There are many perspectives in relation to this... I think the most important thing to do is to focus on one specific idea where you can demonstrate that you are the best "fit" person to launch that idea into a business- because of your expertise, background, passion, etc. In relation to the money issue, if you are specific enough and start with something small that you can really do very well- you won't need much money at all.

Even if it is just a dream, don't put it past yourself that it cannot be turned into something more! Although you said you do not have the finances, don't put the idea to rest. Through the ImagineNations Network website, there is a "resource" tab that provides several tutorials, articles, and videos on how to transform your idea into a business, and more importantly create a business plan. Here is a great article that I think will be very helpful to you! http://www.ehow.com/how_5054384_start-small-business-now.html

Please take advantage of the resources, there are so many that will help put you in the right direction! Once you develop a business plan and goals, you and can explore different financing options through the “finance” tab that is also found at the top of the ImagineNations Network website.

Not a thing is impossible in business! Remember the story of the two shoe salesmen posted in Africa? One said it was impossible to sell shoes to Africans coz there was no one wearing shoes, let alone knowing what shoes were anyway, so he was flown back. Two weeks later another one flew in and requested for all the shoes in the world the company would send him, coz he was going to sell shoes to all of Africa without any competition and indeed he realy did so. U think finance is a problem, u just need to alter the thought a little and think again; then before u know it, u may be generating sales leads....
