Is The Recession Hurting Your Pocket Book?

Make Money With No Money is a challenge I posted on Morning Java, December 14, 2008 when the economy took a nosedive for the worst. People I knew and people I did not know where losing their jobs and homes. One of my passions is to help people that want help, and that is why I created the challenge.

My generation has never lived through a recession this deep, we only heard and read about deeper recessions like the great depression of 1930's, and too young to understand the recession of the 1980's. Even though we are in a deep, bad, recession, there still is opportunities available for individuals to make a living, but it requires a different mindset.

The goal for Make Money With No Money was to draw from your natural talent and passion to create a new life. In the blog post I explain a technique anybody can use to find his or her natural talent and passion. After you learn what your natural talent and passion is, I recommend you turn to technology and leverage all that is available to you at the click of a mouse.

Today marks one month since I posted the challenge December 14th. I'm sure many of you will not be surprised to learn that I accepted the challenge myself and created a new company. As of today I have 3 clients and growing, which I provide specialized services to. What I do for these companies is something I love and have a passion for - And it has nothing to do with life coaching either.  

As of today the company is generating four digit monthly revenue, by the end of the month the company will see monthly revenue climb and exceed five digits. The total outlay to start the company was only $9.95, and that was to buy a domain name. I did spend another $75.00 for template website that is not operational as of yet. I work with a team of five, including one commission based sales person.

I am more than happy to share my success and secrets with anybody who sends me an email requesting help. 

Happy Hump Day!

Free Money To Start A Business Today!

Make money with no money and earn money to start a business today!

Welcome back to Morning Java with your host, Master Life Coach and Mentor Bruno LoGreco. Thank you for dropping by! The focus for Morning Java over the next couple of weeks and into January will be to show people how to start a business with NO MONEY. If you are interested, I created a challenge where you could earn free money to start a business. Read all about it at: Start A Business With No Money Today!

The purpose of The Challenge is to illustrate how to start a business with no money or for a total investment of $100. Over the next few weeks, I will demonstrate how just about anybody can start a business with no money.

MY NEW BUSINESS IDEA

Earlier this week I started a new business for a total investment of $9.95 – The cost of a new domain name. I also created a list of people I knew, people they know, and what they do. I contacted a few people on my list that I thought might be interested in a contract, part-time sales position. I also asked if they knew anybody that is looking for part-time contract work. By Tuesday morning I had found a new sales person willing to work part-time and for commission. What a BONUS!

In order for my new business to gain exposure I require a website. Websites fetch for thousands of dollars depending on how many bells and whistles you would like for your website. I simply cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars for a new website anytime soon, especially with no revenue. However, when you know your skills and what you’re good at you can trade for services. I contacted a Web Design company and did exactly that - I bartered for services. In a few weeks I will have a brand new website for my new business. 

Last week live on CFRB, Jim asked if barter was enough to start a business. The answer: YES. If you have skills and are willing to trade for services you could start-up a business in no time with NO MONEY.

Free Money To Start A Business Today!

Make Money With No Money

Imagine if someone gave you free money to start a business. No strings attached, free money to start your own business, online or offline, to do something you love to do. Would you take the free money?

But before I tell you how you can earn free money to start a business, I want to share my experience with a Graphologist that I met at a trade show, Saturday.

“I could tell you about your personality.” “Excuse me!” I said, as I turned my head and followed the voice toward a lady seated at a small table directly beside me. “I’m a Graphologist! I could read your signature and tell you about your personality”, she said again.

I looked down and read the advert sitting on her table: Ellie George – Handwriting Analyst – Has Read 50,000 Signatures Over Twenty Years.

“Absolutely!” I said. “I’m in! Where do I sign?" . Ellie directed her attention to the pen and paper on the table and asked if I could print and sign my name. The first attempt at signing my name didn't feel right, so I crumpled the piece of paper and tried again. “That’s better”, I muttered as I hand Ellie the piece of paper. “Give me ten minutes and I’ll give you your analysis”, Ellie said.

Ten minutes later Ellie’s head pops up from her table and she stands up. Ellie extends her arm toward me and in her hand was an envelope. I took the envelope from her hand, removed the letter and began reading what she wrote:

• Your “idealistic” with many goals & plans & dreams… Ambitious
  
• You thrive in a busy atmosphere with lots of challenges
  
• You’ve got strong tastes in food, clothing & friends
  
• You either like it or you don’t
  
• You like to run your own show and call the shots “entrepreneur”
  
• You need your space - to think
  
• (You live in your “special” world)
  
• You’re self-reliant + independent
  
• (You like to do it your way)
  
• You’re a natural philosopher
  
• You’re “optimistic”
  

***Slow Down – You need a vacation
All the best!

Things that make you go Uhmm!

They say if you here it enough times you begin to believe what you hear. I hear a warning, I’m feeling the warning so I better seize to the warning. For me, what Ellie wrote in her last line is enough for me to wish you all the Happiest of Holiday's, Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and Happy New Year! I will be back in January. I’m taking a holiday break. :)

But for you what Ellie wrote implies you might have stumbled upon a blog that potentially could help you make money - earn free money to start a business, or point you in the proper direction. But before I leave the blogsphere for my Christmas break, I want to leave you all with a little challenge.

Make Money With No Money

Are you the kind of person that enjoys seeing other people feel good, or the kind of person that knows how to find the answer to just about anything? Maybe you’re analytical, or a problem solver, or maybe both. Do you recognize patterns, or do you prefer to draw patterns? These are all natural talents and everybody has them.

Do you take time throughout your day to recognize your skills, your natural talent? When you are using your natural talent you require little to no effort to complete tasks. What if you could create a successful business from your natural talent making you money while fulfilling your purpose and soul, would you be able to do it? Would you be able to start a business using your natural talent but without an investment?

Make Money Fast With Your Natural Talent

Do you know what your natural talent is?

Everybody has natural talent the goal is to find what that is. Your natural talent is buried somewhere within your automatic actions, which account for 95% of what you do. You use your natural talent to complete tasks each and everyday. Your natural talent is so much a part of you that you are not aware that you are using it. Your natural talent is an automatic reaction and unless you know what you are looking for, you will not be able to find it. You are probably doing something else while using your natural talent.

Over the course of fourteen-days, log every task you complete, including: automatic natural tasks such as helping another person, doodling on a blank canvas, or mixing herbs and spices to create delicious meals.

Next to each task create two columns. In the first column enter a number between 1 and 10 to represent how successful you were at completing the task. And in the second column enter another number between 1 and 10 to represent how much you love working on the task.

After fourteen-days, analyze the log and look for tasks that have 9’s and 10’s in the success and love column. Your natural talent will pop out at you.

Free Money To Start A Business

Start a business with your natural talent and skills. Make money, and be your own boss. Research the Internet to learn about the various opportunities that are available to you. Leverage existing tools and websites, barter for services, and use forums to ask questions or to solicit help.

When you are ready to express your natural talent, take the 30-day challenge and you could win free money to start a business. But there is one caveat, you cannot spend more than $100 to start your business.

47-Day Entrepreneur Challenge

Do you want to make a quick $100 bucks?

This past week I was a guest host on CFRB 1010 talk radio discussing the economy and what people should do if they lose their job, or if they find themselves in a position to become an entrepreneur. Over the past few days I started to think about posting a 30-day challenge, but with Christmas and the Holiday season only two weeks away, I opted for a 47-day Challenge instead.

The Challenge:

If you would like to participate in this challenge, please send an email to bruno@brunologreco.com with your name, city/state/country and your goal for the 47-day challenge. In the month of January I will begin to post a scorecard with individuals name, their goal, and how they are tracking towards achieving their goal. 

Everybody in this challenge will be a winner no matter the outcome.

Challenge Rules:

1. All entries must be new in thought and cannot be an existing idea that is already generating a source of revenue.
2. Each entry must include dates, and or targets that they intend to achieve within the 47-days.
3. You cannot invest greater than $100.00 for this challenge.
4. The winner of the challenge must reveal the process and the tools used to successfully create a new revenue stream.
5. The winner will receive a prize package valued at $100.00 CDN

Source of Inspiration

If you are stuck and need some inspiration for this challenge, create a task list itemizing your daily tasks. In your daily log be sure to include tasks that are automatic and natural to you – meaning you have no conscience thought that you are performing these tasks. Next to each task enter a number from 1 to 10, to rate how successful you were at completing the task, and another number from 1 to 10 to rate how much you loved working on the task. After one week of data, analyze and look for tasks that have 9’s and 10’s next to them. Now take your natural skills and create a revenue stream.

Use the Internet well to uncover an abundance of opportunities. Start small - barter for services, use www.craigslist.com to gain further inspiration, use forums to ask questions and to solicit help in your niches. 

Good Luck to everybody!
