  • Earn a good living on your own terms, when and where you want

  • Spend less time working and more time living your life.

The $100 Startup Quotes

“Value means helping people. If you’re trying to build a microbusiness and you begin your efforts by helping people, you’re on the right track. When you get stuck, ask yourself: How can I give more value? Or more simply: How can I help my customers more?”


“Ask three questions for every idea:

a. How would I get paid with this idea?
b. How much would I get paid from this idea?
c. Is there a way I could get paid more than once?”
