Mara Glazer: How To Find The Money Whenever You Want

For 99.9% of the people reading this article, there has probably been at least one moment in the span of your business’s existence where you really wanted to invest in something, whether it be a product, program, piece of technology, or even a coach, and you felt like you couldn’t afford it.

Ever say to yourself… “If only I had the money!”

Yep, thought so!

Here’s the thing… if you really want something… and want it bad… you will figure out how to get the money.

Not having the money is total B.S.!

If you are really committed to the success of your biz, and making it “work”, you can find the money to get what you want in your business whenever you want it.

You NEED to have money to make money in business.  No business survives without some sort of funding.

When I first started my business I funded it off of my savings account, plus sold seven VIP coaching days at $10k a pop to get in some more cash in fast!  If I hadn’t done that I wouldn’t be where I am today.

What I am going to share with you today are a few ideas about how to find funding for your biz so that you can start to invest in whatever it is you need to grow.

• A J-O-B – Many entrepreneurs want to start a biz so they can leave their job, however jobs give you the security of having good consistent cash flow.  If you need to, keep your job until you get your biz off the ground.
• Tapping Into Your Saving And Other Investments – This is exactly what I did and I don’t regret it for a second.  It gave me what I needed to jump-start my biz and the return is much higher than any interest I would receive from a bank.
• Credit Cards – When people think of credit cards they think of debt and interest… and it scares them.  When I think of credit cards I think of an easy way to fund your dream. Now don’t get carried away… be smart about how you use them by keeping track of your spending and having a plan to pay them off, but when used right they can definitely work in your favor.
• Sell Your Sh*t – Two of my very close biz friends generated their funding by selling their stuff on Ebay and now they both have multi-million dollar businesses.  Sell off the stuff you don’t need and use the money as an investment.
• Tighten Up Your Budget – I bet if you looked at the money you spend every month to live, there are things you are buying that you just don’t need.  And while I am all for having a fun and fulfilling life, you may need to make a few sacrifices in the beginning to get what you really want in the end.  Take a good deep look at your monthly spending and see what can go (daily trips to Starbucks perhaps?!)

So the next time you think you can’t afford something to help you build your biz, ask yourself this exact question:  “Where can I find the money NOW to get what it is I want?”
