Do you (or your teenager) want to start a micro business, but fear you don't have the money to start?

Dollars and Sense host, Carol Topp and guest host, 17 year old Jonah Wilson, claim that you can start a micro business with no money!

How?

Listen in as Carol and Jonah share several ways to start a micro business with no money

In the podcast, Carol and Jonah mention Starting a Micro Business, a helpful book (and ebook) that can be very helpful in launching your micro business.

Show Notes:

What does it cost to start a micro business?

If a product-based business,  then inventory, packaging & shipping and advertising costs

Maybe equipment like computer, lawnmower, oven, piano, etc.

If a service-based business, then not much start-up money needed except for ads, a website, business cards, etc.

Where does the start up money come from?

* Savings

* Start as a hobby/volunteer/only break even

* Investor (or small loan from parents), but not a partner

* Sell something

* Work a temporary job

* Start a service business and save up to launch a larger business

Listen to the next Dollars and Sense Podcast (Episode #16) where Carol and Jonah will discuss the dangers of starting a micro business with debt.
