Thank you to everyone that emailed your questions in! I greatly  appreciate it. I thought I  would share some of the questions that I received the names have been omitted!

Do you really have experience helping people start their own business?

Yes! I have helped friends and families for over 10 years  in some form or fashion understand their passion and turn it into a business or help them set  up a non-profit.

 I’m afraid to start my business- exactly what is my first step?

Being afraid is OK it is when you let that fear STOP  YOU- that is NOT  OKAY. The first step is to call for your FREE 30 MINUTE CONSULTATION. Always put  your ideas on paper! It is easier to keep up with and it makes it a reality when
you see it written down.

I just need to find a grant that is going to give me money to fix my house and maybe go back to
school.

 Researching for a grant is easy. Applying for a  grant and actually receiving one is NOT EASY. There are a ton
of grants out there that may help you do what you would like to do  HOWEVER; you must do the ground work
FIRST. Meaning you have to be willing to do the work required for the grant. 
 
My friends are always asking for me to “hook them up".

 Well if you continue to ‘hook up’ your friends they are the only ones  benefiting from your hard work!  At some point you have ask yourself the  question why are you just giving your information away?

I really want to start something but I don’t have the money and I  have can’t afford to pay someone to help me.

 There are things you can do first. For example your business plan, organizing your thoughts  and ideas of how you want to run the business what product or services you are  going to offer. All the while you can be saving for the things that you will need money for  (i.e. licenses, forms, and applications).


These are just a few of the great questions that I received.

 I ask that you do just one thing before the day ends….OR before your begin  your day

Take a pen and paper and write down ONE THING that you are going to  DO DIFFERENTLY TODAY THAN YOU DID YESTERDAY! It can be as small or as  big as you choose. For some saying fewer curse words than the day before or
perhaps, not complaining the first 10 minutes you’re at work.

I promise if you do this exercise every day you will start to notice change  in your thinking, your attitude and most of all your ACTIONS!

Most people think I want a Non Profit. Or if only I had grant  money- then I would be set. Unfortunately, that is not the
complete story and it does not work that easy!

You must be dedicated to start a Non Profit; there is work that has to be done BEFORE you start receiving grant money.


I am going to make the steps as simple as possible for you on how to start a Non Profit and then I will answer some questions that everyone wants to know the answer too.

1. Decide what your Non Profit will do? What service will you be providing? Is  your nonprofit needed?
2. Establish your Board of Directors.
3.  Reserve your name with the Secretary of State.
4.  File Articles of Incorporation- pay fees.
5.  Create By-Laws and submit to the State. Apply for an EIN.
6. Apply for 501C3 status with IRS (Form 123) pay fees.
7.  Apply for exception for State Corporate  income tax and franchise tax (if applicable).
8.  Workers Compensation Insurance- if you have four (4) or more Full time or part-time employees.
9.  File Unemployment Taxes if those same employees work a total of 20  weeks in a calendar year.

 FQA’s

 1.      How   soon will I be able to find and receive grant  money?
a.       Researching  for a grant is a FULL TIME job! It  is something you must do every day. 
b.     Once  you find a grant- you must apply and  IF you are award the grant money- it is allocated to do specific things. IT IS NOT YOURS TO SPEND FREELY! 

2.      How  much money will I receive from a grant to pay myself? 
a.       It  depends on the grant and if salary is allowed. When you apply for a grant it  will give you GREAT detail on how they want you to spend THEIR  MONEY.

3.      Can  someone guarantee me that I will be awarded a  grant?
a.       NO.  You are competing with other organizations. The best thing you can do is to
  follow their instructions and pay attention to every  detail.

4.      How  do I really get started? 
a.       Easy-  follow the steps I gave above. OR
b.     Google-  How to Start a Non Profit.   You can include the state you are living in to give you the guidelines for that
  state.

So I have given some very basic steps on how to get started and  what to do.
