Look and learn how you can start a life only with U.S.$25 dollars

Money and money, many people think that only if you have a good position with a lot of contacts you can grow as person. If you read our blog frequently you might think that many business ideas that come here are impossible to achieve.

Well the Christian Science Monitor give us an experiment that show us that your are wrong.

Adam Shepard, did an experiment. He left home and went to live in a homeless shelter in a community of people with no money, only $ 25 in his pocket.

Without using any of your contacts and friends, after 10 months, came to have an apartment, a car and a U.S. $ 5000.00 savings.  

Find inspiration in the story of Adam Shepard to move forward with your business ideas, save money for capital that will serve to develop your business tomorrow.

“Alone on a dark gritty street, Adam Shepard searched for a homeless shelter. He had a gym bag, $25, and little else. A former college athlete with a bachelor’s degree, Mr. Shepard had left a comfortable life with supportive parents in Raleigh, N.C. Now he was an outsider on the wrong side of the tracks in Charles ton, S.C.

But Shepard’s descent into poverty in the summer of 2006 was no accident. Shortly after graduating from Merrimack College in North Andover, Mass., he intentionally left his parents’ home to test the vivacity of the American Dream. His goal: to have a furnished apartment, a car, and $2,500 in savings within a year.

To make his quest even more challenging, he decided not to use any of his previous contacts or mention his education.

During his first 70 days in Charleston, Shepard lived in a shelter and received food stamps. He also made new friends, finding work as a day laborer, which led to a steady job with a moving company.

Ten months into the experiment, he decided to quit after learning of an illness in his family. But by then he had moved into an apartment, bought a pickup truck, and had saved close to $5,000.”

What is the best product to sell and make money?

The title of this post is a usual question when you explore the business world, well the answer is very easy, the best product to make money is yourself. You should start selling to yourself before trying to make money with anything.

When you go to a store what products you chose? … the products that you need and among them the products that look better or maybe has more gadgets.

If you think that you are a product … will you buy to yourself?

You are always “selling” you, as a husband or wife, as a father or mother, as employee or boss. As any product of a store, you should look the best way that you can, you have to project an image of success.

Projecting an image of success is a powerful tool that gives you authority. If you see someone with a BMW or Mercedes and another who did not even have a car and both give you a tip for making money, which of them would believe more?

Then the first business idea you have to develop and sell is yourself, apply all rules of marketing to yourself.

The picture has been taken from Yahoo Finance. The secret to being a millionaire is to start as soon as possible. Instead of buying toys for your children you should start saving in your child’s name and teach them the value of money. About it at Yahoo Finance website you can find interesting guides about How To Teach Your Children The Value of Money. You can read there: 

“5. Make Saving Interesting

You hear it every time you walk by a toy store: “I want…Buy me this… !” Again, pause and take a moment before responding. This situation presents a great opportunity to teach another important lesson about personal finance: savings and interest. Explain that people often save their money for items they want to buy.

A simple savings lesson involves using a piggy bank, shoe box, or empty peanut butter jar. Make the lesson fun by having your children decorate the “bank,” while explaining to them how you also use a real bank to save your money. Encourage your children to save a portion of their allowance for a special goal. As they save money, you might reward them with a small additional amount, just like a bank pays interest. At the end of each month, calculate how much they have saved and then chip in a certain percentage as interest.

Last, to further encourage the learning process, you might consider plotting a visual chart of their savings (include the goal) so they can easily see their savings grow. Remember to keep it as simple as possible, geared toward each child’s level of understanding.”
