Who says you have to have an actual store to have a store? And who says that you even have to have any products to have a store. You can start a virtual store on the web. For this you only need pictures of the products and a source to get the products when someone actually buys them from your website. Call a dozen suppliers of the product you are interested in and see if they would go into a 50/50 partnership when sales come in. You can find suppliers for any product from books in the library. Once you learn how to bring in sales, you can get your own store and keep all the money yourself. If you want to start a bookstore you can contact local hospitals, office buildings or other big structures, and make a deal with them to sell products in the lobby for people hanging out all day. And then contact a local bookstore to share the profits with them. Or you can approach a local bookstore and tell them that you will figure out how to sell books to the government and want a 50/50 deal. The bookstore has nothing to lose and you get to have a business with no money or books. And how are you going to learn to sell to the government? The government will teach you for free. Contact your local government sponsored Small Business Development Center and they will teach you for free. Contact: 800-8-ASK-SBA or http://www.sba.gov/sbdc/sbdcnear.html

Let The Government Be Your Collection Agency
Do you have a supplier in another state who owes you money and won’t pay you back? Well, you don’t have to hire an attorney and pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars to get back your money. Try calling the attorney general’s office in the state of your supplier and complain about how a company in their state mistreated you. Many of these offices will investigate, for free, by contacting the business in question. No matter who is right in the matter the supplier does not likely want a government office on their back because this government office can put them out of business. The smartest business decision is to just give you the money owed and have the problem go away.
Maybe your credit card company does not treat you right and holds back money you think is due to you? Maybe your health insurance company will not pay a claim you think is covered in your policy. Maybe the package delivery service or airline shipping your product did you wrong? Maybe the radio station running your ads cheated you? All of these problems can be handled more effectively, and FOR FREE, by contacting the government agency that regulates the business you are dealing with. All businesses are regulated by some agency. If your customers have a problem with you they can contact the state attorney general’s office or the postal inspector if you sent a product by mail. So why hire an attorney who will charge you $200 and hour to get you satisfaction, when you can call a government office who will do the job for free. And don’t forget, a business can fight an attorney because the worst they have to lose is that they have to pay what they owe you. But it does not pay a business to fight a government agency, because a government agency has the power to put them out of business.
To find who regulates a specific business call 411 and ask for your state capital operator. Then ask for the office that regulates the profession or organization that hurt you. Or go to www.govengine.com and start by looking for the office of attorney general. You can also try the Consumer Action Website at www.consumeraction.gov/

You can get the answer to all these questions by knowing about the government’s best kept secret called the Small Business Development Centers. There are over 1,000 of these offices around the country that will give you all these services and more for free or for very little cost.

Let The Government Be Your Biggest Customer
Question: Do you know what is better than a $100,000 government grant?
Answer: A $100,000 government contract. Because with a grant you are most likely to get it once and with a contract you can keep getting it over and over again.
Question: Do you know who buys more of anything than anyone else in the world?
Answer: The government, including federal, state, local and county.
Someone has to sell all those products and services to the government and it might as well be you. You just have to find out who in the government buys your product and figure out the paperwork on how to get paid.
But don’t worry too much about the work required and the paperwork involved, because there are offices that will help you do all this and they will do it FOR FREE. Find your local, state and federal financed Small Business Development Center office by contacting 800-8-ASK-SBA or http://www.sba.gov/sbdc/sbdcnear.html. Or you can also contact one of the local free offices financed by the Department Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency at 703- 767-1661 or www.dla.mil/db Tell them you need help selling to the government.
But remember one thing. Selling to the government is like going elephant hunting. When you bag one of these babies you have meat for a long time.
$150,000 To Open A Business In A Certain Zip Code
In addition to the federal government you also have to contact your state government. Every state has a number of money programs for people to start or expand a business in their state. Governors compete with other governors to see who can create the most jobs, and that’s why they offer money for people who create jobs in their state. You don’t even have to be a residence of the state. You can live in one state and put your business in a state that offers you more money. States also offer special money for entrepreneurs to put their business in certain areas of the state or in certain areas of a city. There are also other money programs to build buildings or renovate old buildings. Some of this money comes from federal sources which is given to the states and distributed to entrepreneurs in the state. Other money is generated from local taxes. And some states use the winnings from their lottery money to give to entrepreneurs to create or expand businesses.
Many states offer programs from more than one agency. So it may take some time to find all the programs in a given state. A good place to start is your State Government Office of Economic Development located in your state capital. You can call 411 and ask for the state capital operator in your state capital or go to www.govengine.com and click on your state and find the office that is listed under business and/or economic development.
Free Money To Start Or Expand Any Business
Uncle Sam wants you to start a business or expand your current business. The job of the government is to help create jobs. So, if you start a small business, you are creating a job for yourself. The government will love you for that. And if you start a big business, and create 50 jobs, the government will love you even more. If you start a giant business, the government will love you so much they may create a new law to legally adopt you.
The same is true if you want to improve your business, make it more profitable, or if you want to make your employees more efficient, or sell into new markets. The government needs as many people as possible to be starting and expanding businesses. They need more and more people working and increasing their wages. All this creates prosperity for America and generates more taxes for the government.
The government shows it’s love for job creators by giving them money. Under the guise of making America stronger, elected officials have created hundreds and even thousands of programs at the federal, state and local level to start and expand businesses. These programs are for big businesses to get bigger, small business to get to the next level or for the solitary dreamers to make their dreams come true.
Because there are literally thousands and thousands of programs available, almost every living person is eligible for something. Every program has different requirements. For some programs you have to have some of your own money in your pocket to be able to get government money. For other programs you don’t have to bring any money to the table. And still for other programs, you have to be flat broke and out of work before they give you money to start or expand your business.
Every year over 1 million entrepreneurs get money from the government including many of the rich and famous like:
- Donald Trump
- H. Ross Perot
- Nike Shoes
- Federal Express
- George W. Bush, and
- Dick Cheney
-
So why don’t you use this government money too? It’s out there waiting for any citizen, or even a non-citizen (as long as you are here legally), to take advantage of. You just have to know where to go. And for the last 25 years I have written over 100 books telling people where to go. I’ve sold over 3 million copies, 2 were on the New York Times Best Sellers list and 2 received awards for best reference book of the year by the American Library Association. I’ve also written columns for the New York Times Syndicate and Good Housekeeping Magazine, and the Chicago Tribune Syndicate. And if you owned a TV in the last 15 years you may have seen me on shows like Oprah, Larry King, the Today Show, Letterman and Leno acting crazy in my question mark suits.
I hope this information helps you do what you always wanted to do in life. It is not meant to be a definitive listing of available money but only a starting point for you to realize that there are literally billions of dollars out there waiting for every American citizen to fulfill their dreams. You just have to know where to go.
$200,000 From Washington To Open Or Expand A Business
You can actually get up to $1,000,000 in grants and or loans to open or expand a business from the U.S. Federal Government alone. There are over 100 different money programs available from offices ranging from the U.S. Small Business Administration to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to the U.S. Department of Commerce. For the best source identifying all federal only government money programs available, look at a government published book called The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance published by the U.S. Government Printing Office (www.gpo.gov) or look at it for free on the web at www.cfda.gov. Another good starting place to find anything in the federal government is a free service called the Federal Information Center at

"How Would You Like To Start Earning Buckets Full Of Cash Simply By Teaching Other People What You Already Know?
Protégés Will Actually Pay Their Hard Earned Cash To Have You Teach Them Things You Never Imagined They Would Have Any Interest In Learning!"
|
You're about to learn how you can start raking in cash while building a power network of Protégé's that will bring you new business without creating a huge products!
Dear Friend,
Would you like to find a way to help people and make money doing it at that same time?
It's not impossible. You don't have to write a book on the subject to make an impact on the Internet either.
You can make a killing just offering your specialized knowledge as a Mentor.
You may be asking, "If I'm not going to be selling a book, what could I possibly be offering?"
There's a way that you can give customers much more value than you could ever give them with a book or any other kind of training aid....
What could this be?
Becoming A Personal Mentor For Huge Profits!
Being a personal mentor is nothing more than teaching a person or persons something that you're good at. This can be anything.
If you're a good gardener, swimmer or driver you can teach these things to people for profit!
I want you to take just a second and imagine that you are out searching for a product to buy on how to effectively catch rainbow trout (which is a fish).
You come across two products. One is a book and the other is a personal mentoring program.
With the book, you get the book and a couple of small reports as a bonus and that's it.
With the personal mentoring, you get a personal mentor that is there personally to guide you to the success you want.
It's plain to see that the personal mentorship is going to be much more valuable to you.
Obviously you'd want someone watching what you're doing and telling you when you're making a mistake or doing something right, etc.
With a book, you don't know if you're making a mistake.
You Can Teach Long Horn Cattle Ranching, Web Design, or even Internet Marketing With Your Own Mentorship & Make A Serious Amount Of Money, While Teaching What You Already Know!
There are no limits to what you can teach as a mentor. People are constantly looking for specialized information taught by a person who is viewed as an expert.
If you know how to sew great oven mitts and other household items, you could be a personal mentor!
If you know how to work on power nail guns and how to fix them, you could be a personal mentor!
The key point here is "You can teach anything your heart desires" and chances are, there are people out there that are interested in what you have to offer!
Can you think of a few things that you are good at that you never thought of teaching other people?
I bet you can, we all have things we're good at.
The trick is learning how to turn those skills into cash...
You're About To Uncover The Secret Treasure Of Working With Your Own Group Of Protégé's For Big Time Profits
Now, you may be a bit apprehensive when it comes to being a personal mentor.
After all, how are YOU going to be a personal coach to someone?
Not to worry, this was the basic concept that these secret techniques were created around!
You don't need to have loads of experience or a complicated background in teaching or coaching. It's all been arranged for you in a system so simple even a child could pass with flying colors...
If you can read and follow directions, you can become a Mentor and attract your own group of protégé's for profit, production and fun!
|
What If I Dread Creating A Product?
Even if you dread creating a product or just don't want to put together a big book or manual, success is still yours for the taking.
Being a mentor isn't like any product that you've been exposed to before. You don't need to create hundreds of pages of text to give your Protégé's what they need and want to learn from.
You are offering your mind, your personal time and most importantly, yourself to your Protégé's which they will value much more.
So if you've been looking for a way to make a killing with your own product or service but just don't have the time to flesh out a whole product, Mentoring is definitely for you!
Being A Mentor Is As Easy As Following This Plan Of Action

Ticket Price Tag I Can't Afford Right?
I realize that you have probably purchased loads of books and products that have promised to teach you how to start your own business.
I also realize that nearly none have delivered on the promises they've made and you may be leery of making another purchase.
So I've come up with a solution for you.
You're going to get your hands on the all new Mentor Fortunes manual for a measly $47, no strings attached. Why would I sell it at such a low price?
Simple, I want you to get great value for your money so that later on, you'll possibly want to purchase more of my great, affordable products.
You'll notice that I never charge an arm and a leg for top notch information because I want you to be happy and return for any of your other informational needs in the future.
I'm sure you'll agree that $47 is an almost laughably low price.
