The #1 excuse that wantrepreneurs make for not starting a business is that they don't have the resources: They don't have the money, they don't know how to code, they don't know the right people, etc. In this episode, I show you how to start ANY business with less than $100. I'm going to show you how I would start a tech startup like Uber, a fast-food business like Chipotle, or a clothing company like Patagonia.

From 22 to 26 I was working day jobs. I worked at Intel, then at Facebook, and finally at Mint. I had some cool experiences, but overall I was mostly unhappy because I wanted to start my own business, sooooo…. I kept getting fired or quitting early.
