BUSINESS: The Simplest, Cheapest Business You Can Start Today Welcome to Join Up Dots! In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the easiest, most straightforward ways to start a business with little investment and minimal risk. If you’re looking to start small but think big, here’s a simple model: find a popular, evergreen product on Amazon Prime – something like dried flower arrangements or football scarves – and promote it on social media. By setting up profiles on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, you can start selling directly to your followers. Here’s the kicker: you don’t even need to handle shipping! When someone orders, you simply purchase the item on Amazon Prime, send it to their address, and pocket the profit. This model works great for anyone who’s short on time or just getting started in business, with Amazon taking care of the shipping and handling so you can focus on building your audience and brand. It’s all about choosing the right product, engaging with your followers, and keeping up the momentum. Try creating exciting content that showcases the product, builds trust, and encourages people to click “buy.” Remember, as your audience grows, you can expand your product range to maximize profits.

He is is a successful entrepreneur and change leader that has built on his experience working with the largest companies in America to start his own business from scratch. He brings his unique style to leadership to build a culture of professionalism to the blue collar world of home renovations. He left the corporate zoo and ventured into the entrepreneurial wild and started The Trusted Toolbox: Home Repair and Projects in 2008. YES, he started a business right before the Great Recession, so timing the market is not his strength. He survived through that time and has grown his business into a multimillion dollar handyman and remodelling company which has won numerous awards in Atlanta, GA. How The Dots Joined Up For Chris As he says "Save yourself the time and aggravation of having to do repair work around your home on your own.

It’s a much wiser idea to let our handymen do the work for you.  And its a very wise idea to build an evergreen business, around peoples pain points and limitations first and foremost. So is he happier now, running his own businesses or does he look back to the turn up and get paid corporate life with fondness? And what would be the biggest lesson he learnt which he always shares as his "Make sure you don't do what i did moment" ? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr Chris Lalomia
