Entrepreneur Grants
Essential?

Entrepreneur grants? Here is how you can do without them ... at least until your business is booming so much that you need capital to grow, just to meet the rising demand.

What follows also applies to grants for women entrepreneurs.

Many, too many entrepreneurs want to go from dead stop to full cruising speed as rapidly as possible ... with money (grants).

A Grant Never Comes Free

Many even consider grants as free money for entrepreneurs. This could never be farther from the truth.

  • A grant gives the "donor" a right to preempt some of your decisions.

  • A grant forces you to relinquish part of the total control you should always have on your business.

I have explained elsewhere on this site that you should not pump money - even if you have it - into buying equipment, hiring staff, building or renting floor space ... until you have the customers and cash flow to justify such expenses!

I know. It sounds like a "catch 22".

But, it is worth repeating.

First Things First

You must never invest more money than is actually needed to acquire an enviable reputation as someone people can trust for reliable advice.

Such trust will eventually bring people to buy products and services from you, rather than from the competition.

You certainly do not need entrepreneur grants to acquire a reputation! Far from it. Trust me.

A Word On Advertising

Spending a lot of money on advertising might get people to know that you exist ... for a time, during the advertising campaign.

They will still have to get to know you and trust you. There is a much more effective way than advertising for that. More on this in a moment.

Besides, what happens after the advertising campaign?

Once a significant number of people believe in you and trust you, then, and only then should you go into the business of meeting the rising demand for your products and/or services.

What is a significant number of people?

When at least 20 to 30 new individuals come to you, every day, for advice and answers to their questions. Then you know that you have acquired the reputation to safely go into business.

Not before.
