A Super Simple $1 Business Plan
It’s only one dollar.
A single George Washington.
I cannot tell a lie, sometimes I wonder about the generosity of it.
Four quarters doesn’t seem to go as far as it used to, but we call that progress.
I’ve got a dozen books for .99 because readers will try a new author for a buck without much thought.
They call it a loss leader on the business side of it.
Except it’s not a loss for me.
I’m grateful for every dollar.
I try to remind myself that every dollar I put out into the economy helps it grow and returns to me.
I know that every dollar I put into a stock or crypto account grows.
Sometimes they grow into way more dollars.
What would you trade for a dollar?
I used to like to grab a Coke for $1.
Now it’s $2.
Heck, even the Dollar Tree store had to raise prices to $1.25.
They kept the name though.
That small amount seems almost inconsequential.
A dollar.
Yet some people don’t dare part with it.
