THE LAZY PERSON'S SECRETS TO OVERNIGHT WEALTH AND FAME
There are so many simple, yet really sure
fire ways of acquiring wealth, it's a wonder
everybody with even the least bit of ambition
isn't already rich.
When you come right down to it, the only
things needed for anyone to make bundles of
money are the long range vision and the
energy to put a money making plan into
force.
One of the easiest methods of building wealth,
and the one most often used by the "smart"
people is to furnish the expertise, equipment
or growth capital to promising beginning
businesses.
Basically, you buy in as either a part owner
or limited partner; then, as the business
grows and prospers with your help, you reap
your share of the rewards.
The beautiful part about this whole concept
is that you can repeat this procedure over
and over again.
You can start out with, say, marketing and
sales leadership for a small, garage-type
business; then with your holdings and
earnings from that business, invest in
another, and keep doing this until you own a
part of twenty-five to an unlimited number
of businesses.
Look at the idea from a dollar return point
of view, if you were getting $400 a month
from 25 different businesses, your monthly
income would amount to no less than $10,000,
and that's not too bad for a fledgling
millionaire.
Look around your own area.
With just a little bit of business sense 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 a business turns you on
with enthusiasm about the potential profits
to be made 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 to the business owner about some
ideas and help that could double or triple
his profits.
When you approach him in that manner, he's
almost certain to want to see you and hear
what you have to say.
In preparation for your meeting, 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 profit to be
gained. Then, when you arrive for the meeting,
be sure to look and act the part of a
successful business person. A few
pleasantries to break the ice, and then begin
with your presentation.
Through your proposal, you must instil
confidence that you can do all you claim for
him. Guide him through the presentation to
the ultimate profits - all for a 10 or 20 per
cent 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 every day problems and things to do. They
find there just aren't enough hours in the
day to handle everything that should be taken
care of, and end up neglecting or putting off
some of the things they should be doing to
keep the business prosperous.
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
a few thousand dollars, you can easily "buy
into" some small businesses.
Be sure to look the business (and its 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 start figuring!
You can reach a never ending supply of such
businesses to choose from, simply by running
a small advertisement in your daily
newspaper 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.
PO BOX ABC, CITY.
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 see what kind of a 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
greatest profit potential.
Other people have done it, and more are
starting up every day.
There's no reason why you can't do it.
In most cases little or no cash is needed.
But with just a little bit of action on your
part, you could quickly become a
multi-business owner, and very wealthy as
well.
