Getting started with a micro business



Just picked up a book called the 100 dollar startup.  You really have to start thinking like a business owner.  You cannot just think about getting a job and letting that do it.

A business has a potential upside that can change the game.  A job can be zapped and you can be outsourced.  There are so many people that build up lots of skills, but they only see the way to use them through a regular job.  

The 100 dollar startup is talking about a low cost way to get started into business.  The author gives examples of different people from around the globe are venturing into the arena of microbusiness.  These are not really big businesses, but they have the potential to grow into something more meaningful. 

The book talks about creating a consulting business and not taking more than a day to do it.  It is all about applying your specialized knowledge.  Can you find a market that needs something that you have to offer?  Micro business might be something that you need to consider.

What if you could come up with a business and get the ball rolling without spending a lot of money?  Do you have the mindset to take the first step towards creating a business for yourself?
