Aidpage wants me to do a blog, once in a while, I don't do blog's. What's a blog? To me it's just someone running off a the head about a subject that person thinks they know something about. A letter to yourself.
Well , I have been known to run off at the mouth before, uh, several times. Some times it was even at the right time. I hope this helps some people, because when I first started looking for "grants" I thought I'd be able to fill out a one or two page application and get the grant I was asking for. HAHAHAHAHAHA, it was a joke on me. I bought "books", "software" , and found that with all the money I spent, if I would have looked a little deeper into it on the net, I would not have had to spend the money. Except,I do have some addresses, phone numbers, and places that could bee out of date, and most are. Just like Grantgate, I have received a couple of letters back, because they"could not be delivered".
I have also been disheartened because, the more I look at " business " it's really disappointing.They make it hard for someone to start a business. You need a business plan, to borrow money, and of course to 'give your business more direction' a reminder of what you plan on doing. Gee,how could you forget?If you are just starting up, I don't believe you are going to forget, if you are that stupid, you are going to make it anyway. I mean, come on, if you have had some of the supervisers, and bosses that I have had there are a lot of peple that should be running a business, instead of them. I don't want to get started on that,though!
I grew up thinking that to own a business was a BIG deal, YOU owned it. It was like working for somebody, give them 100% or better to earn your money, proud , that after work you knew you gave your best, you were a part of something that had meaning. Any more though it seems that a lot of businesses are out to get yout money, whether it is by lying, cheating, hook or crook. Where have the business ethics gone, I could tell you but then I couldn't be on Aidpage enymore.
The grants are as bad as the business plans, usually about 30-50 pages long. What gets me is the being able to predict your finances. You start out with zipcus and you either make it or you lose it. To me it seems that those charts are a measure of how good of a liar you are, because in reality, you have No idea only a hunch or a hope that it goes as well as you want it.
Well, I just shot myself in the foot with typing these thoughts out but, oh, well. Stay tuned, in the next 'Blog', I'll give some addresses out . Your comments are welcome. May God Bless.
