You don't. There is no such thing as a grant to start your own business. About three quarters of all grants that the U.S. government hands out every year are in healthcare and education. Generally, most of the grants go to universities and university-affiliated research organizations; some go to state and local governments; very few, to for-profit businesses; almost none, to individuals. See for yourself:

There are TONS of grants out there waiting for people to grab them. The thing is, you have to fulfill the grant requirements.

There are a LOT of grant websites out there ("Personal Finance 101 - A Beginner's Guide" found on Amazon.com or www.goldenRocFinancial.com) has a great list of resources. There are government websites where you can find out that information, too. Google "grants for business" and you'll get hundreds, if not thousands, of hits.

Most grants for businesses are for specific things, such as research in highly technical areas or medical research or alternative energy, etc.

BEWARE: Make sure that you don't buy "Grant Kits" or anything like that. You'll be wasting your money for something that you can easily find out for yourself.

When applying for a grant, follow the instructions to the letter. If you don't, you will likely be disqualified from the selection process.

If you want FREE or low-cost resources for starting and running a business, check out the Small Business Administration (www.sba.gov) and your local Service Corp of Retired Executives (SCORE--www.score.org). They have free counselling, low cost classes on starting and running a business, low cost loans, and much, much more.

It is very hard to get a grant for starting a business unless you meet specific criteria. You could try a low interest loan. Check the following sites.

want to start your own business without all the hassle?

If you are coachable, teachable and open-minded.
Basically, I found myself in a position where:

• I never had any free TIME to spend with my friends and family.
• I worked a JOB that I was thankful for but not satisfied with,
• I always had more months at the end of my MONEY,
• And like many of you… I am sure… HEALTH is a major concern for you as it is for me. Can anybody on the call relate to what I am saying? I am so fortunate to be able to introduce to you… what was shared with me that have without question… changed my life.
