Credit to Help

Have a great idea for a Home Based business but no start up cash? Should you use credit to Help?



"It saves a lot of trouble if,
instead of having to earn money and save it,
you just go and borrow it."
-Sir Winston Churchill

Wise words indeed! If taken in the right context. This section discusses the practical use credit can play in starting a Home Based Business. Whether you already have savings, but would like to keep them invested or have no savings but know that the time is right to make your move, credit certainly can play a great role in your plans.

I frequently use credit to help with a small business, especially if you can finance a no payment no interest term. It can be a real advantage to have a piece of equipment you need now and make the money over the term period to pay for it. If you find that the business really wasn't there for that item, you can always sell it and because of it's fairly new condition you will get top dollar so if there is a loss it will be minor.

Would you like to buy a better computer to start an internet business? You know having quality tools = better efficiency = profitability. How much money can you save a month? If you are already stretched on a budget, then you likely have $50.00 or less a month. You could save it and about 3 years later you would have enough to get a decent computer, a good web hosting package and the information material you need to start your business.



"If you don't want prosperity to falter,
then Buy, Buy, Buy - on credit, of course.
In other words,
the surest way of bringing on a rainy day
is to prepare for it."
-Joseph Wood Krutch

Would using credit to help be a better option? Just for the sake of easy math, let's say for $2000.00 you can get a new computer, 1 year of web hosting with a domain, informational ebooks and some personal development material. You purchase it all with a credit card or small loan so you can have it now. Factor in the average learning curve for this type of business (2-3 months)and here are your two scenarios.

As you start to make money you re-invest some into paying your balance down faster and realistically in 6 months to a year it is paid. In the meantime you have learned new skills and continue to re-invest in more tools and make more money. As well as saving your original $50.00 a month. Not to mention these were business expenses so you will be able to apply a percentage of their value against your taxable income.

Sounds great! What if it doesn't work out for me? Not every business is for everybody. That's why I recommend you ask youself, what do you want? But for the sake or argument again let's look at it. Let's say within the first 30 days you decide to quit. If you purchased your web site and hosting through site build it they will refund you the full $300.00. no questions asked. After 30 days the refund is pro rated monthly but still refunded. Plus you can even keep your domain name.

Now let's say you purchased the sedona method for your personal development and received their 4 courses for the price of one deal at $388.00, it has a full 6 month money back guarantee. You also bought Google Cash 3rd edition $67.00 and Brian Wynn's The Millionaires' Leaugue for $47.00. Both these ebooks carry a no questions 60 day money back guarantee. That leaves you with the computer. If you bought a new iMac 20-inch 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or a MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - White and decided you were not going to keep the computer, you could easily sell either on for close to the brand new value. Simply do the math to realize that any loss will be so minor that it is hard to justify not taking the chance.

Using credit to help get what you need now or using credit to help you keep your savings invested can be a good plan. So then why not try something new? Did you know that if you were to buy the above products ( *you may not need a new computer.) with the intention of starting a profitable business and allowed yourself the time to learn without trying to re-invent the wheel, you could make a very lucrative income from it and in a relatively short period of time (6 months - 2 years) you could be working full time from your home, or anywhere you can connect to the internet.



"The twin killers of success are
impatience and greed."

At the end of the day it is YOU that decides what you want to do and if you want to use credit to help you do it. The above was written to stimulate thought and to inspire you to think outside of the box when it comes to analyzing an opportunity. Remember, even though I may recommend the above products, individual results vary because individuals and their ambition levels also vary.

Whatever road you take, plan your trip and don't hurry. Never feel pressured into trying something and if your pushed for an answer, make sure it is no, then walk away. I have yet to find any opportunity that was so time sensitive that it had to be acted on at the moment. Information and time along with persistence are the keys to success.
