How to Really Start a Business (or Why You Don’t Need Money to Make Money)
创业之道——赚钱无需花钱
Everyone has excuses about why they can’t (actually won’t) earn more money. A common excuse is, "I need money to make money".
对于为什么不能(实际上是不去)挣更多钱，每个人都有自己的理由。其中最常见的要数："想创业挣钱，我得先有足够的钱"。
You and I know that’s a myth (you do know that’s a myth, right?), but most people take it as a truism.
你我都知晓这个理由并不是真的(你不会不知道吧?)，但大多数人却把它当作真理。
A lot of people think they need tens of thousands of dollars to get in on a franchise, or put cash down for a rental property, or buy into some silly multilevel marketing scheme.
许多人认为他们需要一大笔资金去获得特许经营权，或是支付租金，亦或是引入荒诞的多层级营销方案。
The fact is, there are plenty of ways to make money without the need for a pile of cash — as Chris Guillebeau’s recent book, The $100 Startup, covers. The first step is to realize that there are always multiple solutions to any problem, whether it’s making more money, building your retirement nest egg/strongbox, or bartering for broccoli.
但实际上，有很多方法既可以赚钱，又无需大把原始资金，就像克里斯·古里博的新书《100美元起家》所描述的那样。第一步是要意识到凡事总有多种解决之道，无论是赚更多的钱、为日后养老储备资金、还是与人交换西兰花。
