HOME BIZ FOR PEANUTS!

I received an email from Stone Evans this morning, you know, "The Home Biz Guy". If you haven't signed up for his newsletter or ordered Plug in Profit you should go there now.
In this newsletter he is addressing the beginning entrepreneur who wants to fire the boss and start a Home Based Business on a shoestring budget. He makes quite a few really valid points.

A lot of newbies start out with the need for a low budget and sometimes a no budget start, and usually have to stay with their current income source. (The Day Job). They are ready to take the plunge but wish (and sometimes need)to do it cautiously without upsetting the delicate balance of their financial future. The good news he says is that it can happen. Starting out small at part-time level and eventually when safety rears it's beautiful head and you can see the tunnel clearly, you can leave that day job and stay full time with your HBB.(Hone Based Business)

Stone suggests that if you are one of the cautious ones don't keep putting it on the back burner, start out small and build carefully from their. Bring those dreams to the front burner, it's your turn. He offers advice about searching out a business model that "will deliver a steady and repeat business."

His suggestions for HBB's are as follows:
