Government Grants (TFM 13)

government grants. There's a lot of government money out there. I'm sure you've all seen that crazy infomercial guy with question marks all over his suit telling you about all that free money. Well, guess what? It really exists.

He's getting paid just because he has simply researched the Internet and found the stuff that exists, and he's put it in a book. So he makes all his money basically saying, hey, you could pay him because you are too lazy to look on the Internet yourself, or maybe you just don't know where to look. So you pay him for his book, which is basically the same as the Internet. So here's what happens. At your disposal, there's a ton of resources online that can show you how to be able to get government grants, that can show you how to be able to apply for things, and there's just a lot of things out there, especially if you're not your typical person.

If you've got any sort of disability, or there's different ones for male, female, different ones for different races, different ones for different ages, tons of different. I mean, it's unlimited. It's unlimited. And there's a lot of them for entrepreneurs. And a lot of them, all they require is time, meaning that you've got to basically write for these grants.

You have to fill out forms and write basically why you deserve the money. So what you might do is you might position yourself. Let me talk to the women here, okay? You might position yourself as like, look, I'm a stay-at-home mom, okay? I want to be an entrepreneur, but it's very, very difficult.

I don't have time to go back to school because of raising the kids. I want to make some money, but I wish that I could make more money, so I want to start my own business, and I would like to run my own social media marketing company or internet marketing consulting business. I know tons and tons of people that absolutely would pay for my services in a heartbeat. I just need to get educated, and so here's my plan. I want to get educated through this system.

I want to get all the proper education, learn what to do, and then I want to form my own business, and I want to do this, and I'm a stay-at-home mom. So I'll tell you, when you position it right, there are specific grants specifically for that, for women entrepreneurs, for stay-at-home moms entrepreneurs. There's grants out there for that, grants for different races, different nationalities, different everything. So the downside is it takes time, but if you're somebody who says, hey, Chris, I got all the time in the world, and if I could come up with the money, I'd do it, then there you go. Now, don't waste all your time doing this, but it's something, and also grants do take time.

You might write for a grant. It might not hear a response for three months, but the point is that there is money available. That grant is a possibility.
