Publisher's Synopsis
Why I Wrote This Book Millions of people that would have joined the millionaires club, are held back, always by one factor - lack of capital. About twenty years after I started my own business with less than One thousand Naira (N1,000), ($8), I speak from the vantage position of experience. The principles in this book have worked in my own life, both in business and ministry. That is the first reason why I wrote this book, the principles of starting business with little or no money works. I have been privileged to coach several thousands of small-scale business owners, civil servants, unemployed graduates and students since 1994. It has been my pleasure to see young millionaires emerge, after 5 to 6 years, starting with practically nothing but an ironclad determination to start where they are. These living witnesses are the second reason why I wrote this book. I have discovered that the hardest currency is not the Pound Sterling or American Dollar. The hardest currency is neither Euros nor Japanese Yen. The hardest currency is an IDEA, whose time has come. Every human mind plays host to at least 10,000 ideas daily. Some are good and some very bad. Motivational masters and social psychologists estimate that there are four major ideas, that greet every man yearly. Any of these ideas when developed, is capable of changing the economic story of the individual positively, forever. I have presented 50 business idea that ordinary folks like you and I can develop and change our economic fortunes forever. Trust me! I have developed one or two, and teach several of them to thousands of people in the last twenty years, since I discovered them. This is my number three reason for writing this book. I started my business on a small scale. I started with sharing an office space, because I could not afford a full month rent. By the grace of God, using the principles in this book, our business later occupied five offices. Two years later, we employed eight graduates. This book shows you how to start small, it also shows you how not to remain small. This is my fourth reason for writing this book. You will learn the power of initiative and daring.
