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 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 instill 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 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 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.
