You dont really need a whole lot of money to start a business if your business is a service business rather than one in which you need to carry inventory but you'll need SOME money for a business license, taxes, and advertising. The business you decide on should be one which uses your time, talents and equipment or supplies to fill the needs for your customers. Please stay clear of the many things you'll be reading about online surveys and that kind of thing. You probably already know that businesses cannot stay afloat paying huge incentives to people for nothing. Now is a great time for you to sit down with a notebook, napkin or whatever to write out your financial and personal goals. You've got to brainstorm ways to reduce expenses and increase income and that won't be pretty but will be effective. It shouldn't matter if you babysit or clean toilets or start off working part-time at a local drug store, you've got to do something. Now is the time to replace poor financial decisions with wise ones. Reading answers and options won't do you a darn bit of good if you don't take action so it is important to DO something to turn your situation around or nothing will change today, tomorrow or in another seven months. Come on... find a need and fill it. Believe in yourself and your customers will believe in you. There's a light at the end of the tunnel and this time, it's not a train. Stay away from loans, credit and empty promises. After you take a deep breath, start your journey. Ready? Set? GO!!!
