It's often declared smugly by people who believe they are sharing one of the indisputable truths of life that "it takes money to make money." That bit of "everybody knows" conventional wisdom is absolutely not true, and often cripples potential entrepreneurs before they even attempt acting upon what could be a winning idea. Not only can you start a business with zero dollars, I have documented success helping my clients make money even before they have a finished product or before they have spent a single penny launching their business or marketing their product! There are only two proven strategies for business success: (1) earn more, (2) spend less. Many business advisers will spend an inordinate amount of time focusing on how to generate more and more sales while ignoring the complementary strategy of spending less! In the internet age, I can assure you that just about everything--every product or service imaginable--that has a price tag attached to it, also has a zero-cost option. What I offer my clients are the most cost effective (i.e., cheapest) options available for entrepreneurs who don't have a lot of money to spend, or who are simply chronically cheap, like me! In this report, I'm going to share with you the tools of my trade: the resources, websites, services and software that allow me to write, design and publish my books, design and code websites, succeed at SEO, and generate sales--all for $0 or very close to it! (Except where footnoted, I never suggest anything I've not personally tested, tried or benefited from)

What is a belief system? A belief system is a set of ideas about the physical, mental and spiritual components of life, and what you hold to be true about yourself, others, the world you live in, the reason for your existence, and why you are here. The reason for having a belief system—any belief system—is to help you navigate and negotiate your way effectively through life. Life is simpler provided you have the “correct” belief system. The correlation between having the correct belief system and with happiness and success in life is simple: People with a valid belief system—one that is in synch with reality—make better decisions. Without the correct assessment of reality, the world will not make sense, and you will make poor survival decisions. The process of education and maturing is (or at least should be) about developing an increasingly truthful, effective and “correct” belief system. Sadly, not all belief systems are created equal. Some belief systems are empowering while some belief systems are limiting. Some are so utterly out of synch and out of touch with reality that they lead to utter disappointment and failure. So, how do you determine which kind of belief system you have?
