HOW TO ACHIEVE WEALTH THE EASY WAY
There are so many sure-fire, yet really simply ways to acquire
real wealth, it's a wonder everybody with even the least bit of ambition
isn't filthy rich. When you get right down to it, the only thing needed
for anyone to make bundles of money, is long-range vision and the energy
to put a money-making plan into force.
One of the easiest methods of building wealth, and the one used
most often by the "smart" people, is simply the furnishing of expertise,
equipment or growth capital to promising beginning businesses. Basically,
you buy in as either a part owner or limited partner - then, as the
business grows and prospers with your help, you reap fantastic rewards.
The beautiful part about this whole concept is that you can do this
same thing, or duplicate it over and over again. You can start out
with say, marketing and sales leadership for a small, garage type business
- then with your holdings and earnings from that business, invest in
another and keep doing it until you own a part of 25 to an unlimited
number of businesses. Looking at the idea for a "dollar return" point
of view, if you were getting $200 per month from 25 different businesses,
your monthly income would amount to no less than $5,000 and that's
not too bad for a fledgling millionaire.
Look around your own area - with just a little but of business moxie
and perception, you're sure to find hundreds of small businesses that
could do better, perhaps even become giants in their field with your
help.
Mot small businesses need and would welcome marketing, promotional,
advertising, and sales help. If a quick survey of business turns you
on with enthusiasm about the potential profits with just a few changes
that you can suggest, then you are on your way.
Basically, you set up an appointment to see and talk with the business
owner about some ideas and help that could double or triple his profits.
Whenever, and so long as you approach him in that manner, he's almost
always going to want to see you and hear what you have to say.
In preparing for your meeting with him/her - set you ideas down
on paper. Put them together in an impressive marketing or profit-potential
folio. Outline your ideas, the costs involved and the ultimate profits
to be gained.
The, when you arrive for the meeting, be sure to look the part,
and act the part of successful business person. A few amenities for
break the ice, and then begin with your proposal or presentation.
The bottom line is simple that you tell the business owner that
you can do all you say for him through it to the ultimate profits for
a 10 or 20 percent limited partnership in the business, which really
won't cost him anything. Of course, if he's reluctant to give up any
part of his ownership, you come back with the idea of being hired as
a consultant.
Almost all small businesses need help of some kind. The owners
get bogged down in a myriad of everyday problems and things to do
find that there just isn't enough hours in a day to handle everything
that should be taken care of - and end up neglecting or not doing some
of the things they should be doing to keep their business prosperous
- and as a result, the long struggle for business survival begins,
with more than 60% of them selling out at a loss or just closing up
shop.
The other way to "cut yourself in" on a piece of someone else's
business is to supply needed money. If you can come up with 10- or
15-thousand dollars, you can easily "buy into" most small businesses.
Be sure to look the business, and it's market potential over, but once
you spot one that can really be a winner with just a little bit of
operating cash or money for expansion, then jump on it.
You can have a never-ending supply of such businesses to choose
from, simply by running a small advertisement in your daily newspapers
in the classified section under the heading of Business Opportunities
Wanted. Such an ad might read:
SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS EXECUTIVE LOOKING
FOR NEW BUSINESS VENTURES.
WILL CONSIDER BUY-OUT OR PARTNERSHIP.
WRITE: PO BOX 123
By the same token, make it a habit to look through the Business
Opportunities Available, on a regular basis. Mark a few each day and
follow up - check them out, and find out what kind of deal is being
offered. Remember, proper management and planning are basically the
ingredients to success in business - and most small businesses just
don't have these ingredients in the proportions needed to attain their
true profit potentials.
Other people have done it, and are doing it every day. There's
no reason why you can't do it - in most cases - little or no cash is
needed, and with just a little bit of action on your part, you could
quickly become a multi-business owner and very wealthy as well.
