Raising $10,000.00 In 30 Days


How can you raise $10,000 in 30 days? (1) Open up the Yellow Pages, (2) pick 50 businesses to offer your product or services, (3) write up a one page proposal, (4) find one business among the 50 on your list with which you can draw up a contract that offers 30 days of your services at a 20% discount; and (5) take the completed contract to your bank and ask for a 50% loan for 30 days against the contract. Use the 50% loan to complete the job and collect your $10,000, with which you then pay back the loan and ask the bank for a line of credit (after depositing the proceeds from your contract in your bank account). Then repeat the process. Try it. It works.

Remember: the most valuable asset you have in business is creativity, and the most powerful asset is persistence.

Here's how you do it: come up with an idea and get started today.
