Here's a GREAT article from this week's newsletter:
1. Need an Idea – or Money? Okay – these are trying times and many of you that I talk to say you are just looking for a great idea. Some of you have your idea but feel you need a chunk of money to get it off the ground. Well, here’s a solution for both. Billionaire Mark Cuban is offering to fund any business that can show a break-even cash flow in 60 days and be profitable in 90. So – no problem getting any amount of money you need (no minimum – no maximum) – if in fact you have a solid business plan. The Mark Cuban Stimulus Plan. And if you still need an idea – no problem. Seth Godin’s current group of 9 six-month MBA candidates just came up with a list of 999 Business Ideas (

This is not a joke. Both the available money and the list of ideas are totally legitimate and real. So no more excuses – now you’ve got plenty of ideas and plenty of money. All you need to do is take action. If you don’t have a money making business 48 days from now – look in the mirror to identify the roadblocks.
