Calling All Broke Dreamers!

Tired of reading about entrepreneurs who claim they started from nothing? Then you find out that they really maxxed out their credit cards to the tune of $25,000, or they got a $50,000 loan from their parents, or they collected $75,000 from friends, or they cashed out a 401k for $100,000?

Those stories don’t help the people who have nothing but a dream, the people who have really, truly great ideas but are just struggling to cover their bills with their paychecks and don’t have enough extra money to invest in a vision. This guide is for us, because entrepreneurship should not be limited to only those with a bankrolling father and a credit score of 800.

Life has hit some of us harder than others; layoffs, divorces, illnesses have left us with bad credit, holes in our resumes, and empty bank accounts, but our dreams are still alive and intact.

There is a way to break free of the 9 to 5 – but know that if you don’t have the bank account or the investors, it will take hard work, commitment and belief in yourself and your dream.

That's why I wrote the eBook, Really, Really Broke Entrepreneurs, and decided to start this blog. This is where we can hash out ideas, look at other successes - what worked for them, what are the lessons learned, and what can we incorporate in our own journey, and I welcome any and all comments from people who have been there and have something helpful to contribute.

This is the best way to get in touch with the resources you need, the mentors you want to learn from, the people who are on the same path as us all. I plan to post interesting articles about entrepreneurship on the cheap, and success stories of people who struggled and made it - on their own, without a trust fund or an SBA loan, because for many of us, that's just not gonna happen!

Welcome to the haven for Really, REALLY broke dreamers. :)
