and sales leadership for a small, garage type business -
then with your holdings and earnings from that business,
invest in another and keep doing it until you own a part of
25 to an unlimited number of businesses.
Looking at the idea for a "dollar return" point of view, if
you were getting $200 per month from 25 different
businesses, your monthly income would amount to no less than
$5,000 and that's not too bad for a fledgling millionaire.
Look around your own area - with just a little but of
business moxie and perception, you're sure to find hundreds
of small businesses that could do better, perhaps even
become giants in their field with your help. Most small
businesses need and would welcome marketing, promotional,
advertising, and sales help. If a quick survey of business
turns you on with enthusiasm about the potential profits
with just a few changes that you can suggest, then you are
on your way. Basically, you set up an appointment to see and
talk with the business owner about some ideas and help that
could double or triple his profits.
Whenever, and so long as you approach him in that manner,
he's almost always going to want to see you and hear what
you have to say. In preparing for your meeting with him/her
- set your ideas down on paper. Put them together in an
impressive marketing or profit-potential folio. Outline your
ideas, the costs involved and the ultimate profits to be
gained. Then, when you arrive for the meeting, be sure to
look the part, and act the part of successful business
person. A few amenities for break the ice, and then begin
with your proposal or presentation. The bottom line is
simple that you tell the business owner that you can do all
you say for him through to the ultimate profits for a 10 or
20 percent limited partnership in the business, which really
won't cost him anything. Of course, if he's reluctant to
give up any part of his ownership, you come back with the
idea of being hired as a consultant.
Almost all small businesses need help of some kind. The
owners get bogged down in a myriad of everyday problems and
things to do - find that there just isn't enough hours in a
day to handle everything that should be taken care of - and
end up neglecting or not doing some of the things they
should be doing to keep their business prosperous - and as a
result, the long struggle for business survival begins, with
more than 60% of them selling out at a loss or just closing
up shop.
The other way to "cut yourself in" on a piece of someone
else's business is to supply needed money. If you can come
up with 10- or 15-thousand dollars, you can easily "buy
into" most small businesses. Be sure to look the business,
and it's market potential over, but once you spot one that
can really be a winner with just a little bit of operating
cash or money for expansion, then jump on it. You can have a
never-ending supply of such businesses to choose from,
simply by running a small advertisement in your daily
newspapers in the classified section under the heading of
Business Opportunities Wanted. Such an ad might read:
SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS EXECUTIVE LOOKING FOR NEW BUSINESS
VENTURES. WILL CONSIDER BUY-OUT OR PARTNERSHIP. WRITE: PO
BOX 123
By the same token, make it a habit to look through the
Business Opportunities Available, on a regular basis. Mark a
few each day and follow up - check them out, and find out
what kind of deal is being offered. Remember, proper
management and planning are basically the ingredients to
success in business - and most small businesses just don't
have these ingredients in the proportions needed to attain
their true profit potentials.
Other people have done it, and are doing it every day.
There's no reason why you can't do it - in most cases -
little or no cash is needed, and with just a little bit of
action on your part, you could quickly become a
multi-business owner and very wealthy as well.
