Business startup success stories abound!  Especially in this economy, many people are starting home based businesses and creating amazing success.  Lets look at how.

What do you need to start a business?  Do you need a huge complicated business plan to pitch to banks so you can get a loan?  Do you need to present the plan to lots of investors and give up shares and control of the effort and work you commit?  Perhaps you need a lot of property and equipment and a lot of employees to manage and produce your products?  Or you need to negotiate with lots of vendors and the stress associated with paying them on time?

Do you really want all those headaches?

No?  Good!  You really don’t need any of those things.  I should know – I started my first my first business that way.

Creating your own business startup success story is easy and can be done from the comfort of your own home in your spare time.  You just need inspiration and an idea. You need a mindset focused on delivering value to others and you need to start and keep going until you succeed.

We live in the greatest country the world has seen.  Ever! The United States of America is truly the Land of Opportunity.  Many have died trying to get here with the intention of creating the life of their dreams.  Did you know immigrants are FOUR times more likely to become millionaires than those born in the U.S?  Anyone with a passion for business success can start a home based business and succeed.

Here is a great example.  My local town newspaper recently had a story about a book signing to be held one evening. The author is local and she was selling autographed copies of her first published book.  It is a children’s story about the challenges a young girl faces when she moves to a new community where she doesn’t know anyone.  She got the idea from her own personal experiences.  It is a great book.  She sold many copies that night and even got email addresses of her customers to put them on the mailing list for the announcement of her next book.

Here’s the catch – she is ELEVEN years old!  Don’t believe me?  Check out her website!

It was so inspiring to watch this girl selling hundreds of books to admiring adults who couldn’t give her cash fast enough.

How did this young child create a business startup success story from her own home?  She followed a few key steps:

• She had an idea and developed a plan to turn her idea into reality
• She enlisted the help of a mentor
• She sought technical skills in others that she lacked (publishing, websites, etc.)
• She took ACTION daily and she didn’t quit!

If an 11 year old girl can create a business startup success story why can’t you?

Think of the talents and gifts you have to offer others.  Formulate an idea around your strengths and put a plan together to deliver as much value to as many people as you possibly can.   To accelerate your success, find a mentor who has accomplished what you seek to achieve.   A great coach will help you avoid common mistakes and serve as an accountability partner to keep you on track.
