iReport —

Currently I gross $800,000., when I started my business I was devastated, my wife left me, I lost my job and only had $1000., $500. rent was due.  I created  a referral service from scratch, no direct knowledge. I hoped to receive promised checks for referrals averaging $25. each. For 3 years I worked 17 hour days, 7 days a week.

Tips: Start Small and grow with profit, spend wisely.

Consider a Service Business, no inventory or excessive tax work.

Always keep at least one credit card in good standing.

Work smart not hard. Be creative. Try to be positive at all times. Avoid everyone's negative comments. Make up a to do list daily and prioritize often. If you can create a burning desire to succeed, you will. This desire will push you towards your goals.

 

Please do not post  my Gross Income.

Thank you,

Hope this is helpful.

I was inspired by my 3 dogs.
