Can you start a *real* business part-time? Answer: Yes!
 

If you're wondering whether you can start a real business part-time, while holding down a job... The answer is: Yes!

The following is an article about a guy who started a web design business with just $500. However, he wasn't making ends meet - so he also took on a job...

About 5 years later, he finally quit his job - and his business hit $1 million in sales!

It's fascinating reading about how he was able to juggle the two! (Inspirational, too...!)

I Met Tony Robbins Executive Secretary-How Tony Started
 

Thanks Dien,

I asked advice from self made millionaires before I started my Marketing
Biz.

A - some said "Quit your job - it forces you to succeed."

B - Others said, "Keep your job - build your own biz part time.

I wanted to EAT. So I did Plan B.

Tony Robbins Exec Assistant told me how Tony Got Started.

He held down low paying jobs.

Started doing F-r-e-e Speaking gigs.

About a year down the road a FUNNY THING Happened that took him from
FREE SPEAKER to PAID Speaker.

He had 2 Speaking Offers for the same day.

When he told both hosts his dilemma - ONE OFFERED to PAY.

P.S. - This is similar to how I started my Marketing Business. 40 hr job - 40 hr Marketing Side Biz.

But Unlike Tony - I found a mentor to help me Successfully ASK for Munny.

Judy Kendall - who built FuzzBuster Radar Detector - Showed me how.

Thanks Glenn, for your fantastic and inspirational post!
 

Thanks Glenn for sharing this...

This is a very important and valuable story (both Tony Robbins' story, and also Glenn's too)...

Many people who want to start a business have this dilemma. They fear that if they start their business "part-time", that they'll fail, because they won't be putting enough hours into it.

That is actually true for some businesses, I would say. For example, in some areas, speed is very important to not be left behind. If you are in a cutting-edge high-tech business, developing new internet technology for example, then if you don't move fast, your competitors who are doing something similar will probably overtake you!

You can get a good sense of this if you watch the documentary "Startup.com". It dates from the first tech-boom (late 1990s-2000). However, you get a good sense that there are other competitors doing what they want to do - and if they don't move, they'll be beaten.

On the other hand, there are many other businesses where this is not true. You can start your business part-time, and still succeed. And there's no need to starve, to risk everything, or to eat daily meals of ramen noodles (the food of choice of tight-budget startup entrepreneurs!).

So, if you want to work part-time and start up your business at the same time, choose a business where this won't be an issue...

Thanks Glenn, for sharing this fantastic (and inspirational) story!

Best wishes,

Dien
