JUST START: How to Launch a Business with No Money and No Time
Share
If you’ve been thinking of starting a business—but don’t have capital, time, or even a clear idea—this post is for you. I’m not here to give you the fluff. I’m here to give you the truth, based on my real journey as an entrepreneur. If you want to grow a business or finally take the first step, don’t skip this.
The Untold Story of How I Started My First Business
Let me take you back to my early college days. I was known for building small inventions—simple, creative projects that, unexpectedly, got featured repeatedly on national TV. Channel 2, Channel 5, Channel 7, even Channel 9. I didn’t know what made them so appealing, but they attracted attention.
One day, my uncle—who had seen me on TV—asked me a question that changed my life:
“Can you install a CCTV system in my house?”
Now here’s the truth: I had zero knowledge about CCTV systems at the time. But I said yes. No second thoughts. I had no skills, no experience, and no resources—but I had commitment.
So, while I was still studying, I took on the challenge. That first project took me not months—but two full years to finish. Yes, two years. It was hard. Painfully hard. But it became the foundation of my entrepreneurial life.
The lesson?
👉 You don’t need to be ready. You just need to start.
The Dangerous Myth: “I’ll Start When I’m Ready”
Most people fall into the trap of over-preparing. They want to master everything first. They want guarantees. They want certainty. But entrepreneurship doesn’t work like that.
If I had waited until I was “ready,” I would never have started that CCTV business. I would’ve just gone abroad to work. That “yes” changed the trajectory of my life.
I wasn’t qualified. I wasn’t experienced. But I took the leap—and I learned everything along the way.
And now, here I am, building multiple companies, helping thousands of entrepreneurs, and turning my mission into a national movement.
Your First Job as an Entrepreneur? SELL.
If you want to start a business, stop overthinking and start selling.
Don’t wait for capital. Don’t wait for equipment. Don’t wait for a perfect plan. You can literally start selling anything:
- Old socks
- A list of jokes
- Your handwritten notes
- Freelance services
Selling is the real starting line of entrepreneurship. If you’re afraid to sell, you’re not ready to run a business. It’s not about having a storefront or an office—those will come later. It’s about learning how to create value and offer it to someone in exchange for money.
No Product? No Problem. Sell with Nothing.
You don’t need to own the product. You don’t need to be the expert. You just need to be inside the game.
When opportunity knocks, say YES—even if you’re not ready.
Once you’re inside the transaction, inside the process, you’ll figure it out. You’ll research. You’ll learn. You’ll fail. But you’ll grow.
The Lies That Keep You From Starting
Let me break a few common myths:
-
“I need to learn more before I start.”
Wrong. You’ll learn faster by starting. -
“I need to buy tools and equipment first.”
Wrong. Sell first. Buy later. -
“I need a plan.”
No. You need momentum.
Your real education begins after you start. Not before.
The Simple Formula for Starting a Business
Sell something. Anything.
Learn as you go.
Solve problems as they arise.
Commit before you're ready.
Keep moving.
You don’t need a store. You don’t need a website. You don’t need an office. Just start selling something aligned with your life—your skills, your passions, your network.
Eventually, the right product, the right brand, and the right business model will emerge. But it starts with motion. With action.
With saying YES.
Final Words: You Are One “Yes” Away
Entrepreneurship is not about being perfect—it’s about being willing. Willing to make mistakes. Willing to commit without certainty. Willing to say yes, even when you’re scared.
So if you’re asking me:
"How do I start a business with no money?"
My answer will always be:
👉 Just start.
👉 Just sell.
👉 Just say yes.
And everything else? You’ll figure it out.
