If you're interested in creating a side gig, first, you need the right idea.
In 1955, a salesman named Ray Kroc was able to make a good living selling milkshake mixers to small restaurants across the country.
Even though someone else started the McDonald’s restaurant, he ended up being the one with the dream to take it coast to coast. When he came across the McDonald’s franchise business, he decided to turn it into a corporation.
That one big idea made him a millionaire. He had a net worth of $600 million at the time of his death in 1984.
He perfected the McDonald’s idea, although not his own, and turned it into a chain business. He realized the income potential and that alone was the drive for success.
What I am introducing you to today has the same structural backbone behind it. Take something you love to do, or something you see the potential in, and turn that into your own business.
But like I've said before in some of my other articles, don’t quit your day job until your business is thriving and successful, or until you see a necessity to run it full-time. Even then you can hire managers, marketing experts, & others to help you.
Your day job is your backup plan, so you don’t want to get rid of that until you see that your realized “dream” is one worth chasing. I've seen too many people quit their job and do without a paycheck for a business that never even got it's foot off the ground.
Weigh out the pros and cons of running your business and then decide if it is worth taking the risk of losing your invested time, effort, and money.
You don’t have the money to start your own business? There are online platforms that can help you generate the start-up funds needed. People on websites like Kickstarter, GoFundMe, or angel investors are looking to help you fund your project or business idea.
My life and business have given me the privilege of meeting some of the wealthiest people in Alabama. Some wealthy people are investors who invest in other people’s business ideas. These are rich people who make their money off of funding other people’s businesses.
Another option is to start a service-based business. You can usually run this type of business with little to no start-up funds. Save the money from the service-based business until you generate enough of income to get the business you want to do off the ground.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE to those who believe, who put forth the effort, and who patiently endure whatever it takes to reach success.
