I come from a poor family and life was a real struggle. In between this dreams, I have always wanted to a business even if it's just a small business. Years back, I started selling some ladies fashion. I didn't earn much but I work very hard. Slowly, I was given an opportunity to be a distributor for a ladies garment company. I recruited a few dealers and I started earning a little more.
But my drive to be successful in business never stop. Then i was approached by a manufaturer to promote their products. They deal with ladies fashion, handbags, bedlinens, accessories etc.
Finally this weekend, I am going to put a small stall for the weekend to promote my products. It might be a small achievement but for me, it is another step to successful.
I am already dreaming of venturing in international market. I want to get orders from worldwide. Everyday I am on the PC, thinking and finding ways and means to promote my business!
Who knows i might be able to own a business one day!

congratulations. You are already successful with the drive that you have. I wish you luck on your new endeavor and hope that it does grow to a magnitude that you imagine.
Customer service is one of the most important factors in having a business specially if it's just starting.
Promo is another important thing to consider. Since you don't have much bidget, why don't you ask your friends to help you out.
Word of mouth is an important thing. If people are satisfied with your service and your product, they will tell their friends, and their friends will tell their friends.

Hi ! Friend,
I started with so little $$ too. In fact, even that small amount, i had to borrow from a friend. Believe in yourself, the way I did. I am sure you can do it! All you need is the belief in yourself and you are near to your success. All the best!

isn't it feels great when you start yourself from scratch going upward for success?
for sure, you will be able to get through what you have been dreaming of. you are already on your way to success. just a little more hardwork and a little more faith in yourself and you'll soon have the business you dream and hope of having.
your devotion and hard work will get you somewhere. goodluck!

That was such a remarkable story Sonali.=) You are really a hardworking person and sooner you'll get the one thing you've always dreamed of. I've known people who came from such background and I admire their persistence and diligence to strive harder and be a man's man. You are gifted as well as kindhearted, I wish you well in life and you just keep the faith okay!
Bless you!

First of all, welcome here!!
I am sure you will have your business one day, just keep planning and you will succeed. There are many ways to do business and if you wish, I might be able to help by sharing my experiences with you.
I have also been searching for business opportunities for many years and found at least some reliable ones.
I have very low income so I can not invest much but there are many low cost and free opportunities out there too.
