How to build a business with no idea, no money, no experience, and no network.

[samuraijack]

Hey there,

I'm Stephen. The title as most of you know is a rip of @IceCreamKid 's thread. The reason for that is because "no idea, no money, no experience, no network" describes me completely and also because it is catchy. One of the biggest things I got from reading TMF and Gold threads on this forum is that all the shitty things in my life such as having no money, no good lasting friendships or relationships with my family is because I was selfish, unloving and I didn't give myself to others; I didn't contribute anything of value to anyone's life.

So naturally it makes a lot of F*cking sense for me to reach out to others and try to help solve their problems . I will be emailing and calling business owners in a target market to find a need and then build a solution with their input. I get to apply copywriting principles (which I just started to learn), I get to grow some balls by calling business owners, and most of all even if I fail and nothing comes from this, I know how much I will grow as a person and entrepreneur.

My passive action that I have taken :
-Learning copywriting
-Did research on certain industries and I have my target market picked out (took way too long aka fear of failure)
-I'm using yesware for my email tracking, I have two templates I'll be testing even though I will be calling/ following up to each person on the phone regardless of response.
-I wrote the scripts/guide for the phone calls

What I need to do:
-Start creating the email list of 100 business owners tomorrow evening.
-Schedule emails tomorrow as well to go out Thursday morning, Friday morning, Saturday morning and Sunday morning.
-Make a call to one of them Friday morning before I go to work.
-Learn each step as I go. I currently know nothing on pre-selling, hiring developers, internet marketing, or even creating a website...lol

When I wrote my "why" statement a month ago, one of the biggest "why" I had was to help others like me. I learned that when a person sees someone they can relate to accomplish something they think is impossible, it suddenly becomes a little easier to believe. So hopefully as I go through this process, it will make it just a bit easier for others to follow along and join me as well.

This is for accountability as well. I bookmarked a post by @Vigilante where he flame some dude who made a post about meditation after being on the forum for 3 years I think. When I read that it scared me shitless to the point that I will never let it happen.
