As a bootstrapper, you must sell yourself first. Every transaction should always begin with you selling yourself as a knowledgeable, reliable person with great integrity. You should boost out your expertise for this is the one you are selling at first. Your confident and your integrity as a business owner will earn you some revenue which you can use to pay the bills and can set the phase for you to transform into the business status that you have been dreaming.

The fact is, you must begin with an easy phase and later on transforminto the business you ultimately want to become. Of course, unexpected events are inevitable. So you just have to be flexible for the unexpected changes and keep your eye towards transforming your business. As long as your integrity is intact, you can always keep your business going.
