I have a family- So, by that
definition, I am qualified
to speak on this subject.
And let me
say that we have MANY people
who come to our school locations
at nodents.com, who have families
as well, with financial obligations
to meet. As a matter of fact,
I can honestly say I dont
think we've had one person
come to us who was financial
retired or didnt need the
income from our Paintless
Dent Removal or Recon Training
programs..everyone who came
to us was interested in benefiting
from
the processes to draw money
directly from the techniques
learned.
So, IF you
have a family, and are considering
a new business, this topic
is for you.
1) Risk.
Yes, there is risk in ANY
business. This article isnt
about glossing over the obvious
risks. This article is about
assessing the risks and preparing
for all options and occurances.
And when you prepare to start
a business, there are some
things you need to take into
stock..
A) Cash. I dont recommend
that anyone, family or single,
should quit or terminate their
current income position and
go head first into a Recon
Business. I suggest that everyone
start part time, UNLESS you
are working for someone else
and they have guaranteed you
a salary, or if you have extensive
CASH reserves. That means
6 months
worth of cash reserves. That
doesnt mean you will NEED
6 months of cash on hand,
what it does mean is that
you will have some breathing
room for any obstacles that
you may encounter.
B) Plan.
You MUST have a business and
marketing plan in place, with
forecasts, goals and options
for success, with back up
plans. This is probably the
most important part of starting
any business, and should you
need assistance, we will assist
you, free of charge.
C) Part Time
roll out. I always recommend
that a new Paintless Dent
Repair Technician start out
building clientele on a part
time basis, by serving them
around their current job schedule,
ie afternoons, evenings and
or weekends. If Recon is to
be an income supplement, you
can continue on this path..if
it is meant to replace your
current income, then you would
want to establish a solid
book of business prior to
terminating your current employment
or income. You can do this
several ways, and we encourage
you to contact us for specifics.
D) Dont lie
to yourself. SO many people
lie to themselves, and this
can be COSTLY.
Costly in terms of not only
money, but time. And I always
say, you can make a boatload
of money, but you cant make
a drop of time...so heed the
warning seriously.
E) Choose
something you have an interest
in and will enjoy. I dont
care if it is Paintless Dent
Removal or high altitude basket
weaving...be happy, and do
something that will not only
provide for you and your family,
but something that you will
enjoy. The more you enjoy
what you do, the more you
will tend to succeed in your
efforts. Have a great time!
To recap-
You can start a business with
a family, but planning, budgeting
and having a reality check
are all neccessary ingredients
for a successful venture.
Best wishes, and call us 1-888-992-3464
if we can assist you.
Happy Pushing!
