i have $2,000 dollars, what small business should i start?

LEarn to trade the Forex

Start with 1/4 of that, and never look back.

You don't need tens of thousands of dollars to start a business. The fact that people think you do is what keeps so many from never starting one, or from failing at it if they do. They spend all their money on offices and employees instead of on activities that actually create revenue. I own two small businesses that earn me very good money. If I were to start over with just a little money, I would start out with this:

I bought a copy of this for my son in law last year when he got laid off from his job and he started a business within 30 days using the ideas from this book. No, I don't get paid for recommending it, I just think it would be a good thing if more people had the info in this book and were able to get away from being wage slaves. It's worth ten times what they charge for it if you actually read and digest and ACT on what is in it.

Good luck, and don't listen to all the idiots on this site telling you can't start a business. I'll bet none of the ones telling you that have successful businesses.

And that's my second piece of advice...never take advice on starting a business from anyone who hasn't already done it themselves.

Scam.

OP, you need to start a REAL business, a LEGAL business, forget about dope dealing and stupid internet pyramid games and online trading and the like. I'd stay away from anything involving serving food, too, WAY too much paperwork/red tape/licensing headaches. Also anything requiring a ton of inventory, or a brick and mortar storefront or office are going to be way out of your budget as a start up.

There are lots of small service businesses you can start without a ton of money. It's also possible to start an online business with relatively little money, although you WOULD need to get quite a lot of knowledge before even considering that.

My son in law started a residential window washing business with guidance from the book I recommended earlier in this thread. He's not making millions but he's making what most would consider a good full time living and his business is only a little under a year old. That book is not just bunk or hype it is how to actually start a little business like that, find customers, etc. If I remember there were about 15 or 20 different businesses to choose from, and you could use the same model for others. I won't post the link again, too many idiots on this thread accusing me of shilling, but I promise you if you are serious about starting a small LEGAL, LEGIT business you can find what you are looking for in that book. Good luck to you.

I have 2 grand, what small business can I start? Im good in sales/retail etc.

no seriously, i have 2k that i worked hard to save, what can i do?

I don't think it IS possible, I think the poster was just pointing out a principle of growing your business, that is, don't confuse your nest egg with your cash cow. Most people, when they start a small business, live off/spend the revenue instead of plowing it back into the business to make it grow. So their business always stays small.

If you start out with only $2000, as a first goal you may try to double the net value of your business to $4000.

Most people instead make the mistake of trying to earn more income from their business. The first thing to think about should be the value of the business, not how much you can milk from it.

The $2 bid can work, but you need to think outside the box,

In Forex, say you start with $500

Thru compounding your profits, and adjusting your lot sizes, you can turn that into about $10,000 in 12 trading days, seriously..

Now, if you have the balls, the patiance, and the mind, you can actually turn that $500 into about $417,000 in 20 trading days, just thru compounding and lot adjustments, and guess what, you can do that in less then 3-4 hours a day, getting 100 pips daily. Pips are the digit movements in currency. Take for instance, today, right now, EURUSD is

1.4116

When the number moves to 1.4117, you gained 1 PIP, and that 1 pip, could be $1, $10, $100, $1,000 and so on, depending on your lot sizes.

Get 100 of those a day, or even 50, or 20, its up to you, and how fast you want to make your money.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course it sounds far fetched, and wayyyy out there, but its true, and obtainable, but it starts with YOU.

And, of course, your actions must be precise. YOU NEED TO KNOW ENTRY, its that simple.

Im a scalper, I scalp trends. Give me 5 trends, at 20 pips, and my day is done.

I have a money managemnet plan, its a cycling routine.

Start with a small bankroll, grow and compound it for 2 trading weeks, $$9,100 in profit, withdrawl, repeat with the $500.

Then every 3 months, go for the Gold, or the 20 day run i call it.

If you miss, which, really you shouldnt, you can pull in over $1,000,000 a year..
