What is the least amount of money someone has used to start a company and built it up to a million dollars or more?

 We started our last company with no outside money and very little founder money. We grew it to about $12 million in annual revenue and sold it to a Fortune 500 in just under 5 years. How did we do that, you ask?

Well, there were 3 founders and each contributed something very important.

Founder #1: was a serial tech entrepreneur that had a successful prior exit (single, maybe a double at best) and a couple of other small endeavors going. However, what he had that was really valuable was a development team that we could "buy by the drink" from until we could afford our own "bottle". His developers were not strategist but they were very good at implementing what we came up with (btw - the Reid Hoffman quote, "if you aren't sufficiently embarrassed by the first release of your product then you waited too long to release it, is VERY true!)

Founder #2: was a seasoned IT executive with entrepreneurial aspirations who had a very strong business network. What he had was an audience with some very senior tech execs (CIO of F500 level guys) that was willing to listen to what we were pitching. One of those turned out to be our first customer. That first customer proved more valuable than a million dollars worth of outside money!

Founder #3: was me. I had an "entrepreneurial-ish" background (as much a wanna be who fashioned himself an entrepreneur as anything). I had been an IT exec and just completed a 3 years expat gig just outside of London where I got off the plane and founded a business division from scratch (albeit for a public fintech company - but it gave me the confidence that I knew how to start and scale a business). I also had the key idea for the "engine" to run our solution based on my last job.

We started the company on Jan. 3. 2003. It was really just me, a shoebox of office supplies and a laptop. I "squatted" in founder #1's offices from his other endeavor. I would say the other two founders were pretty silent as partners for the first few months (save the occasional strategy meetings, developer intros or customer calls).

In March of 2003, we started pitching our product idea (PowerPoint only, no code), to whomever would listen. We did about 50 distinct customer meetings and finally got a F500 CIO to "sponsor us" to a business unit. By May 2003, we convinced that unit to buy (all futures based) and because we had a great relationship, got them to pay about 50% up front. This was a $500k deal so about $250k. WARNING: This is REALLY rare! I don't advise this strategy as your only course of action to getting capital.

By November of 2003, we delivered the first version of our product and it went live in the business just before Christmas. In February of 2004, they called to say that in their just completed off-site managers meeting, our solution had been voted as one of their best operational initiatives of 2003. They wanted more!

Over the next 4 years we signed many F500 customers (several with up front partial payment terms), only took two small rounds of venture debt (loans we repaid with interest and only a percent or two of equity tied to them) and sold the company on December 7, 2007 (yes, that is Pearl Harbor Day but we also shook hands and agreed to start the company on Friday, the 13th of December 2002, so I guess those are good bookends!)

So, it can be done but you need something that substitutues for outside capital. That can be founder's capital (this is why subsequent start ups after a first success get a bit easier to handle), an earth shattering idea, or, in our case, access to the first potential customer. I would say the first customer for us was way more valuable (we were selling enterprise B2B premise-based software - that's really tough as a small company).

You just need to decide what your assets are that you can put in play!

P.S. If you ever do go to a company and get them to pay for futures based software. ALWAYS wear a poker face that you have already got most of it done or you run the risk of getting a customer but loosing control of your intellectual property. Then you just become a paid consultant.

What are some books that teach you how to make a passive income?

 Here are the top 10 - Rich Dad Poor Dad, 4 hour work week, 5 day weekend, the passive income myth, the book on rental property investing, the $100 startup, The six figure second income, the Millionaire Fastlane, the boggle head guide to investing and the barefoot investor.

There are reviews of each book on the website, overall the best lesson I learnt from Rich Dad Poor Dad is Rich people buy assets, poor people buy liabilities.

What does this mean? To give you an example take 2 people who are both earning a monthly paycheck of $4,000. The rich person would take that paycheck and immediately invest $3,500 of it and get that money working for him to make more and more money. This could be in the form of shares, or investing it into his vending machine business, or putting into a term deposit. The remaining $500 he will keep and will use it to pay for his expenses. The poor person would take that paycheck and spend it on that new suit he wanted, the new pair of shoes to match the suit, a brand new watch, and pay his credit card off. There will be a small portion left for his monthly expenses. Do you see the difference here? It seems like the poor person will always be poor, as they don’t understand this concept. Let me repeat that lesson again for you so you understand it. Rich people buy assets, poor people buy liabilities. I know at times it can be difficult as you genuinely do need to buy a new suit for work as your previous one is getting thread bare and you have been wearing it for a few year, however the point of this is to recognize that this money could be better spent elsewhere and to be conscious that this is not going to make me richer. I guess secondary to this is that anything you buy that does not directly generate income for you is a liability i.e. you motor vehicle. This may take you from work but it is a liability. It will never make money for you; it will only cost you (unless you are in the business of flipping cars for profit). The new suit you wanted to buy is a liability it is not an asset. Only ever buy assets.

What would you do with 1 billion dollars?

 I would do the following:

1. Take time out to learn programming and complete some online courses on machine learning etc.
2. Deepen my knowledge of Physics and Statistics. Possibly, go through quantum mechanics again.
3. Do more outdoor stuff and treks every week.
4. Go running or workout every morning.
5. Try to solve some interesting real life problems in education and healthcare. e.g., low cost diagnostics or teaching science to kids in rural areas.

Oh wait!

What does all this (except maybe point no. 5) have to do with having $1 billion?

Very little. And that is precisely the point. In our daily lives, we want to do things that we find meaningful and enjoyable. Why will that change when we have $1 billion? Yes, we can buy more things. But how much will you buy? What will you do after you have bought them? And we need enough money for core needs and a safety net, but you hit that level much much much before $1 billion.

Don’t get me wrong: it is not that money does not matter. It matters a hell lot when you are struggling to meet your basic needs. But soon after that other things start mattering more.

And the funny part is that when it comes to things that really matter, you can’t buy them even with $1 billion. Many years ago in Mumbai, one day I was doing an early morning run. I saw a familiar figure with sunglasses running on the road, along with a guy who looked like his bodyguard. It was Anil Ambani, who was preparing for the upcoming marathon. He was sweating and exerting himself just like all of us.

For health and fitness, a billionaire has to run just like anyone else. You can’t buy health. You can’t buy happiness. You can’t buy peace of mind.

Why should we remind ourselves of this? Because we go about our lives totally focused on becoming super-rich, even though many of the luxuries available to billionaires are right in front of us all the time.

So why don’t we live like a billionaire today?

What is the best way to get $1 million?

 I’ll share with you a technique that is far more powerful and practical than any single answer that people will give you.

I loosely call it backward chain reasoning, and the idea is to start from the end (having a million dollars in your bank account, let’s say) and reason backward.

What has to happen before that?

Perhaps:

“I need to have a business that has yearly sales of $1 million.”

Then:

For that to happen, I need to have a product, a sales force, a target market. And so on.

Or let’s put it more simply this way:

$1 million in bank account
… Small business producing $1M in sales per year
… … Product to sell
… … … Innovation system
… … Staff
… … … Budget to pay them
… … … … Startup capital
… … … Training system
… … Target market
… … … Market research
… … … Business plan
… … Marketing system
… … … Digital marketing system

You get the point.

Another complementary technique is to use high-level math to “play around” so as to activate your imagination and see possibilities.

For example, I’m going to become a billionaire so what do I need to make this happen?

100 licensed business operators selling $1,000 product to 10,000 customers.

100 X $1,000 X 10,000 = $1,000,000,000 in sales

Sure, I have to share the profits with my 100 operators, but hey, that’s not a problem, there’s enough money for everyone!

The above means that EACH operator must attract 10,000 customers per year, so about 28 customers per day.

A product priced at $1,000 might sound expensive, but if it’s a membership site charging $84 per month, it then looks more feasible as that seems to be more value for customers.

(So customers pay $1,000 a year for membership).

Since I would have access, every day, to the sales and marketing systems and dashboards of my operators, I can jump in and help them if needed.

“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! John! Your sales are down 20% from last week! What’s going on?! Skype me, let’s fix this problem!”

This kind of “big numbers” exercise might seem crazy to ultra-rational people, but in fact, it’s a great way to become mentally flexible and use one’s imagination.

Something that most people don’t do!!

Let’s remember that “the man who thinks that 10 million dollars is a lot of money, is not the kind of man who can make that kind of money.”

What kind of man are you? :)

Business Ideas: How to get money using advanced ms excel?

 In short you don't... Making money using excel is like saying "how do I make money from knowing how to use a hammer". You don't.

People pay based on value, but knowing how to use a tool is a tiny slice of value, knowing what to direct it to and the nuances of a particular niche are what starts to bring value.

So for a good hammer user, maybe its finding someone else who needs a hammerer (e.g. a builder) and getting a job with him. Maybe its learning the other skills of carpentry or joining so you can make furniture, or maybe its more entrepreneurial and smashing up ice to make slushy drinks.

The other answers mension things that although they use excel, the skillset is MUCH wider than that -- e.g. teaching >> knowing. Take a look at all the stuff chandoo.org needs to do to make money.

'Consulting' requires things like finance or operational knowledge coupled with excel. Again the excel bit is minor, and often done by junior people in firms.

The best you can hope for without further skills or vision is a job or freelance work fixing peoples sheets and macro's etc. even then though the skill is diagnosing the problem.

Excel is a tool, tool usage has no value until its applied somewhere; and excel is used VERY widely so you can pick an area and then start building the other skills and connections to make value.

you can teach ms excel , you can render services on upwork.com or fiverr.com and there are so many people who are not expert they can need excel service so find it out or contact me i will tell you how to get work from internet.

Can I watch my own YouTube video to get 4000 watch hours?

 Technically speaking, if you are a new Youtuber and you are desperate enough, then of course you can consider such things. It is indeed possible to view your own video, the views are still counted by Youtube.

Repeated views count up to a certain point (say, for instance, someone watches a video multiple times a day), but they stop counting at a certain number that YouTube has not specified. Experts believe that after 4 or 5 views in one day, YouTube stops adding new views to a video’s view count number.

So, don’t think you can just watch your videos over and over again, because the answer is, it’s not going to work in the long run.

YouTube has had to be deliberate about how they count views because users have attempted to scam the platform in a huge variety of ways so that it looks like their video has been viewed more times than it has.

To minimize the potential that YouTubers are falsifying views to get monetized, or in promotion by YouTube itself, YouTube has created a system to detect what’s a real view. Therefore, after a certain amount of view, Youtube will reverify whether or not the views are real and not watch bots.

If your video’s views are not legit and authentic due to your rewatch it again and again, Youtube will delete those views and update the real views. Worse, if you use this tactic way too many times, Youtube will demonetize your account or even ban it outright.

Therefore, I suggest you look for better options to get organic views, rather than gaming the Youtube algorithm. In time like this, creating creative and valuable content is not enough to get more views. If you want to reach the 4000 watch hours goal, you should consider learning more about Youtube SEO. Since Youtube is one of the largest search engine on the Internet, knowing how to optimize your videos is a good idea for your content to reach more viewers

Secondly, do you know you can legally promote your Youtube videos to get more views? All you need is to advertise your videos through Google AdWords and attract more viewers to your channels. However, running an advertising campaign using Google Ad might be tricky to beginners. The solution here is to seek professional services from trustworthy advertisement companies.

How do I get 4000 hours of watch-time on YouTube?

 There are no shortcut if you want YouTube as a Career option. If you want to complete 4000hr watch time as soon as possible then upload movie clips or newly launched song etc. Which are currently treading. But after some days your video will be deleted and your channel will be penalized or may be deleted if you repeat the same process.

At the end of the day our main motive behind creating a youtube channel is to make money online. So why we do something which is not acceptable by YouTube. I think you got my point.

But your question is how can you complete 4k watch time. So I have some tips which will help you if you follow these.

Tip No 1

Make videos which are currently trending. But don't make videos on which you haven't knowledge or interest.

Tip No 2

Use a good external microphone and good camera. This does not mean you have to spend a lot of money. If you have budget then buy Boya By M1 mic for video recording. And you have the best camera in your pocket.

Because as you know sound is the ultimate thing for which we watch a video for long time.

Tip No 3

Don't copy others, don't try to be copy of someone. Always try to be the first you.

Tip No 4

Make useful videos and try to give as much knowledge as you can. Make longer videos. And watch this 2–3 times. If you like this then upload this.

Because longer video gets more views, gain more watchtime.

Tip No 4

If possible try to say about other popular creators or filmstar or sportsman who is popular. Always say positive things about them if they are related to your topic.

For example if you are uploading a movie review video then try to say about salman khan is biggest star I love him for this reason etc etc.

Tip No 5

Research your competitors video and check what they are saying, what is in their title, tag and description. Understand that and try to do the same thing in your video also. But don't copy the same.

Tip No 6

Try to make user engaging videos. Make videos on what your audience wants not you.

Tip No 7 (Important)

Make videos on one niche (topic). Stay updated, check on social sites what are going viral, trending and What people demands.

Always try to upload trending video as fast as possible.

And if your one video goes viral then post more videos on same topic with other title and some new details. But use same tags.

May be I forgot many things to tell you. Oh yaa please make catchy thumbnail. But don't put any wrong information in thumbnail.
