I'd like to see the fail and recovery rate as well. Most businesses fail but one failing and owing a few thousand in debt is harder to recover from than one that started with $500.
You can't name one business that was started on $500. Yet you can point to every single building that houses a business on the entire planet earth and it was started on more than $500. So what's your point?

Eh Dave Ramsey boasts about starting his business at a card table in his basement. Heard other stories on his show about people starting from home for cheap and graduating. My friend started her daycare from home with no money and now has 3 daycares. The only thing she technically borrowed for was for one of the properties she was originally renting and the owners wanted to sell it so they did owner financing but the property is in her name. It can be done and I have no reason to doubt any of the stories I heard.

It's very discouraging to believe the only way to start a business is by borrowing money. Sounds like the same shyt they say about a college degree.

One book I remember reading was rich dad poor dad. I dunno if its a business book per se as its a story book essentially but it was frightening how similar the poor dads views were frighteningly similar to alot of the older folk in my families viewpoints too. Some of the shyt is almost word for word what black people are often encouraged to do. Its a good read.

Truthfully I haven't read alot of business books, i read mostly articles in the areas im into. A lot of great business/ entrepreneurship stuff on reddit, don't miss out on it .That's where I learnt about the Amazon FBA thing.
