$1 a day does not sound like much! However, over a 30 day period it would add up $30. That's $30 to put into your GDI business. How far would that $30 go?
1. Business Cards
2. Printing Costs (Flyers, Drop Cards, Etc.)
3. Online Advertising (Pay-Per-Click)
4. Office supplies (Ink, Paper, Etc.)
5. The list could go on and on....
How does one accomplish this? It doesn't take a lot of time or personal sacrifice. To start, all you have to do is take your pocket change at the end of the day and drop it in a jar or coffee can. If you can do that, and you put away about $1 a day, that's just $7 a week. At the end of the month, you'll have about $30. At the end of the month, take it to your local bank and deposit it into your bank account, or roll it up and redeem it for cash.
Here are a few more ideas. Trim your expenses to save more!
Take-out vs. dining out Savings =$45
Manicure less often Savings =$15
Fewer trips to car wash Savings =$12
Total saved for the month = $72
Now that's a whopping $72+ $30=$102 you could put back into your GDI business! These are just examples how you could possibly fund your business when you first get started! To your success!

Hello Frank,
Actually, preparing meals at home would save you more money then take-out/dining out.
This is an excellent topic and everyone should get involved and list what YOU do to cut back on expenses to save for your GDI business!

;)Peace & Blessings Everyone,
Well, one thing I do is wait until sunday, (or whatever day works for U) and cook meals for the whole week and freeze them. For example, spaghetti, I freeze the sauce, and just make the pasta whatever day I make it. I make use of my networking. Another example, I have a buddy from college that works as a supervisor in office services, for a nice bottle of morgan (yes, he has a lil' captain in him) I can get hundreds of nice, quality prints at a time. Just a little of what I do. All in all, it frees' me up to concentrate more on writing ad copy, and talking with prospects, and the occasional bounty hunting cases I recieve.

Most people that have a job are to tired when they get home. They might love the idea that you would clean for them,cook, do the shopping,pick up the close from the cleaners  . If you like cooking have a bake sale. make rib tip sandwiches. Give people a ride from the super market. . Ms.Waters |

We all waste money everyday. If we cut back a little bit.
We can invest more money into are business.
Most of us still have a day job.
Cut back on your lunch expenses.
Make your own lunch.
Also putting in the time and effort.
Hard work will pay off.
A dollar a day will do wonders for your business.
That dollar could turn into thousands.

EXCUSE ME!
But wasn't the whole idea to make some money with GDI?
Do I have to cut out everything that makes my life worthwhile in order to get GDI going by spendiing money on 'iffy' propositions?
That's not what the ads say. They say No Selling. Well, if I have to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of other programs (ie. $150. per mo. recommended by PIF4P), to get a downline, then I say, no way Hosay! (My apologies to those Spanish speaking people here, I know that's not spelled correctly).
Anyway, let's try to get our GDI downlines without having to spend, spend, spend!
If anyone has any ideas on how to get those e-mail addresses without having to spend, let me know.

Interesting comments... Based on your comments - I would say to start with a change in your expectations and your attitude. With GDI or any business YOU need to have a marketing budget to promote YOUR business. I STAY away from systems like the one you mentioned above for several reasons, but you need to do some kind of marketing. You do not NEED to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of programs, some people do and thats OK. I think you will find that as you move away from a POVERTY mentality and you start making money that you will spend more on your business naturally, and this it chalked up to a simple cost of doing business. Think about it - If you were opening a traditional business... Would you have front end and ongoing expense - YES. $100-$200... to me thats cheap rent. FOCUS on What it will take to "break even" then make money - instead of - what is this costing me. If you were spending $50-$100-$200 or more on simple marketing tools but you were making those amounts or more - breaking even then it's simply a wash while you build your business, but You have to take the actions necessary to get yourself there. Front end load your EFFORT. Take a close look at YOUR DAILY ACTIVITY and you will find the answer. I mean this in the right way... STOP BEING CHEAP and START taking action. If you have a "$0" budget for marketing then you have to decide what YOU are willing to do to make up for that. You will have to make up for your lack of marketing budget in EFFORT- Sweat eqity. TALK to lots of people. Invite them - follow-up - Collect a decision (a YES or a NO is perfect) - Then REPEAT the process. Get creative & be here long term... you will have success. Spending money to promote YOUR business is not a bad thing. It is simply a cost of doing business. |
