“The best way to go into business is with high hopes and low overhead”

“The best way to go into business is with high hopes and low overhead” is a business quotation of unknown origin. “With high hopes and low overhead” was cited in print in 1973, but the first part of the quotation was not present. “The best way to go into business is with high hopes and low overhead” was published in a 1980 book of quotations.
