Hi, Simon. My dream is to re-endeavour a crack at second level teaching here in Ireland. The thing is, and I am not sure if this is defeating the purpose, but I will need around 50 or 60 grand to do it. I love your Mantra/Vibes. However, I have always been acutely aware of the reality check here in Ireland: Money. You really need Money to chase dreams or to get ahead, and that is wrong, in my view. I want to teach the children that their future is not determined by either the Junior or Leaving Cycle Programme here in Ireland and to really show off a personality [Myself], who is meat and bone, living proof of that. A long post, granted, but you get my drift.
Honestly didn’t think something like this was even possible but once you read the ebook titled void of power it just changes everything you’ve gotta see what it’s about
This came at a perfect time! Me and my best friend have just started our travel business venture. We don’t have much money, however our goal is to market properly. We have travelled together since 2017 throughout Europe and Asia and we constantly get asked how to do it and fund it. Therefore we thought why not create a business that helps likeminded people how to budget and travel with all the best tips and tricks
Love this, my oldest son would really love your idea! He's leaving the UK to move to Thailand and taking his start-up business there! Good luck, go for it x
I don‘t believe in coincidences. Somehow the universe is telling me something. I‘ve never thought about creating a business. I‘m a 22 year old student now. My gut feeling is telling me that I should study this topic. Simon! Thank you for sharing such valuable information for free. Now I‘m going to get out of my comfort zone and even though I struggle financially, I’m going to buy your book now!
@@dennislauritsen2590 wow thank you for your motivation! But what should I do? I don‘t have many skills besides playing the violin (11.000h experience) and being a musician. I LOVE playing in orchestra and being a leader. Also I HATED going to school. Worst time of my life. Such a time waste, choking my talent and potential and unconditional curiosity. So one of my dreams is to revolutionize the school system. That every single child knows their exact talents and passion. I think AI can help asking quizzes. Quizzes even in form of fun games. The playing style ingame can be analyzed. What are the strengths, why is someone spending more time in this particular section of the game? I know that EVERY child is hungry to learn. Bursting willing to know and explore. Our school system successfully creates perfect slaves who behave and say yes to anything. I want to create futuristic modern schools where children actually WANT to go in and learn lifelong. Maximizing their true potential and being authentic. Learning should be FUN. As much as playing video games - if not even more exciting. How can I make that happen, any ideas?! At least I can try to learn and gain knowledge in the business world.
I have a dream and I know that one day it will be true. I am really motivated by your comment. I have commitment to myself that I will make it true. Thanks
Hey Simon! I'm at a point in my life where I can't be anything but a founder, an intrepeneur. Just wanted to say that if I ever be a successful entrepeneur and business man will be also thank to you man. I have days up and days down, but watching your videos is a boost for my mood and my confidence. You make me think I'll eventually make it. Sending you lots and lots of love, I hope I can give you back everything you are giving us one day. Thanks !!
I'm on the verge of investing myself, not money. Money stuff will come later! My goal is to take the business across the U.K and create many business owners who are like me... might be just a dream, but thinking about it really makes me smile from the inside out 😊
This is the exact video I needed at the exact time I needed it! I was struggling to find motivation for my business idea since it requires significant starting capital. I can’t wait to rewatch, take notes, and put this into practice!
Hi Simon, I have just recently found your videos. The business idea that I think I have been training to do my whole life is sustainable, organic, holistic, ecosystem farming that benefits and respects both people and animals. The only thing that held me back my whole life is timing and fear. I have been led study all sorts of seemingly unconnected interests and technology. I say unrelated but I am only now understanding how it all fits together. I live in rural Ireland on a small plot of land. I am launching my business in the next month or so. Your videos have been very helpful. Blessings.
Create a product, create buzz around it, let people pre-order and then use the money to produce and scale. No excess inventory and no huge investment upfront.
Started my Amazon selling business for like £1000, which is pretty much nothing, managed to turn it into a 6 figure profit a year business in 4 years. + building other incomes. Keep pushing and turning that money around people, the compounding will catch up!
@@Mrhaydentv Hii can u help me by saying what businees u did in Amazon ? I hope u would have not started it in india ! It will be a great help if u help me out sir ! Im so much into hope and this business is my only last option I have left right now
Another amazing video Simon. Thanks for sharing your wisdom! People need to be educated because our school system is failing people. I want my kids to be educated like this on the opportunities of life
Thank you simon for explaing in simple words and for how you are conveying a story its intresting to hear and not boring. need to hear that - having respect for people asking for help and making us understand business A-Z.
Thank you, I’m starting right now. I really hope everything works out, but I feel like I won’t be able to go on if it doesn’t. I feel like I have to do this; otherwise, I won’t be myself. And I’m not afraid-after losing all my savings and property because of the war in Ukraine, there’s not much left that scares me. The most important thing was surviving and escaping that hell. Now, as I start a new life from scratch with just fifteen hundred dollars in my pocket, it’s all or nothing. ✊🏻
Thanks Simon…I’ve definitely started learning from you. 2 things came to my paranoid mind: 1) wouldn’t investors expect me to know more than I do about starting or running a business, and wouldn’t I therefore risk looking stupid? 2) Couldn’t the investors say my business idea is poor / not for them, and then go and steal my idea?! Thank you again.
My problem with asking "family and friends" is that one, they don't have enough money to give, two, they're very skeptical, three, I don't have that great of a relationship with them. Oh but they'll all come out of the woodwork when I do have my own money, watch.
Actually my first customers were family and friends. What's more, they are still coming back to me because they know they can count on me. But I do still have a problem, I underestimate myself and I think that's the only thing that blocks me all the time.
Researching an investor’s past investments is key. Tailor your pitch to align with their interests and values to increase your chances of securing funding.
Bravo Simon. I can see you are taking good care of yourself. You look great. Keep it up. Your body is your temple. As always. Great knowledge share. You are appreciated.
I really liked your content; you blow my mind to some points of my career. I've been working as an editor for over 5 years, and now I'm looking to expand and work internationally. I started creating content about editing to see if I can attract clients, and I hope it works out, haha. Thanks🙌
Content is so good that I had to subscribe immediately. I am doing dropshipping because it will always be viable since people need to buy things. If you can find good products and make your store appealing, you will be really successful. My strategy is to use some product search tools (my favorite is using a little bit of winnerzila. I love how affordable their lifetime deal is, I paid it off in one week). If someone is wondering, my favorite niches are pets and electronics, you can always have good money in these.
Anyone interested, just let know. Is risky. What I am trying out is in the test phase. It needs funds for that. So if there's some small dollars around you probably might not need, this is one thing for you
Straight away the first step I live in a area where 90% of us are struggling just keep the house going. Working tough jobs for bare minimum wage I don't have the luxury to ask for a fiver never mind asking for 10k
i have been inspired and moved by your content and your mission and values and made me push my own business idea. I wanna pitch it to you when the time comes.
I love the content on this video as always, Simon! But I do have to say that the title should be “how to get funds to build/grow your business”, as there are dozens of business models and dreams that can be built without even asking for those $10k to family and friends. I do think, Simon, that doing a separate video sharing these business models and creating without needing crowdfunding could be a fantastic idea to motivate millions to start regardless of money. Again, I love the message and appreciate the information provided, but as someone who started his own business with actually no money and building it up through sales, free trials and figuring things out with a business model that allowed it, I do see how many people can get overwhelmed and paralyzed watching this and thinking “shit, now I need to get at least 10K from somewhere else” other than just starting. I love your content and your mission, and if there’s anything we can do to collaborate or help you putting this part 2 video together, let me know Simon! Thank you again! -Oswaldo from Mexico.
I watched the video and… well you certainly have the gift of the gab. You said so much stuff that sounded so inspiring… but I’m pretty sure there’s a name for the sort of scheme where you borrow money so you have money and can attract investment to pay previous investors… the name escapes me now. Sorry for the sarcasm there, you genuinely seem to want to help people, and I do admire it. Even if I don’t have the personality to sell my dream like that.
Simon I love your videos but can you do one of these style of videos based on a service business, not a product. These videos are brilliant but I think every time they are referenced to a product like a hoodie. Do something like a car washer that will test you and also I think help a lot of people that need this question answering.
Hi Simon, thank you so much, love the videos and have followed since the start, so many of the topics you speak about have resonated in my normal job and helped me shape and perceiver in testing and trying different ideas. Following these has helped me build up my current endeavour which I’m really struggling with just now as trying to go from online to bricks and mortar is so difficult, one thing that’s not really talked about is the doors and opportunities that are just not available without being a bricks and mortar store. And would really like if you could provide guidance on the process of getting a shop the pitfalls and how to get negotiating and contracts right!
0:07 Starting with No Money. Dear Simon this is a comment I left on one of your other videos. Maybe you see it and you give me a Push in the Right Direction. Stay Blessed! My Dream is to start a Coaching Business. I deeply care about people. Especially about people who suffered Mentally through illnesses, trauma, depression, or manipulation. I would love to spread my Knowledge of how I got on the other side of darkness...i suffered from most of the things i mentioned and yet came out of it 100% healthy and with ZERO bitterness. I want to help and empower others ....but something is holding me back...I need that final push to do PUBLIC SPEAKING...maybe A Ted Talk...I don't know what I am waiting for ??? maybe it is, that deep down in my heart I am Scared of failing my Mission in Life....the Project of my heart ...To Lessen Suffering in this WORLD.
Simon, if I were to approach an angel investor with a great idea... you said not to ask for money but to ask for help, so what might I include in my initial correspondence? I would outline my idea and ask them if they could spare the time to give me advise? ...avoiding the topic of investment completely?
How I wish I was more connected and have had more open minded people themselves. That's the same message I shared with you in my message to you Mr. Squibb. People used to trust, having finished my apprenticeship with good results and being recommended to big organizations, my dad never allowed to even change his car battery, that's how funny😅
I have a dream to start a "Thank You" Crew, with kids 16 and younger, that are willing to get out after school and help the elderly, and the sick, by doing their chores around the house or their yard work. This business will be built on donations to help churches and the homeless, the community,etc. Also, the kids will be rewarded twice a year by taking them to Disney World, Six Flags, Water Parks, etc. But I don't have the funds to get their shirts made, the cleaning supplies, the tools and equipment needed. I believe this idea would go global and give the kids an opportunity to help others instead of staying home playing games, or watching TV all day. Of course all trips will be chaperoned by parents or relatives of each child. Parents can also help too. My gkids think this idea is awesome 😎 what do you think?
I love your videos and encourage motivation!! I need a partner to start a business in heating, air conditioning, ventilation, and refrigeration it’s a great business anywhere everywhere people need HVACR. Hello from California👨🏽🔧👨🏽🔧🫡 ✊🏼🙏🏼
Literally in the middle of all of this. Bought domain names, got social media handles, 3 trademarks in the opposition period and brainstorming crowdfunding options. There's a lot to take in on this journey but if I don't start now, when will I?
Sir, thank you so much for all of your valuable, meaningful videos to help people around the world. Would you please teach us important must have characteristics to build a community for the business we’d be working on? I’m having a hard time trying to figure out other methods than instagram or social media. What other ways do you think there are to target people that are not in social media? Thank you!
Great video Simon👍 I also watched your interview with Yat Sui and was mind blowing. I’m around your age so still trying to get my head around all this new tech but was wondering if it’s possible to incorporate the web3 platform into a bricks and mortar business where your community of consumers are rewarded in digital currency? Any thoughts on that?
Hi Simon, I really love your content. Thank you so much it’s really fuel in my fire. I think I’ve watched two or three of them twice all the way through! Mate, I’d like to ask if you have or if you could make a video about pitching to investors. so what programs software and materials, we might need to put together our message and also what sort of environment we might expect to present that. in my head, I’m sort of visualising either a coffee with one wealthy interested investor and I’m pending pieces of paper over or swiping on an iPad or another instance where I would be in a room with a whiteboard and a projector. If you could, I’d really love to know, just a good way to take my ideas or my business plan out of my head and into a format which will be useful and attractive to the investors. Also what programs such as Adobe or PowerPoint might be necessary to create those documents. I imagine it would be fairly tricky to get an investor on board after a minute or two in an elevator, but after that, how do we deliver what they will need to become part of our business . Thanks again mate from Australia you’re a king !
hey sir , in next few years i will be taking over my dad's business . Can you make similar type of video specially for second generation of a business / company owners.
In my Family nobody has Money i Stared with Zero and i have some projects for the beginning and it gets slowly more and more the vest Advertisement is speeching mouth to mouth or Speechpropaganda for the beginning
No. It’s to know how to ask for money. Who to ask. And why to ask. You can also just get sales and make money but I covered that in my all you need to know about sales video.
@@SimonSquibb thanks for the response, but what if you dont have any friends or family that will lend you money? Or if you dont want to start off in debt? I have a business in design thankfully, which is pretty cheap but just asking out of curiousity. I might want to expand or evolve eventually. Ps sorry for bad english
Telling somebody that if they can’t listen to five minutes of business instruction, leads you to think they may not make it. Could be true and probably is. But the results are slightly skewed. Somebody might watch due to the fact that you said that. That could also lead them to think, because they listened they will be the ones to succeed. But they only stopped to listen because you said that they may not succeed if they couldn’t listen. If this makes any sense, let me know. I think a good way to go about this would be saving that statement for the end or middle of the video. At the end, simply state the same thing that you had just said. “ if you made it all the way to the end, this lends me to think you could make it in business.”
@@TopOnePercentDads Hey mate, I'm also struggling with overthinking. Although it's a very nice quality to have, sometimes it's overwhelming in daily life and can hinder you to live and enjoy the present moment. As Albert Einstein said: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." So maybe it'll help you to understand the root cause of overthinking. Guess what it is? You are overthinking just because it is a protection mechanism. Maybe think about that in detail. Why are you trying to protect yourself? From who? From what? Why? Where are the feelings coming from? Ask your heart. Do you know about the 5 questions rule? You ask yourself 5 times "why?" (after every new answer) - and sometimes you get your root problem cause as your final answer. Hope it helps.
My so called family-relatives and friends have money! Unfortunately they are all..Playing the poverty card… despite having business.. properties and wholesale business!
Every Time someone asked me for Money to Invest in a Bussiness, they lost it! And that happend 14 Times until now! And I'm just 37! So why would I give more? I should habe spend that Money on Vacations and Travel the World l8ke I intended it in the First Place!
@@SimonSquibb Those 14 Investments failed Miserably, and those People not only lost that Money, but they got sued and had to pay even more Money to Layer, to Court and to those who sued them. So, why would I give any of them more Money? And my Salary is 800€ per Month. Luckily, I'm Stingy, so I don't spend more then 400 € per Month.

Hi, Simon my dream is to build an app business centered around an app I am building. i don't want to make the name public here. I am a US citizen. I tried notion but it produced only names but no contact info or money raised.
Amazing and motivating advice once again! Thank you Simon! My dream is to build a tiny village in nature where musicians from all over the world can come to collaborate. If you resonate with that vision and are good at the business side of things, feel free to contact me! I’m in need of help to make this huge project a reality. I can’t wait to tell you all about it!

Do something like a car washer that will test you and also I think help a lot of people that need this question answering.
Very similar principles apply!
This has come out at a perfect time for me. Im wanting to start my own business. So I need help with it.
That's true you don't need money you need a lot of money ❤
Great content. Watching and taking notes + started using Notion for my ideas and projects. Love it! Thanks, Simon!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Simon, thank you so much, love the videos and have followed since the start, so many of the topics you speak about have resonated in my normal job and helped me shape and perceiver in testing and trying different ideas. Following these has helped me build up my current endeavour which I’m really struggling with just now as trying to go from online to bricks and mortar is so difficult, one thing that’s not really talked about is the doors and opportunities that are just not available without being a bricks and mortar store. And would really like if you could provide guidance on the process of getting a shop the pitfalls and how to get negotiating and contracts right!
0:07 Starting with No Money. Dear Simon this is a comment I left on one of your other videos. Maybe you see it and you give me a Push in the Right Direction. Stay Blessed!
My Dream is to start a Coaching Business. I deeply care about people. Especially about people who suffered Mentally through illnesses, trauma, depression, or manipulation. I would love to spread my Knowledge of how I got on the other side of darkness...i suffered from most of the things i mentioned and yet came out of it 100% healthy and with ZERO bitterness. I want to help and empower others ....but something is holding me back...I need that final push to do PUBLIC SPEAKING...maybe A Ted Talk...I don't know what I am waiting for ??? maybe it is, that deep down in my heart I am Scared of failing my Mission in Life....the Project of my heart ...To Lessen Suffering in this WORLD.
I absolutely LOVE this Simon- that you so much!!!
Simon, if I were to approach an angel investor with a great idea... you said not to ask for money but to ask for help, so what might I include in my initial correspondence? I would outline my idea and ask them if they could spare the time to give me advise? ...avoiding the topic of investment completely?
Don’t have to lead with it - learn about them first anyway can they add value
How I wish I was more connected and have had more open minded people themselves.
That's the same message I shared with you in my message to you Mr. Squibb.
People used to trust, having finished my apprenticeship with good results and being recommended to big organizations, my dad never allowed to even change his car battery, that's how funny😅
Another amazing and insightful video, Simon doesn't miss... 🎯
Thanks!
I'm making my really unique whiteboard now! it will be massive
Thank you so much.

Sir You can create an challenge of starting a business zero to infinite with each and every practical steps
Appreciate your insight and guidance.. I Would genuinely appreciate your priceless assistance and advice please to set my niche cafe.
I have a dream to start a "Thank You" Crew, with kids 16 and younger, that are willing to get out after school and help the elderly, and the sick, by doing their chores around the house or their yard work. This business will be built on donations to help churches and the homeless, the community,etc. Also, the kids will be rewarded twice a year by taking them to Disney World, Six Flags, Water Parks, etc. But I don't have the funds to get their shirts made, the cleaning supplies, the tools and equipment needed. I believe this idea would go global and give the kids an opportunity to help others instead of staying home playing games, or watching TV all day. Of course all trips will be chaperoned by parents or relatives of each child. Parents can also help too. My gkids think this idea is awesome 😎 what do you think?
Great advice, thanks Simon. Took notes. Loving watching your journey on Soc media.
Wow!!
Thanks for giving me the confidence to build my business
1st comment, Thank u so much for all of your FREE Value and Inspiration. Hope to meet you some day
Nice! Welcome early bird! :)
I love your videos and encourage motivation!! I need a partner to start a business in heating, air conditioning, ventilation, and refrigeration it’s a great business anywhere everywhere people need HVACR. Hello from California👨🏽🔧👨🏽🔧🫡 ✊🏼🙏🏼
@@CAHVACR-TurabBasil you need a social media team I can help with that
I am a simple aspiring entrepreneur, I work on my skills all day, I see Simon I click the video 😊
:)
Literally in the middle of all of this. Bought domain names, got social media handles, 3 trademarks in the opposition period and brainstorming crowdfunding options. There's a lot to take in on this journey but if I don't start now, when will I?
Right!
Start a business with no money
Step 1 ask for money
Step 2 listen to me talk about the sponsors that have gave me money
Step 3 ask for money
Sir, thank you so much for all of your valuable, meaningful videos to help people around the world.
Would you please teach us important must have characteristics to build a community for the business we’d be working on?
I’m having a hard time trying to figure out other methods than instagram or social media. What other ways do you think there are to target people that are not in social media?
Thank you!
I learned a lot in this video Simon, thanks! It really made me think about what I would say to a billionaire in a lift 😆
Glad it was helpful!
Keep it up!! I'm loving your content!
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video Simon👍
I also watched your interview with Yat Sui and was mind blowing.
I’m around your age so still trying to get my head around all this new tech but was wondering if it’s possible to incorporate the web3 platform into a bricks and mortar business where your community of consumers are rewarded in digital currency?
Any thoughts on that?
Hi Simon, I really love your content. Thank you so much it’s really fuel in my fire. I think I’ve watched two or three of them twice all the way through!
Mate, I’d like to ask if you have or if you could make a video about pitching to investors. so what programs software and materials, we might need to put together our message and also what sort of environment we might expect to present that. in my head, I’m sort of visualising either a coffee with one wealthy interested investor and I’m pending pieces of paper over or swiping on an iPad or another instance where I would be in a room with a whiteboard and a projector.
If you could, I’d really love to know, just a good way to take my ideas or my business plan out of my head and into a format which will be useful and attractive to the investors. Also what programs such as Adobe or PowerPoint might be necessary to create those documents.
I imagine it would be fairly tricky to get an investor on board after a minute or two in an elevator, but after that, how do we deliver what they will need to become part of our business .
Thanks again mate from Australia you’re a king !
Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏽
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Gold dust .❤

What is the best company to start as someone who has never owned a business
By doing what you love!
Service business is usually a good place to start.
@@SimonSquibb thank you!!
Amazing video. Thank You Simon
Thanks, you are a great inspiration!
Evening, Simon.
I have a dream. I want to be a property entrepreneur. Thing is, I need some help (nothing too crazy), to get started.
Love your videos! Thank you. x
Not to be nit-picking but the first step of "getting started with a business without any money" is to ask for money?
No. It’s to know how to ask for money. Who to ask. And why to ask. You can also just get sales and make money but I covered that in my all you need to know about sales video.
@@SimonSquibb thanks for the response, but what if you dont have any friends or family that will lend you money? Or if you dont want to start off in debt? I have a business in design thankfully, which is pretty cheap but just asking out of curiousity. I might want to expand or evolve eventually. Ps sorry for bad english
im early so ive got my note pad and its time to study :)
Nice! Let me know what you learn!
@@SimonSquibb the crowd funding section was an eye opener , i didnt know most of that
Telling somebody that if they can’t listen to five minutes of business instruction, leads you to think they may not make it. Could be true and probably is. But the results are slightly skewed. Somebody might watch due to the fact that you said that. That could also lead them to think, because they listened they will be the ones to succeed. But they only stopped to listen because you said that they may not succeed if they couldn’t listen. If this makes any sense, let me know. I think a good way to go about this would be saving that statement for the end or middle of the video. At the end, simply state the same thing that you had just said. “ if you made it all the way to the end, this lends me to think you could make it in business.”
You are overthinking it
@@SimonSquibb, that would not be the first time I’ve heard that. I just wish I knew how to think normally.
@@TopOnePercentDads Hey mate, I'm also struggling with overthinking. Although it's a very nice quality to have, sometimes it's overwhelming in daily life and can hinder you to live and enjoy the present moment.
As Albert Einstein said: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
So maybe it'll help you to understand the root cause of overthinking. Guess what it is? You are overthinking just because it is a protection mechanism.
Maybe think about that in detail. Why are you trying to protect yourself? From who? From what? Why? Where are the feelings coming from? Ask your heart.
Do you know about the 5 questions rule? You ask yourself 5 times "why?" (after every new answer) - and sometimes you get your root problem cause as your final answer.
Hope it helps.
@@timofejlagutin6851 Thank you!
My so called family-relatives and friends have money! Unfortunately they are all..Playing the poverty card… despite having business.. properties and wholesale business!
Every Time someone asked me for Money to Invest in a Bussiness, they lost it! And that happend 14 Times until now! And I'm just 37! So why would I give more? I should habe spend that Money on Vacations and Travel the World l8ke I intended it in the First Place!
Invest and help is better
@@SimonSquibb Those 14 Investments failed Miserably, and those People not only lost that Money, but they got sued and had to pay even more Money to Layer, to Court and to those who sued them. So, why would I give any of them more Money? And my Salary is 800€ per Month. Luckily, I'm Stingy, so I don't spend more then 400 € per Month.
What about how to leverage a business even further once started?
Definitely check out some of my other videos for the answer to this. "How To Go From $0 To $100M In 55 Minutes" might help you.
Great video 😮
