16: How to Start a Business With No Money and No Experience

TUNE IN ON:

Wondering how to start a business with no money – and assuming the answer is you can’t? It’s actually yes. You can indeed start a business with no money- online!

In this episode, I’m tackling the two things that stop most aspiring female entrepreneurs before they even begin: thinking they can’t start a business with no money and no experience. I break down how to start an online business using the skills you already have, why a service-based business or digital product model is the lowest-cost entry point, and what bootstrapping a business from day one actually looks like.

In this episode:

00:00 – Can You Really Start a Business With No Money or Experience?

08:23 – Bootstrapping a Business: What You Actually Need to Invest

What we cover:

  • Why how to start a business with no money is the question everyone’s afraid to ask – and why the answer isn’t what you think
  • What skills transfer means and how your current job is already an asset you can build on
  • How to pick the right service-based business or digital model when you’re starting from zero
  • Why bootstrapping a business doesn’t mean free – and what a realistic starting budget actually looks like
  • What an online business for beginners looks like when you have no audience and no following yet

If you’ve been telling yourself you can’t start because you don’t have the funds or the experience, this is the episode to listen to so you can take action to start a business with no money – it’s possible, and it’s how most online businesses begin.

I'm Sophie

Online business coach, podcast host, mental health advocate, community builder, digital nomad, and general trailblazing, rule breaker…

I tried to live a “normal” life: I spent 11+ years working my way up in the fashion industry, working for brands like Ralph Lauren and Burberry. I had the apartment in the city, I lived for going out at the weekends, spent money on designer bags and holidays – until I realized this lifestyle DID NOT FULFIL MEI was waking up with anxiety every day – surviving, but definitely not thriving.

So I quit. I left my 9-to-5 behind to start an online business that supported the lifestyle I actually wanted. Now that looks like slow mornings, daily beach walks, co-working with like-minded entrepreneurs, yoga, meditation, and lots of social connections.

Since 2020, I’ve built multiple online business offers – from online business coaching and consulting to online courses, digital products, and a mental health marketplace – all while travelling the world and living life, and earning money on my own terms.

Now… I’m on a mission to help more people break free from lives that don’t feel good for them and create more freedom through starting and growing an online business.
