I have a total of 3000€ available to me in cash and some possessions like my pc (no house no car). Do you realistically think it is possible for me to start up a business?

You have bootstraps, right? Just give em a tug! It's easy!

As they say, the secret to being rich is having money. And the secret to success is being able to try again and again.

I wonder what would enable one to fail several times at business. And no, the answer isn't (just) a LLC.

Yes...depending on the business. My friend and I started an online retail store with $500 each during the early e-commerce days.

As the saying goes, why spend your money when you can spend an investor's money? The trick isn't starting a business, but starting a business with a viable business model.

This last sentence makes me think it’s not as easy as you were suggesting to this point.

Anyway, plenty of people start businesses and lose their life savings. I’ve seen it happen.

but but but.. I need a valid excuse so I can tell myself about why I can't start a startup.

[emseetech]

“I can’t afford to fail” is a perfectly valid reason.

No, not with that attitude!
