How do you come up with the money to start your nurse entrepreneur business? Do you borrow it from family and friends or do you use you credit cards?
I say to no to both because there’s a few other ways you can come up with the money you need to get started. Here are just a few that have worked for me:
- Sell those unwanted items you no longer use. This can be done by putting your items up on eBay or craigslist. I know you have tons of stuff that are worth money or at least a few bucks, every little bit helps. Both of these sites are easy to use. EBay will cost you a small amount of money but worth it if you sell something for a great price.
- Get rid of all those magazines subsciptions you no longerread. This goes for organizations you no longer participate in. You could use this money towards your new business.
- If you still work a full or part time job, start putting away a few dollars a week towards your business. Put a dollar away every time it rains and at the end of six months or a year, see what you come up with. You could use this to buy equipment, supplies, books and the list goes on. This is really great if you live in a rainy part of the country.
- Save your change and every month or two cash it in for dollars and put this money into your business fund. I would get $40 to $50 a month and use it to buy paper supplies.
These are some ways I have used to raise money for my business when I was first started out so I thought I would share them with you. I still sell on eBay, but now I do it because it’s fun and the extra money isn’t bad either.
Hope this helps, here’s to your nurse entrepreneur success!
