in Project HOPE5 years ago

The first thing you need to have (not only for business) is determination, just like determination is required for the achievement of success, determination is what will keep you through every struggle or issue you may encounter on your journey towards financial exploit.

You could become an entrepreneur by rendering services: There are lots of misconception about entrepreneurship and one of them is that, an entrepreneur must sell or get involved in trading which is a wrong motive.
Do you have a skill, then begin with what you can render.

Do you have a skill in writing, or is it a skill in accounting or business management or do you know how to cook?
Then quickly offer to provide these services to client and begin your entrepreneurial journey.

A successful business owner once said:

<< If you do not have money, then it is necessary that you have time.>>

With time, you can consistently work on something without giving up.
Business comes with lot's of set backs and issues, but the thing is even if you do not have the money to get yourself out of the mess then make sure you have the time to pull yourself out of difficult situations.

One problem with so many startups is that, they want to look like a million dollar company immediately they start and it is not compulsory to do that until you have made enough money to run your business like a million dollar enterprise.

The fact that you have a great marketing skill does not mean you should go into your own business immediately, you could start affiliate marketing for another company and get good returns, that does not make you less than an entrepreneur.

Drop shipping is one good way to begin your entrepreneurial journey without funds, it is very easy for you to get a product at a low rate and sell them at a higher rate, therefore making your profit and gradually building your brand.

While you are working on your entrepreneurial journey, remember not to quit your job. It might be stressful but an entrepreneurial journey is not going to be rosy, so you need a source of income to keep your family while you grow your business.

Do not be too fast to delegate responsibilities, is it something you can do by yourself, it may require extra effort but it is better you do it yourself because no one else understands how much you need the business to succeed better than you and remember you do not have enough money to give out.

It is also possible to partner with an entrepreneur,through the process of partnering, you can learn the difficulties in being an entrepreneur without being the direct bearer of the risk.

So dear aspiring entrepreneurs, you do not have to wait until you have money before you begin your entrepreneurial journey, but do not also put your family through pain and hunger by quitting your job or anything that brings food to the table.
I hope you find the post helpful, thank you.

In the generation of the internet, several people have become interpreneurs with no money as startup,a lot of them have built sites for several purposes making it easy to grow and start employing staffs as time goes on.

You are absolutely correct @ben-edom, we must admit that the technological and internet age has brought us benefits.

@lanzjoseg I think it's great advice that you have given to @futurekr.

Just a little reminder: if you decide to publish in Spanish, please do not make your post in the hive, remember that in Project Hope Hive the publications must be made in English.

I would love to publish in spanish but due to language barrier, it might be a little difficult coupled with the fact the online translators will only worsen the case. If you can make a translation post, i will appreciate.

This is a detailed post for anyone who wants to get started without funds and I love the disclaimer at the bottom of the post, no one should ever quit a basic source of income until it is evident that your business is sustainable.

Thank you tobi, they are great tips i learnt from research also.

Being your own boss, calling all the shots, hustling to hit your goals -- for many people, entrepreneurship is the ultimate

I think what you say is quite reasonable advice: to start a business or invest money or invest time (to generate the money needed), but never abandoning the source of living resources that you have until you are assured other.

That is one basic factor we should not take for granted because frustration and depression is real.

Somehow I didn't notice your post until just now. Will upvote it once voting power will fully recharge.

Dear @futurekr

Great choice of topic.

I honestly think that if you have no funds to start up your own project and focus on it for at least few months, then you should reconsider even thinking about it.

Dramatic majority of new businesses and start-ups fail within first year because of lack of funds and problems with money flow. Relying on investors can be very tricky and dangerous.

Lack of funding will most likely distract your work on daily basis. Instead of thinking about your own project - you will think about surviving every day. Terrible idea.

I would rather recommend having full time job and pushing your own project after work, until you feel financially comfortable enough to commit 100% into it.

Have a pleasant monday,
Yours, Piotr
