is there any where a person can apply for a grant to start a business without buying a cd or a book that costs something?

?? I am broke and my checking account is in the negatives. I needed to buy groceries for two other children. By the way does anyone have any ideas on how to help me with some teenagers that think they should be handed everything in the world and still don’t understand that this family is still in the whole from their sister having cancer and passing away.

If you live in Canada, I know that the government employment offices have reams of forms and paper on how to apply for grants and starting your own business.

boogerbutt, our best advice to you today would be to hang onto your dream of starting your own busines and when you have made enough changes in your thinking to be a successful business owner you can apply to the Small Business Administration for a small business loan, but not yet. Why? Your business will end up in the same shape your life is in right now and your bad problems would become much, much worse. Can you see this?

Your local township or borough may have applications for small businesses

you are totally right. I do have to get things to gather and try to place things into some kind of a orderly fashion. I think part of the problem is that I have never done anything. When our daughter Amanda was sick, I tried to control everything and everyone around her. Plus, than when she passed away, I had to be in control again because my husband lost it and had to seek treatment for drinking. So, I controlled the house and the other two children, ran them to their activities and such. Plus, I worked a full time. This Fed. I crashed. I did get treatment for depression and I had serve panic attacks which I receive treatment for. I am just so use to always doing something. I shouldn’t place all my eggs together in the basket. But, the other thing that I worry about is that, I did interview for a preschool position and they said that everything I said they liked but I haven’t taught in 10 years. So, I am worried about my age and how things change. I just want to be with preschools and look at things their way. To be with no judging people and color, paste and play in the sand again. To learn the letters ABC with whip cream.
