#233: What is the true expense of launching an Amazon or online business?
Two recent popular facebook discussions in our community prompted me to record this short episode today. One of those discussions revolved around the most common fears shared by many new online business builders and that's the COST and RISK of getting started. The other discussion showed us what the reality of day to day work looks like for so many in our community. My goal for this episode is to convince you that you DO have what it takes, the risks are TINY and the cost is MINIMAL. Success is within your grasp!
