To make money with no money seems like a difficult task. Of course its not and you know making money with no money is not hard, its just a convenient excuse.

Wealth is a state of mind. During my years of experience as an investor, I have found this one truth to stand out above all others. But the state of mind is not what you think.

Spongy ideas about the power of the mind and working your faith and belief have there place. But its not what I mean. I have discovered that all you need is to choose, when you want to make money with no money. When I say no money, I mean not more then say a few hundred dollars. Everyone has access to this much at least if they were to discover how to compound it rapidly and effectively.

Making money with no money, the thing to remember is that money is numerical in nature. If you can understand that about money, then you can see that $1 is no different then $100,000 Its just a different numerical amount of the same basic unit.

This is simple to understand and easy to implement. You could technically begin with just 5 dollars. Get your calculator out and multiply $5.00 by 1.3 (that translates to 30%) multiply it by 47 weeks. You will have over $1 million dollars in that time if you are able to compound your $5 by 30% 47 times.

So with your five dollars for example, you purchase 10 cans of soft drink from the local buy and save. (Stay with me here) You take these cans and put them in a cooler with ice. You have just added value to your investment objects. You spend half an hour hawking them for full retail price to a bunch of thirsty workers on a construction site on a hot day. You just got $1.00 per cold can. A total profit of $5.00 A 100% profit.

With that 10 dollars, you find something else to buy, ad value to it and re-sell. If you did that 47 times and bought up higher and higher cost items as your funds increased, and made sure each increase was a mere 30% then as your calculator has already told you, you will have well over 1 million dollars within the 47th compound.

Of course, you will graduate to real estate as quickly as possible because that is where the real leverage and compounding is.

It works thoroughly and easily providing you stick to the rules. I know you would enjoy the things a million dollars can buy. Your family would praise you for ever. Its only a specified number of months away.
