Can you start a home business with nothing down — and sell it 10 years later for $1.5 million?
Robert Spiegel, the author of The Shoestring Entrepreneur’s Guide to the Best Home-Based Businesses did just that!
In 1986, Robert Spiegel founded Chili Pepper magazine for a mere $1,500 and sold it in 1996 for, yes, $1.5 million. So what’s in his book for you? Plenty, if you’ll only give Mr. Spiegel a few hours of your time.
In The Shoestring Entrepreneur’s Guide to the Best Home-Based Businesses, he shows you how to launch and operate your own business — at a profit — full or part time.
Spiegel happens to be an entrepreneur who can write. Still working out of his home, he is now the author of the popular eBiz column that appears in dozens of newspapers, magazines, and on-line business sites.
