This was a good, educational read on the topic.

There are a lot of ways not to get bogged down by lack of funding. The more we can work our brain, the more we can either replace funding with another option or at least reduce it drastically. @Anita, thanks for your comments. @yfncg, good strategy.

My strategy is to start my business part time, getting clients by word-of-mouth until I build up enough savigs to take it full time.
