Quick way to for money? -

wats a quick way for a 16 year old boy to get money i need it by this Saturday (200)

Go to your neighbors, explain that you are looking to earn some money, and see if they need any odd jobs done, such as painting, or hauling things away from a garage.

I say follow that Star girls advice, you can do shore jobs for other people in your block.I used to do that when I was young and it was quick cash. Is pretty good for you.I m sure you get allowances and if you know your neighborhood very well or area, talk to the people around and let em know. Is a nice lil job on the side for the meantime.

as you are young to do job,you should be honest ask for your self why you need this? for what purpose your going to spend this money and ask your parents DO NOT STEAL its bad

How does one write a proposal to get a grant to start thrift or consignment store? -

I d like get a loan to start either of these stores,I m not sure were to begin

There is no generic grant, and no generic proposal. First you find a grant that fits your need, and then you write a proposal to the specificiations that the grant requests. All Grants are different, and each proposal is unique.The US Government grant web site it http://www.grants.govYou can go there and look, but I am sorry to say there are no grants for personal financial assistance or to start a business. You are going to need a loan. You will find a great deal of information on how to start and fund a new small business at the Small Business Administration web site, http://www.sba.gov

You stand a greater chance of getting a government-guaranteed loan through the Small Business Administration http://www.sba.gov than a government grant. Read the SBA Financing page to learn about criteria needed for borrowing It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for starting a for-profit business. One possible exception is for companies developing or exporting agricultural goods, including food and forest product. Another exception could be the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/�� , which fund the research and development of technological innovation that meets specific government needs.Your best bet actually will be from the states if they offer grant programs for women (or any other special interest groups -- minorities, women, disabled, veterans, etc). Or check with non profit organizations, particularly women organizations if they offer grants. Examples includeIowa Women s Foundation http://www.iawf.org/New Mexico Women s Foundation http://www.nmwf.org/guidelines.htmlEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/mostrequesteditems/CO�� The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.Here is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE S NONE.http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALO��Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women s Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women s business center that will train women entrepreneurs

The best place I found to get all the information about Government Grantswas http://www.mygovernmentcash.com/. Its a online book you buy that tells you everything about every grant, and how to apply for them. I bought it to read up oh how to get a small business grant, and a college grant for my son. I did what the book said and got them both. I hope this helps and goodluck

How many years of business school should I take? -

I am 18-years-old and I graduate high school in January. I am having a little baby boy in March. I have always dreamed of opening up my own hair salon! I plan to go to college for business and go to hair school. How many years of business school would you suggest? Also, should I go to hair school or business school first? Any advice I would greatly appreciate!

Hello there,I do not like to disagree with your father. He knows you better and no doubt has your best interest in mind. However, if you are set on a hair salon, I would think it best to go to beauty school. After you get your license, you can work to help make money for college. The problem with that is the longer you wait to go to college, the hard it is to go to college. You have more things going on in your life. You have so many distractions, you will have a hard time going back to school. Also, you are older than the other students. All of that makes it very hard to go back later and get a college degree of any kind. Yes, it can be done, but it is harder and less likely you will get it done.Another reason I see your father probably wants you to go to college first, is that with a college degree you have more options available to you in your choice of careers. As a beauty school graduate, you have no other option. You are young. You may well change your mind what you want to do. You may find out that the hair salon business is not really like you dreamed it would be. Without the college degree, you are stuck. Either stick it out even though you do not like it, or start over and go back to college to get a degree. Remember my comments about it being harder to succeed in college the longer you wait. Now you have that tougher task ahead of you.Frankly, you may not need a business degree to operate a business. I am a lawyer who advises many small business owners. Most of them do not have college degrees. By the way, a great many small businesses fail and the owners have to find something else to do when their dream business fails.Maybe, you have been around the hair salon business enough to really know what it is like. Someone close to you may run one and you have already seen first hand what it is like. If not, then you may find your dream job is not what you dreamed it would be.The choice is yours. I do not know the facts of your situation. You know them best. Good luck,

Go to cosmetology school first. The program usually ranges from 9 months to a year, depending on how much time you can put in. Also, with this job you can work right when you graduate, even if your only a temp. If you went for your business degree (4 years), you would still not have your job yet, because then you still need beauty school. At least if you finish cosmo school you will have a job quickly and than can make money for your baby and school.

my advice is go to business school first so that you have your own diploma and you can manage your own salon if you are sure to have your own salon, but it is easy to go to salon/s if you are enrolled in hair school and find a job in any beauty salon out there.

go to hair school first so that you have money to open an beauty salon.

A college degree in Business takes 4 years. If you want an MBA, add another 2-3 years.

How do companies get supplies? -

I am starting a kitchen appliance company, and was wondering how do I get the materials? I think that big companies, can make and buy there own materials... but I don t have much money because I am just starting out.If anyone can direct me to a metal company, that would be great.PS: If it helps, I need copper, titanium, aluminum, steel.Possibly Gold or Silver

The best source of wholesale and raw materials is trade magazines for your industry. Also contact trade organizations and unions for information.

Could this work to my advantage? -

OK, I am an aspiring film maker working on saving money for film school which will probably end up costing about $20 grand a year at AAU which is where I wanna go...Mom and I were talking earlier and she had an idea that could gain me more experience and earn money for school at the same time...The idea was to put myself out as a director to anyone who wanted an event directed and edited with professional quality at a semi-professional price... she said I could charge per hour and per DVD made (I was thinking 1st DVD free and charge per extra)If I did consider that, what would be a smart way to get started on that (I was thinking craigslist or a professional facebook) and what would be good to charge?

Advertise in all your local papers print up some flyer s. You can not advertise too much. Yes you would need a website to promote your services and show some samples of your work.I don t know too many regular people who need directors, so you may just want to advertise the photography part with a twist- special events, birthdays,anniversaries and so on.Facebook Myspace are nice personal pages, but not really good for advertising, since anyone who joins you can comment on anything.Tripod offers free websites you can add a guestbook.

I prefer making personal contacts, advertise through friends, peersYou can use local newspapers later..And also you use lots of yellow pages in online other than social networking sitesTwitter is one of the good options if you try it on social networking sites.It is a good planGo for it
