INTRODUCTION

JUST IMAGINE:

Imagine a life that is job-free. You don’t work for someone else, only for yourself. Everything you ever learned in life you use to make money for you. You have so many diverse ways to make a living without ever putting your foot at the employer door or worrying about a job. You have full control over your time and life: how and when to work or not to work, when to take time off, take a vacation, spend time with your family and loved ones and choose your own dream work. Most people yearn for such freedom and consider it a luxury that may never be available to them at all. In fact, it is a luxury. The good news is that it is equally available to all who truly want it, not just wishing it.

This luxury is an absolute possibility for almost all people of various adult age groups, backgrounds and socio-economic categories. This is not a mere dream. Every one of us posses many skills, talents and experiences in life that are unique and each one of these experience can be used to generate ongoing and never ending income for us.

Once you have the taste of working for yourself and making money from what you already know, you may never think of having a job again. Freedom has no price and financial independence has no match. You can start walking on this path right now and right here.

Who Is This Book Written For?

This book is written for you and people like you. People who want to become financially independent and to work for themselves, people who know that they deserve a better financial life than they have now, but their current circumstances have put a wall of limitation around them.

I have developed a unique concept for home based businesses, although the idea is not new at all. In this concept the capital is your skills, not money. I want to show you how you can make money from your existing skills. Doesn't matter what you do in life, you have specific skills that have a huge market out there. You may be a housewife who has not worked outside for years, an immigrant who cannot find a job in your area of expertise, a factory worker feeling that no one needs your skills anymore or perhaps an injured worker thinking that there is no meaningful employment after injury. Or perhaps you are on social assistance feeling pushed around by government cuts and thinking that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Or, you may be currently employed and highly paid, but not happy with your job. Perhaps you are among the millions of people who cannot find a decent job because they are 50+.

Regardless of whom you are and what you know, I can coach you how to get out of the vicious cycle and start a prosperous life. The capital required for the businesses I suggest in my books in the LIFE WITHOUT JOBS series is your conviction for success and the skills you possess. Since everything needed for these business ideas are in your disposal, you should be able to start immediately without wasting any time.

I would like to show you how you can build your own business for almost nothing. The ideas and techniques discussed in this book and my other books will enable you to start any business from a long list of opportunities by just investing your time and energy. In my other eBooks there are many businesses, discussed in much details, that each could be started for under a $100.00, which you will be spending on registration and some promotions.

The reason I chose these businesses is that they are easy to start without investing a lot of money plus I helped many individuals who successfully started them in the past. However, if you have the resources and wish to invest them in your own business, there are many other businesses similar to these ones. In fact all of the businesses mentioned in my books can also be started in a more elaborate fashion.

I have worked on the assumption that you either don't have a lot of money or, considering the present economic uncertainty do not want to risk them on a business that you haven't tried before. Based on this assumption, I picked dozens of business ideas for you that can be started with no investment and yet they can generate as much money for you as any other business. Since all of these ideas are investment free, you have the freedom to pick up anyone of them, try it and if you don't like it or it doesn't suit your personality, you can leave it and start with another idea. The good news is that you will lose nothing in the process except some time.

Imagine investing thousands of dollars in a business and finding out a few weeks later that you don't like it. Believe it or not, thousands of people experience this situation each year in Canada and in the United States. In addition to other factors, the lack of interest in the business on the part of the entrepreneur plays a significant role in the failure of a new venture. I don't want you to be in this category.

If you follow my methods step by step, before starting your business, it is most likely that you will know what you really like. You will have a better sense of your strengths, desires, aspirations and financial ambition.

Just in case you make a judgment error, your losses will be minimal. Since you haven't invested huge amounts in your dream, you can always get out of the business easily and try something else. If things do not go according to your wishes, you have plenty of chances to bring the operation to a halt without losing your shirt.

Psychologically, it is much easier to re-bounce from a failed adventure, if you haven't incurred heavy financial losses. You can easily start another business in no time. This security will encourage you to implement your financial independence plans instead of procrastinating them indefinitely for fear of losing your savings.

Keep in mind that these options should in no way be interpreted as a mean of opting out from your business prematurely. I do not want to encourage you to jump from one branch of the tree to another, starting one thing today, and as soon as the work pressure builds up, quitting the business and going to something else, with the false hope that the second one may be easier and may require little work.

Your own business is not going to free you from work. In fact, especially at the beginning, it will most likely involve more work. Once you establish the enterprise, only then can you count on fewer hours. Many of you would agree with me that it is not the work itself which most people resend. Working conditions and the kind of work are the ones that encourage or discourage people to stay at a job or leave it. I will assist you to find something you really like and once that happens, I can guaranty that you will be enjoying every hour you put into it.

My goal in life has always been to help the largest number of people achieve their dream of becoming job-free. I have followed this commitment almost all my adult life and would like to continue it. When I was thinking of writing this book I asked myself: How can I assist people from all walks of life to start their own business in an affordable and investment free way? After intensive research, talking to numerous small business owners and analysing hundreds of business concepts, not to mention my over 25 years of experience in setting up hundreds of successful businesses for my clients, I prepared the book in its current format.

Although everyone can read this book and benefit from it, its contents are intended for people who really want to change their financial situation for better. The business concepts included here are universally applicable to all individuals who intend to work for themselves. The message here transcends the age, gender, race and socio-economic barriers. It can help all people equally, provided they are committed to the dream of economic independence and to freedom from the 9 to 5 jobs.

How to Live a Job-Free Life

Living a life that your income generation is not dependent on an employer but your own efforts is both appealing and frightening. Those who wish to have a steady income, even if it is a small amount, and a place to go to for work may find the concept of being on their own and responsible for generating their own work and income, may not like to be job-free. They would rather have a structured life and a predetermined schedule to follow.

For many others just the mere mention of a job-free life and working for themselves brings the tears of joy to their eyes. They are willing and prepared to even live with less money if they can be free from the boss’s dictates.

For some of these people if such freedom can be achieved while they stay home and work at their chosen schedules, is a paradise on earth.

This book is written for the last group of people and since you are reading it now you most likely belong to this group. Together we will patiently follow the journey to a job-free life.

What You Know Is a Business

I hope you are convinced that what you already know can be turned into a profitable home based business. In fact, because of the modern technology, you can run and manage most businesses from anywhere in the world. The physical, geographical and time restrictions of yesterday are long gone. Your customers are not restricted to one geographic location or one linguistic group.

In this book, I have intentionally focused on localizing your business ideas so you can physically see how easy it is to make money locally. When you how easy it is to make money in your own community from what you already know, it is as easy to apply these principles to a globalized business, which should be your ultimate goal.

Also, many of the traditional methods of advertising and promotion are also used so you can overcome your fear and self-doubt. Once you become aware of the fantastic skills you as a human being have nothing can stand between you and what you wish to achieve in life. By learning the fundamentals of human communication through direct contact with
