40 Low Or No Cost Business Ideas

One of the biggest dangers in life is to have all your proverbial eggs in one basket.

In Ecclesiastes 11:1-2(ESV) we read, “Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what disaster may happen on earth.”

The New Living Translation reads “Send your grain across the seas, and in time, profits will flow back to you. But divide your investments among many places, for you do not know what risks might lie ahead.”

Yet many do not diversify the biggest financial asset they have, their earning potential.

They go to work for one client day after day. If that client, their boss, no longer wants or needs their service, they are financially in trouble.

If they have 100 clients and lose one or one dozen, they are not in as much trouble.

It is not financially responsible to just jump into self-employment or small business. In order to migrate into it, we need to work on the side until we are able to consistently earn 25-50% of our income. Then, it might be time to go full-time.

As with any decision in life, it should be bathed in prayer. Listen to what you feel you are called to do. Then ask the Caller how you should proceed.

Not all self-employment or small business opportunities are equal. You need to weigh your personality, your financial situation, and your skillset. Below are ideas that may be started on the side without jeoparding your current job situation.
