If You Need Money Now
Start small. Solve one problem for one customer.
You do not need a giant company, expensive office, complicated website or massive investment to start creating income.
1. Find a Problem
Identify something
people already need
solved.
2. Find the Customer
Determine exactly
who has that problem.
3. Make an Offer
Explain clearly
what you can do
and what it costs.
4. Get Paid
Make the sale,
deliver the work
and learn from the customer.
Four Questions Every Business Must Answer
Business gets simpler when you answer the basics.
What Problem?
What problem
are you solving?
Who Needs It?
Who has that problem
badly enough
to pay for a solution?
Why You?
Why should the customer
choose you
instead of somebody else?
How Do You Get in Front of Them?
How will the customer
find you,
hear about you
and buy from you?
You do not need a 60-page business plan to answer four questions.
Start with the customer.
Start with the problem.
Start with the sale.
Money Is More Than Income
Making money matters. Keeping and using it well matters too.
Income
What comes in.
Cash Flow
What remains after money goes out.
Assets
What you own that has economic value.
Net Worth
What you own minus what you owe.
Understand Debt Before Debt Controls You
Credit and debt are financial tools. They are not wealth.
A high credit score can be useful. Borrowing can be useful. Debt can also become expensive and destructive when it is misunderstood.
DEBT
Debt & Rights
Learn debt types, statutes of limitation, collections, debt buyers, judgments, garnishment and credit-reporting rules.
FICO
Credit & FICO
Learn how credit scores work, what affects them, how to build credit and why your credit score is not your wealth score.
Real Estate
Treat real estate like a business—not a lottery ticket.
Real estate can create income and build equity, but only when the numbers, financing, operations and risks make sense.
Learn the Market
Understand rents, values, expenses and local demand before buying.
Run the Numbers
Property value does not automatically mean positive cash flow.
Section 8 Curriculum
Learn vouchers, landlord requirements, inspections, rent calculations, SAFMR, financing and tenant screening.
The New American Dream
Build self-sufficiency.
The old formula was simple: school, job, house, retirement. SSBS teaches a broader goal: build the ability to take care of yourself and create options.
Income Independence
Develop more than
one way to earn.
Financial Independence
Reduce dependence
on debt
and fragile cash flow.
Asset Ownership
Build things
that have value
beyond your next paycheck.
Personal Control
Create more choices
over how you live,
work
and use your time.
The objective is not to quit every job tomorrow.
The objective is to build enough skills,
income,
knowledge
and assets
that one employer,
one paycheck
or one financial emergency
does not control your entire life.
