How to Start a Business with almost No Money: Bootstrap Blueprint - Paperback

by Andrine Mendez (Author)

Starting a business is exciting, but let's be honest-it's also terrifying. You have a great idea, but no funding, no network, and no clear roadmap.

This book is your no-nonsense, action-packed guide to navigating the world of entrepreneurship, even when you have little to no resources. Forget the motivational fluff-this is a raw, practical, and brutally honest playbook filled with real-life strategies, lessons, and mistakes from someone who has built businesses from scratch.

I'm not a billionaire or a social media guru selling you the dream of overnight success. I've built companies, exited a startup, raised funding, and failed multiple times. I've navigated different industries-from food and service businesses to tech startups-and learned the hard way what works and what doesn't.
