Antonio Jones and Quinton Saul
I recently attended a workshop for Small to medium enterprises and made a few electronic notes on my smartphone. The topic was ‘Start a business with no Money”. And I know out of my own experience as an entrepreneur, MD of AR Jones Engineering, that the excuse of the lack of money or funds are used a lot.
Questions like:
“Why don’t you scale you business?” … Not enough funds to grow.
“Why don’t you leave your job to work full time in your business?” … Not enough funds yet.
The reality is that you will never have enough funds at any stage of your business. You have to make use of the resources you have to make it work. I can remember in the first 3 months of my business I was constantly looking for ways to get funds. Luckily and never got a loan or applied for funds, because 1 year later i manage to grow my business without any funds or loan.
