Have a $100? Start a Business!
Even though many of us have been set back financially, even though many of us have lost jobs do to global competition, even though the deck can seem rigged, we still live in America. It's a free country. We can engage in commerce and start a business on a shoestring. We can harness the same Internet that globalized the world economy and use it to provide for ourselves and our families. It's really NOT that complicated. It's simply a matter of finding the intersection of our passions and what customers are willing to buy.
If you'd like a manual, a how to guide, to help you think about starting a shoestring business as a side job or main source of income, you have to check out Chris Gillebeau's book, The $100 Startup. It has great advice and success stories that will help get you started. You can read a complete review of the book here:
