Start a Business With Little or No Money- Part 5 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 can
    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:

Bookkeeping

    Are you good with numbers and organization? If you are, you
    may want to think about starting a book keeping business.
    This business is pretty easy to market since every type of
    person, and business may need someone to update their
    business books.

    The only thing you may need for this type of job is a program
    (if you are using a computer) and the necessary paperwork.
    If you have to supply the paperwork, you can charge
    additionally for this.

    You will want to advertise residually at local tax places or
    office stores. If you want to target businesses you may want
    to look into local business directories. If nothing else,
    you can put an ad in your local newspaper and go from there.

Home Organization

If you good are at organization, then you may want to
consider starting a business organization business.

    You may want to consider supplying the materials needed
    for organization such as boxes, labels, shelves, etc.
    If you provide the materials, then you will be able to
    charge for it. You may also require your clients to buy
    the materials themselves. Whatever you decide will work.

Home organization is best advertised at home stores and
in your local paper.

Language Translation

    You will help break through barriers caused by language
    difference and improved communication. Businesses will call
    you when they know they will be dealing with clientele that
    speak a different language, typically in advance.
    Every once and awhile, you may be called in an emergency
    situation. The pay depends on the amount of people you will
    have to translate for, and if you are notified ahead of
    time or not.

    If English is your second language, or you just have a liking
    for foreign languages, you services will come in handy for
    local businesses that deal with multi-cultures.

    If you do not know a foreign language, but you are still
    interested in language translation as a career or business,
    then translation books and programs number in the thousands,
    even for the newest user. It just takes a little time and
    energy to learn a new language.

Contact local business, doctor’s offices, and government
agencies and ask if they are in need of translation services.
