Looking to start small..need help

I am open to starting a business. I have had partners in the past that either lost desire, had zero risk tolerance, or just turned out to be lazy when push came to showe. I am NOT any kind of business expert. But what I am is someone who is highly motivated to make something work. I have had a cleaning business, a real-estate holding company, a nonprofit (that business structure is actually still in place), and I ventured into manufacturing most recently. I know this sounds like a lot, but they all were extremmly small ventures--that really did not yield much. So if anyone is interested in a possible partnership (something small to start) please reach out to me. I am really open to any kind of business idea. Even if you dont have an idea, but together want to brainstorm and see what we can do, I am 100% open to that.. My name is James. Thanks.

Hello James.

You have a non-profit? I have something that can work very well with an established non-profit especially if it has 501c3 status. Write me at franknfree (at) excite.com.

Hi James. I am expanding my own business and am looking for a few motivated people to help with this expansion. I am partnered with a huge company that offers different products and services that are high in demand. Its hard to explain everything in a post. If you would like more info its best to speak on the phone. This would be an informtaion only phone appointment/interview to see if we think we may be a good fit to work together.I would find out your goals and interests and go from there. email me your contact info if you are interested.

As a business owner of a small but successful business my self, I have a few tips for you.

1. Only invest in something you your self have prior work experience in that field. This insures you your self understand what you’re investing in completely.
2. If it sound to good to be true, it likely is to good and likely a scam
3. Cash Only!
4. Talk is cheap. Show me real profit margins or show me nothing.

Hope that helps.

One must think outside the box.... be open minded..
1.it is true to understand exactly what you are doing when starting a new business. however if you find a business in which you do not know much about by all means investigate it/learn about it. there are co. out there that give you the training and support needed to run your own business.such as a Franchise.
2. if its too good to be true, it likely is too good, therefore a scam. as mentioned above do investigate.
3.cash only.... most likely a scam.
4. Profit margins... usually available in a sound company.

My company is a direct Selling/Internet Franchise. We allow people to investigate/learn about our company for as long as needed before any investment . no other company i know will give training before you decide to start your own business with no commitment afterwards.

Something I’ve learned as a business man and something taught to me while in college was most businesses are formed by former employee’s or people who worked in the field prior to starting their own business. These businesses tend to be more successful and have a higher chance of success. Simply because there is little too no learning curve involved. I will also state the obvious that a investor is more likely to invest in someone with prior experience and knowledge. Honestly is just a more sound investment then someone who has no prior knowledge. I’m not saying you can’t make it happen with out prior experience but it makes start up a lot easier. Other wise you may have a large startup expense.
