Ep 38: Donnie P. – Building a Lucrative Business with No Capital

Donnie had an epiphany while learning the fundamentals of business at the outset of his career: “Most people fail at the first hurdle because they become fixated on the need for stacks of start-up capital in their firms,” he explains. “However, all they truly need is commitment, drive, and guts. Money should be the last thing on their minds.” He literally built a thriving home care services business with nothing more than a pad of paper, a pen, and an empty wallet.

Donnie P., an entrepreneur, and native of Jeanerette, Louisiana, is currently in the cannabis business. He is also an author and a public speaker. His first business book, How to Catch a Mouse with No Cheese, is aimed at helping people who have been in an industry for up to a year or are interested in beginning a firm but lack the necessary funds. The book offers five game-changing concepts for taking your business to the next level. Every concept has its foundation for training you to start and build your business with little or no money.

With more than twenty years of experience in the business world, Donnie has seen the highs and lows of it, as he says, “I have opened businesses, closed businesses, made millions, and lost millions.” In this episode of The Liquid Lunch Project, he talks with Matthew and Luigi about his incredible journey.
