Many people told me that they do not have the money to start something. This is partly true. The same time, I am also seeing this as lack of passion and interest to make the idea into reality.
No doubt certain business requires high capital expenditure. You can always start small. When I created the Better Dining site, I just have a three years old Ubuntu Linux machine. All the application that I used are part of the Linux bundle. Except for the hardware, the software that I used are free! The most expensive part of the setup is actually signing up with sitesell for web hosting and Search Engine Optimization. That cost 299 USD. The only running cost that I have is the internet connection.
Yes! I have not been making a lot of money through the site. Yet, I had a great time working on the site. I have learned a lot about web publishing writing up on topics that I like. Creating and researching content for the site is not work for me. Rather it is just something that I do outside of my regular work hours. Working on the site has become such a habit that I will uncomfortable if I miss a day.
Starting today, ask yourself. What is your passion? With passion comes creativity. That passion may someday help you to put food on the table.
