In my annual member survey, one of the 3 most common obstacles I hear is the money needed to start a business. As in, "I don't have enough money to start a business."\n(The other 2 are time and ideas.)\nIt's kind of a chicken vs. egg problem: you need money to start the business and you need the business to earn the money!\nBut the truth is that most side hustles these days don't take a ton of cash to get off the ground. In fact, most of the businesses I've started have cost less than $500 to start.\nIn this episode I'll share 8 business models that have no startup costs, and one of them even has a "better than zero" startup cost -- meaning you can get paid to acquire your inventory.\nThe 8 Models:\n\nThe Perceived Value Plan\n\nThe Dealmaker Model\n\nThe Connector Email Model\n\nThe Curator Email Model\n\nOne Man\u2019s Trash is a Another Man\u2019s Treasure\n\nRepackaging\n\nThe Pay for Performance Model\n\nThe Agency Model\n\nTune in to hear my examples of real businesses making it work under each of those models. It's sure to get your creative juices flowing on what kind of side hustle you could start!\nStick around to the end of the show and I'll also share the actual startup costs for all of my businesses over the last 20 years.\nFull Show Notes: Bootstrapped Business Idea Brain Dump: 8 Business Models You Can Borrow w/ Zero (or Better than Zero) Startup Costs
