Start
A Small Business & Work From Home
142
Now
was created out of my personal frustration and
fear of not knowing where to begin when wanting
to start a small business from home. I made a
mistake of wasting hundred's and hundred's of
dollars on books and CDs which were pretty useless.
Those
books and CDs I purchased when I wanted to start
my first small business from home included information
that Fortune 500 companies would need. Clearly
not the information for the small business you
are going to start at home. And as they say:
"
It’s good to learn from your mistakes,
but it’s even better to learn from
someone else’s mistakes."
|
 It
was at this point I kept asking myself, "there
has to be a better way." In fact there needed
to be a better way. Not only for myself, but so
others can start a small business quickly and
accurately from home. Those who know me realize
that I like to help. Especially helping others
succeed. So I started assembling information for
142 Now back in 2005,
taking notes as I moved forward with my first
small business from home. My notes included what
worked, what needed improvement on, what definitely
does not work, and so on.
The
goal with 142 Now is
to provide you with the ideas and tools needed
to successfully get you started with your very
own small business from home. Sure you can use
your money to buy that new iPOD or maybe a round
of drinks at happy hour, but what will you end
up with? How will those purchases help you and
your future? And be honest when you answer these
questions.
I
am asking that you make an investment
in your future.
I am asking that you make an investment
in you.
