Don’t Hire a Grant Writer………
I was sitting in a Starbucks working the other day and a person who recognized me came up and said she was looking for a grant to start a business and asked if she should hire a grant writer to help her. My immediate reaction was NO!

I asked her why in the world was she thinking of hiring a grant writer when she doesn’t even know yet where to go to get a grant or what the grant application looks like. It’s putting the cart before the horse and a waste of time.
The reality is that you may or may not need a grant writer. So why waste time finding one if you may never need one? What you have to concentrate on is finding a place that may give you a grant. Once you find that you can worry about everything else.

It’s easy to get side-tracked into spending time on things that seem relevant but aren’t. And all this does is postpone the problem. And the problem is finding out WHERE to apply for the money. Don’t you dare spend any time figuring out if you need more help once you find the money, or even how you may spend the money. All those questions are irrelevant if you can’t find the money. Spend every ounce of your energy finding the place where you are going to apply for the money. The rest will fall into place.

By the way, if you have trouble filling out an application for money, don’t hire a consultant. Go to the office that is handing out the money. They are obligated to help you fill out your application. They are in the best position to know what should be on the application because they are the ones giving you the money.

Free Legal Help To Fight Your Boss
I saw an ad for an attorney in a Florida newspaper ( http://www.florinroebig.com/ ) offering to fight for you if your employer is not paying you time and one-half for overtime. I hope you know if you call an attorney it is going to cost you to get the money owed to you. Instead, you can contact your state government and get their attorneys to get you your money FOR FREE. Call your state government operator in your state capital or go to www.govengine.com. And remember, any employer is more afraid of the government than they are of a private attorney. The government can put them out of business.
