ARE YOU THE ENTREPRENEURIAL TYPE?

Do you have what it takes to start your own business and hopefully have a substantial nest egg when you eventually sell the business and retire?

According to Sarasota-based entrepreneur John Jude O’Callaghan, the best way to survive in hard times and high unemployment is to start your own small business.

“The vast majority of today’s millionaires are self-made,” he points out. “That means they were not born rich. Chances are every single one of them was a disgruntled employee at one time.

So, why don’t more people start a part-time home-business? As I see it, there are three main reasons…

1. Fear of failure. They are afraid to lose what little they have.

2. They are not aware that dozens of home-based businesses
can be started on a shoestring and with zero business experience.

3. Nobody ever gave them a tested and proven step-by-step plan.

That’s why I wrote, “How to Start-Up and Succeed in a Home-Based
Money-Making Business.”

It’s a comprehensive crash course for would-be entrepreneurs. It’s based on the experience I gained in starting seven small businesses of my own and on the interviews I did with over 500 successful business owners in a wide variety of trades and professions.

Success Formula” with instructions on how to implement all of the 13 steps. No cost. No obligation. All you have to do is send a blank e-mail. Put “Best Biz” and Your First Name as the Subject. Mail to: johnjudeocallaghan@verizon.net

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A clear-cut goal.
  • A strong desire to become financially independent.
  1. Step 1

    Set a monetary goal and a specific deadline.

  2. Step 2

    Decide on whether you want a service business or an Internet-based business.

  3. Step 3

    Start immediately. Don't wait for a sunny day or whatever. All your ducks will never be in a straight row. You can't do everything. But you can do something. And that something is start now on a part-time basis and learn by doing. Taking massive action now is the only way to change your whole life for the better.

Tips & Warnings
  • Play it safe by keeping your day job for now -- if you have one and don't leave until your part-time earnings equal your full-time wages.
