HELPFUL HINTS: HOW TO START A BUSINESS FOR $100
If you're the typical “would-be en
trepreneur,” you often dream of
launching your own business but
never get beyond your “dream ” be
cause you assume you need a lot of
startup capital. Maybe you don’t
know that:
• The founder of Fritos bought
his recipe for $100, made corn chips
at night in his mother’s kitchen and
sold them by day from the back of
his car:
• H&R Block was launched with
no money because the fees custom
ers paid were the source of capital
to expand;
• Frank W Woolworth worked
in retail jobs free just to gain ex
perience and opened his first F.W.
Woolworth with $21 of his own and
$300 worth of borrowed 5-cent
goods from his last employer
The founders of Fritos, H&R
Block and F.W. Woolworth Co., as
well as ADP, Ford Motor Co., and
Eastman Kodak, each started with
$100 or less. What they and hun
dreds of other entrepreneurs
lacked in startup capital, they
made up for in determination—to
risk their talents and time to
achieve their dreams of financial
independence.
"You can do the same,” says Dr.
Geoffrey Kessler, who has spent
the past 20 years counseling more
than 750 entrepreneurs and study
ing more than 2.000 companies. “If
you use a little ingenuity, a lot of
common sense and follow some ba

profits instead of money now.
• Ask others for free help. Give
them excitement and praise.
• S tart by being a salesperson
to earn cash and gain experience.
• Get professionals and entre
preneurs to “help out the little
guy.”
• Generate startup capital and
build skills by providing services
weekends and evenings.

sics, the rest will come naturally.”
To help you challenge your tal
ents, Dr. Kessler has compiled a list
of insider basics th at others have
used to launch a business of their
own—for $100 or less.
• S tart in your home.
• S tart a part-tim e business
while keeping your current job
• Give other hopeful entrepre
neurs experience or training in re
turn for their free labor
• Launch a m arketing cam

' under $20).
• Moonlight on any job to earn
money
• Defer payment. Pay impor-
• Establish a joint venture with
a company that has resources you
lack (machines, vehicles, money).
• Use “night idle” facilities
nights or weekends at little or no
cost.
• Ask potential customers to
pay up-front: a 50 percent deposit
or payment in full
• Convince hungry vendors to
provide the services you need in re
turn for your future business.
“You may not become a mil
lionaire,” Dr Kessler says. “But
most of today’s small business own
ers earn more than $40,000 a year,
and their state of mind is consider
ably better than that of most em
ployees.”
