Great Idea But Little Capital? Don't Let That Hold You Back

If you have a promising idea for a new venture, don't let a lack of funds prevent you from following through. Here are eight tips to bootstrap your way to business success:
1. Be an expert.
If you build your business around your skillset and area of expertise, you don't need to use valuable funds to pay for outside consulting.
2. Tell your friends
If you are getting a business off the ground, shout it from the rooftops.  Tell your family, friends, neighbors, mentors, people you meet at networking events, former co-workers -- everyone. Take to social media and make some phone calls. You never know who will want to help or help spread the word.
