising your business, you will want to
    focus on places where parents and children would be.
    Many schools have community boards that would be able to
    place flyers. You may also considering placing an ad in the
    local paper or on a website that allows parents to search
    for potential babysitters.

Pet Sitting or Walking

    Like babysitting, this can be greatly overlooked.
    People take great pride in their pets, and do not want
    them to be left alone while they are away.

    Some pet sitters only sit when the client is away for
    long periods of time, or no vacation.
    Others pet sit on a daily basis while their client is
    at work. Still others only have to visit the pet once
    or twice during the day to walk them and let the our
    to use the bathroom.

    It is important to remember that even the nicest pet
    can become upset and mean in the presence of other animals.
    Make sure that if you decide to take on more then one
    families pets that the all the families involved know,
    and their pets get along.

    Advertise this business at your local pet store, vet,
    or along a dog walking path. You may also want to consider
    placing an ad in the local paper as well.
