I did this repeatedly working out of my home with no employees. You can do it, too. With only $500, I also started a World Championship sports team and four other successful businesses that never crossed the multi-million-dollar threshold. That's a total of 14 businesses and a World Championship sports team all started with only $500 working from our kitchen table and a Denny's coffee shop. How was this even possible? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy combining my Harvard BA in psychology and my Stanford Graduate MBA in finance with 20 years of diverse work experiences, I was able to cobble together all the necessary pieces to accomplish this. My devoted and brilliant wife of 44 years and our daughters provided a reliable, solid, and loving base from which I could work, create, and build. Building a business isn't just about great ideas, understanding the nuts and bolts of business, and capital. It's about people and relationships. You'll have business partners, clients, customers, investors, lenders, vendors, contractors, and employees. You have to \"walk a mile in their shoes\" to understand their perspective and how best to work with them satisfying their wants and needs while fulfilling your own. Ultimately, your business success will depend upon relationships and finance - two fields I've studied thoroughly. I've enhanced this expertise with 65 years of hands-on experience as a serial entrepreneur. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this business narrative I walk you through how I did it step-by-step.
