How can i convince my parents to buy/run a business?

Question

Neither of them have gone to college in the u.s. We are in a little debt so this business might help us. they have the ability to maintain it for a long time. right now my mom does not work and my dad has a random job. manual labor

Answer 1

One way to try is to talk about financial freedom in general, and how working for yourself provides that.  As well as the fact that of all the millionaires in the United States, the majority of them were entrepreneurs (not doctors, lawyers, corporate execs as some might believe).  Also, I would recommend you have them read Rich Dad, Poor Dad for some initial inspiration.

Answer 2

Instead of convincing them, show them. Create an online business of your own (age doesn't matter). It takes some time, diligence, determination, research, and hard work. All the qualities you need for a successful business. Show them YOU can earn an income online by creating a good website with advertisers and affiliates who pay you.

If you have never built a website before it is easy with Site Build It! They have a step by step process to help you select a profitable business idea and turn it into an e-business.

Look at some of their videos and what others have done to create an online business.

Answer 3

Well you can't. My own experience. Dad never listen to you about work.

Answer 4

Nothing good can come from "forcing" them to run a business. If they don't want to, it'll most likely not go too well. You can't really do anything about it.
