Myth - I need a steady income to support my family,
therefore
I
cannot start my own business.
Fact - False... and this is
probably the biggest myth which
prevents people from taking their life back. Who says
you
have to quit your full-time job which provides your
salary
and benefits in order to start a business? You can
start a
business while still working full-time with very little
monetary and time investments. As the business grows
and you
are able to establish a viable source of income
you can
then make the decision to take it to the next
level.

Myth - Starting a business
is hard to do.

sell
products and/or services? There are thousands of
different business segments out there and sure, some are
harder
then others.

by letting you know
the
options which are available to you and to show you
how
everyday people with little to no experience are

Myth - Starting a business
is expensive.
Fact - False.
Why start so large that it puts you at a huge
financial disadvantage? Start small, then grow into
your business, do not start too large. There are many
businesses which can be started with a very small
investment.
Myth - Most businesses fail
within two (2) years.
Fact - Most businesses do
not fail. It is the owners who do not
succeed
for one reason or another. Different businesses
have
different statistics. Some industries have high
success
rates while others are more challenging. The
bottom
line is that most businesses fail because the
owners
are unprepared. The biggest cause of lack of
success? Underestimating the time you need to commit
to your
business. We can help you by citing real world
experiences to point you in the right direction.
Myth - Starting a business
during a recession or down market
is a recipe for failure.
Fact - While it is
true that during a recession less people are
spending money, you have to realize that a recession
also
represents unprecedented opportunity. Yes, many
businesses close during these times. However, that
means
there is a plethora of businesses ripe for the
plucking. You can purchase businesses, some turnkey,
for
pennies on the dollar. Landlords are much more
willing
to negotiate lease rates. There are many of other
reasons
as well. The key is to identify these opportunities,
then
act on them.
Starting a business at home is also extremely popular.
