When you need to go into business you need money!

I am trying to get to the bottom of why people say "when you need to go into business you need money" hmm what for? What is Money? Stored human Energy! Well if you are a trader i.e. reseller the money you need would be huge because you need a storage place "facilities" as well as money"facilitation" to buy in bulk, apart from that the product needs a level of demand for you to measure the probability of success, not counting the fact that you need to get out of your shell and meet the market, because you cant be expecting your market to dance to the tune of your need more likely you should dance to the tune of yours. So you would need to put some level of cash and mental effort to get what you want.

Lets imagine i am a mountain climber! The money i need is to buy the basic "safety" tools, then i would have to pay a coach to show me the ropes or prior to finding a coach if as a kid i loved to scout the hills this would have measured my strength, so pretty much when i meet a coach he wouldn't have to treat me as a novice as well as it would reduce the initial cost.

As a youth i was a pilgrim i liked to go into places many didn't venture, for whatever the reasons which could be "mama said No or some unfounded fear or lack of interest" and if all this prevented me now as an adult i find myself facing the need to find myself, do i need to blame anyone for being overly obedient or fearful? This is why i love stubborn kids. They are adventurous and when you go for adventures you definitely would develop a level of self awareness and knowledge of your environment.

It pays no parent to cage their child in the bid to have less hassle for themselves by worrying where their kid is or suiting their kids to be liked by the society because when your kid grows up you will be forced to get them out of the shell you once caged them in, you will now have to coach an adult and this is where many parents start developing a resentment towards the individual they created. So in return you are blaming yourself for the mistake you made in trying to make your life easy as against having a foresight that to push an adult out would be much more harder because of the mental blocks you created as a parent.

I had seen "experienced" a lot and therefore know a lot. Now if you as a person at young age never made mistakes or defiled anyone how would you say you know because one thing for sure you cant see anything behind closed doors.

People say when you open a business you need money, money for what?
Business is different from trading it needs creativity, skills "craft", knowledge. In these basics only the craft needs money, besides your craft may just require soft tools not hard tools; for instance business consultants need just their brain.

Don't create imaginary enemies, climb that mountain from the bottom and as you go you feel the rocks, climb down prepare again for the next step and before you know it you will be ready with all your gears on and no need to pack what you don't need.

Imagine me when i was a new mom, before i had my first child, i had drawn the list of everything i wanted to have around me to make my life easy and show off that my child is all dolled up. I bought every little trinket but what i didn't know is that when you have a baby well wishers will send you gifts that would last you for 9months ahead, apart from that your family continuously sends you stuff for them till they are 5. I had to start sharing off what i bought, garage sales! everyone buys cute stuff even better than the mom and it is the same in business. The money you need comes when the baby incubating stage has ended.

Start exploring businesses that don't need heavy cash, measure your strengths, tap into my brains, and lets find creative ways to reduce the cost/liabilities and make money/returns.
