BECOME A BOSS WITH NO MONEY
It's Monday morning, six a.m. and your alarm is buzzing. You're thinking: "Goodbye sleep and hello harsh reality." Another workweek has begun. You hit the snooze button at least two or three times, rush through your morning dress ritual, and then tear out of the door to a job you can't stand. As always, you briefly toy with the idea of becoming your own boss. Is it possible? You assess your situation and remind yourself that while you dream rich, you live cash poor. A steady paycheck is what gets you out of bed every morning, and the fear of not having one is what keeps you locked into the daily grind.
But here's the thing—lacking startup capital shouldn't keep you from striking out on your own. Not when there are a number of businesses that require little or no upfront, out-of-pocket expenses.
Turn your favorite hobby into a day job
Many of these startups are created by people who turn their favorite hobbies into jobs. "Karen Holly" Jewelry, for example, was started by two network television employees who loved making jewelry in their spare time. The women made necklaces and bracelets in their home and sold them to co-workers. Now their creations are sold to upscale clients in Atlanta area salons and boutiques.
Do you like shopping and running errands? You might want to consider starting a personal assistant business. You can use your spare time to run errands, set up schedules and do other "favors" for busy professionals. When you want to expand, simply dedicate a bit more time to your enterprise or recruit others to become employees.
From nollywood Elite to the busy executives in your neighborhood, personal assistants can make a pretty penny playing "gopher". Commanding any where from 15,000 an hour, it can be a pretty lucrative business. And it tops the list as one of the easiest ways to earn money without having to put out a dime. Other than the small amount of money it would take to incorporate or form an LLC, there is only one big expense—gas for your vehicle.
Personal Training
Are you a gym nut? If so, you may be missing out on a fast and easy way to make money. Personal trainers are raking in big bucks these days. Take for example P. Diddy's personal trainer, Mark Jenkins, who was paid six figures to get Puffy in tip top shape for the New York marathon. But you don't need to have high-rolling clients like Puff to make good money. Many busy, image-conscious professionals need a little help in the fitness department. Less glamorous personal trainers make anywhere from $60 to $600 an hour, depending on the client.
Personal Shopping
Attention Shoppers. Your shopping addiction could actually increase your bank account rather than deplete it. Just transfer your addition to shopping onto others. It takes little money to become a personal shopper as your clients will pay for both your time and the merchandise you buy for them. But take note—this job does actually require a modicum of talent. You'll also need to occasionally adapt your taste to that of your client, so even if you wouldn't be caught dead buying a Lladro figurine, you may just have to expand your horizons long enough to satisfy your patron. This is also an ideal job to begin doing part-time on the weekends until you build sufficient cash flow and confidence to quit your day job and become a full-time entrepreneur.
Closet Organizer
A closely related cousin of the personal shopper is the professional closet organizer. Idea for Type A personalities, closet organizers come into your home not to create closet shelves, but to edit your wardrobe down to the basics. In addition to throwing out worn items and eliminating wardrobe redundancies, talented closet organizers also identify needed essentials and seasonal "must-haves." It's more or less a spring cleaning service for your wardrobe. The only required element of this job is patience and organizational skills.
Generally speaking, all of us have at least one skill or interest that, if properly adapted, could result in a lucrative career. It comes down to this—if the thing you love doing the most could be of value to others, you've found your business. And in most cases, the most you'll need is a business plan, some time and a little seed money. Many people finance as they go, keeping their "day job" and paying for business necessities out of pocket. Others accumulate a few months' worth of savings or acquire a small loan and take the leap, knowing that their new idea will fly. It all depends on your current life situation, financial picture and confidence level.
Are you right for franchising?
Born entrepreneurs aside, to most of us the idea of starting a business completely from scratch is a scary thought. In this case, you may be a perfect candidate for opening a franchise. With good credit or the ability to raise money, you could own the next Subway or Mail Boxes Etc. outlet in your neighborhood. Not only will you be starting with a proven business model, you'll also enjoy the high-level marketing, national name recognition, and free business training typically made available to you as a new franchisee.
Show me the money!
The federal government also has programs for small business owners. For example, there is a grant program that provides funding to those willing to start "youwin" businesses in certain communities or conversely, programs for businesses that provide high-need services to the government. There are also a number of grants available for women and minority entrepreneurs.
Many state economic development offices and treasury departments have similar programs for their residents. Your best bet would be to call the treasurer's office in the state in which you reside. Even the IRS has a small business section that offers advice on setting up your business and explains the tax laws that could apply to your enterprise. It's worth it to do the research in the early stages of your business to prevent serious problems down the road.
The Small Business Association is by far the most well known agency for entrepreneurs. The SBA has grants, low interest loans and support services for business owners at every stage. A counselor from the group can help you set up a business plan, find funding, and teach you how to network and advertise your new business. There are SBA offices in just about every city that provide in-person counseling.
It could be the first step to making your dream come true.

......eVEN SO,YOU COULD TRY OUT THese...
Starting a business in Nigeria could be scary and most atimes discouraging. but then,"when the road gets tough,the tough keeps going". I mean that there are so much to earn you legitmate income in this country than the outside world.
In 2008, a friend of mine Jake,was so broke after his NYSC that he could not afford a three square meal. He told me a story of how he was slaped by a woman that owns a kiosk in his street as a result of N10 debt. That very day,he got home and cried aloud,yet no help came. The next day,he got up very early in the morning,when every employee haste to work. He dressed up and was headed Lagos Island,he had no destination,but to him,he must leave the house!
After wandering the streets of the tower buildings without luck,he determined,he was going to keep moving in and out of offices,droping his CVs. but then each time he walks into an office,they told him the bad news."we dont need new hands". My friend called me and requested my office address,to get transport fare back home. he was really downcast and worn out.
When he came around,i said to him"Jake congratulations,you have just found yourelf a job" He was confused and in disbelieve. and he querried"which job,how,where?". i gave him water to drink and then told him,your decision to leave your comfort zone,is the job you have found. You have seen how people work here,they dont have chance to themselves. Thats their problems,"go home and write out in a plain sheet,the likely problems you percieved from the people and offices you came in contact today. i gave him the money,and he left.
The next day,Jake was the 1st to call to my office@6:15am. It was a meeting day,so i asked him to wait for me. He has brought his write ups,the problems people have working on the island that he has seen. as he sat at the reception,Jake was still busy writing more. When i asked him to come in,he had written over one hundred. I told him to read them out one after another,and he did. I asked him,how many of the problems can you solve,,,,,he paused for a while and said aloud,TEN! so i said to him,"JAke congratulations on your new job once more. immediately he held my hand and said,thank you,i shall meet you up there,,,,,,,,,,,he left.
Today, Jake has moved to the island. running a laundry service he started in his resident. He now have two offices. He goes extra miles,going to offices to pick the clothings of ever busy executives and employees and returning them in the most posible time. The last time he came to collect my suits from the office,he came with a clean delivery bus,of which he bought from the proceed of his labour.
My good friends,i am a testimony of this. If i could start a company with just N250,000 in 2009, of which the coy is worth over 20M now,i bet you. You can do more. There are many business you can start with just as little as your brain. 3months after my first business brain seminar in Surulere,a certain man called me and said,"Sir,for over 45years of my life,i have lived without brain, but after your lecture,i felt like i have wasted all my life. but it wasnt late to try. Sir,i made use of my brain,and now im smiling everyday,coz i keep recieving deposit alerts from my bank accounts...Sir,i want to appreciate you and say God bless you". To him, success is in the brain.
