$11,000 Grant For Downsized Worker to Start A Home Business………
Jim Bell was classified as disabled the same year he was downsized out of his job. He always dreamed of starting a home-based business, and began looking through Matthew’s Free Money To Change Your Life book. He found the VESID (Vocational Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities) program, which is part of the New York State Education Department. Jim was awarded an $11,000 grant to help buy inventory, a computer, fax machine, and office supplies. He now sells golf equipment online at www.bellmerchandise.com and www.golferscaddy.com. Buy from Jim. He used my book and got a grant.
Get Grant Money To Write Grant Proposals….
…… there are a lot of people who keep telling me that there are no grants for business. Well, a fellow at our last seminar in Chicago told us that he was in the business of writing grant applications for businesses and the state of Wisconsin pays him with a grant to help businesses get grants. Now how great is that? His name is Michael Morales and he’s got the best of both worlds.
Entrepreneur Got Too Much Grant Money So He Gave It Back…..
…… .it’s amazing but true. It’s another story for people who keep telling me there is no such thing as grant money for business. He’s the brother of a friend of mine I was talking to at a birthday party. He was setting up a small fulfillment center business in West Virginia and the state gave him $700,000 to help start the business. He couldn’t spend it all so he gave back $350,000 and told them to give it to him later when he’ll want to grow some more. So check West Virginia if you need grant money to start a business http://www.wv.gov/sec.aspx?pgID=1.
