"The Biggest Secret To Building Any Home Business On A Budget..."

When you can see and understand that many famous, successful people like these usually start off in places worse than we're at.

It think they brings our goals a little closer and makes them more tangible...
Dan Akroyd was a mail sorter for Canada's national postal service.
Jennifer Aniston was both a telemarketer and waitress before hitting it big.
Halle Berry worked at Higbee's Department store in the children's department.
Sandra Bullock worked as a bartender.
Before his big break, country singer Kenny Chesney worked as a valet attendant, telemarketer and mail sorter.

Chubby Checker plucked chickens at a poultry market named Henry Colt's.

Before Nirvana, the late Kurt Cobain worked as a janitor for Lemons Janitorial Service.

Diddy was an intern at Uptown Records where he did grunt work like washing cars & fetching coffee.

Bill Cosby shined shoes and sold produce when he was young.

Simon Cowell started out as a mail room clerk for EMI Music Publishing where his father worked.

Michael Dell washed dishes at a Chinese restaurant for $2.30 per hour.

Danny DeVito was a formally trained hair stylist before his break on Taxi.

And me? I was waiting tables at a PF Chang’s.

Sometimes it can be easy to forget that everyone starts at the bottom...

So what does this have to do with networking and your business?

Well everyday I get dozens of emails from home business owners who’ve just gotten started in a great opportunity...

They're All At The Bottom, And They're All Asking The Same Thing…
“Mike, I’m a brand new distributors for my company, but I’m on a very limited advertising budget. I need to make money fast.
What should I do first!?”
Well that’s a perfectly reasonable question, and the information I’m about to share with you allowed me to go from waiting tables, to 7-figures in less than 18 months.
But the first thing I want you to know is that you’re really not disadvantaged if you’re building on a budget. I know that might be hard to swallow, but your limited budget only becomes a problem when you try to pursue your business in the same manner as someone who ISN’T on a budget.
Which is exactly what most new business owners do. They throw every last dime they can find into leads, PPC campaigns, postcards, banners, and co-ops, and that’s fine if you’re already making money, but if you’re on a budget, watch out…Spending your limited funds on an advertising campaign is the biggest mistake you can make.
Why?Because if you spend your $500 on leads, PPC, fliers, business cards, or a postcard campaign, you’ll probably get a few prospects, but if you don’t sponsor any of them, you’re back to square one.
There’s no way to leverage the results over and over again in the future.Once you’ve called through your leads, it’s game over! You need more leads!And now you’re forced to spend more money to keep this endless cycle going. It’s like trying to build a business “from pay-check to pay-check”, and only a lucky few will ever come out ahead before they’re financially forced to call it quits.

Commodity investors don't physically buy orange juice and store it at their home. Just like leads, the juice goes bad over time. Instead, they invest in commodities stocks because they can be leveraged over and over again in the future.

So what I’d like to do now is give you an alternative option for one simple reason… It’s the strategy that allowed me to go from waiting tables to 7 figures within 18 months.

So Here’s What You Do…What you want to do is invest your funds into “high leverage” skills and simple activities, which you can use over and over again to quickly and easily produce more leads any time you want… for FREE.
And that’s become very easy to do thanks to some BIG changes which have taken place in the online world recently…If you were going to market online in the past, you had to be a certified search engine expert, or a wizard at pay-per-click with deep pockets full of cash in order to get enough traffic.
It hasn’t been easy, and most new business owners who didn’t grow up with a Play Station in their hands feel intimidated by it. Well thanks to new Web 2.0 sites we have today like MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube, CraigsList, and Ebay, you don’t have to spend big bucks, to tap into this massive flood of FREE traffic… I mean why pay for leads and advertising when you can get them for free!?
And the best part is that you don’t even need to be a computer expert to start using these simple tactics the very same day…
