2021 Grant Qualifications

 Hello Family… Hope all is well… This year has been challenging for all Business Owners especially Small and Startup businesses but there is hope for those who have taken a “LOSS” in their businesses… More Government Money and Grants will be available now and in 2021… So you need to be prepared… EIN number, TAXES (LOSS) and a Business Bank account will be required… The list of questions below should be written out and saved to your computer when applying for a Grant (Grants do not have to be paid back).

1. Describe your Product/Service?
2. Is your business independently owned and operated?
3. Which of the following best describes the business owner? Race- Black, etc.
4. Email, Address (it does not matter If virtual or home-based address- NO P.O. BOXES), phone number, your name…
5. What is your relationship to the business? (Owner)
6. Are you a virtual business, or does your business have a physical store location? Online website is OK…
7. Are you currently a Business customer (example- PayPal, Lowes, etc.)? Be truthful they will check…
8. Is your business a home-based business? It’s Ok to be a home based business…
9. What year was your business established?
10. Business Website URL, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube (Make sure you have all your URLs available and save on your computer…
11. How many employees do you have currently?
12. What was your gross revenue in 2019?
13. How do your services impact your community and larger market?
14. How do you use technology in your business today, and what technology do you lack that would help your business thrive? (example marketing)
15. How have this year’s challenges affected your ability to operate your business?
16. What are some of the challenges you've experienced this year?
17. How would support from the Grant impact your business and help it grow?
18. Provide a link to a video of you telling us more about your business – unique aspects, community impact, challenges faced, etc. (Optional) (You don’t have to do this but this extra step might help your chances of winning the Grant)…
19. What sets your company apart from others in your industry? Is there a unique aspect to your company that you could use as a point of differentiation? (Black Owned, Veteran Owned, Woman Owned etc.)...
20. Finally family, this process may take some time to become the next GRANT WINNER so be patient (it could be months) … Make sure you check your business email (spam or junk folder for updates). If your business is selected for a Grant, you will need to provide your business bank account, maybe SSN or EIN depending how your business is set up and also a copy of your last year TAXES... Lastly, there is a lot of money out here for small businesses who have suffered a “LOSS”… Hopefully this will help someone's business... These were just some of the the questions and documents that I had to provide when I was selected as a 2020 PAYPAL GRANT as a WINNER which helped my business survive and transition to a stronger online presence during these tough times… Lastly remember family that GRANTS may have multiple rounds so save your information on the computer if you are not chosen the first round... Good Luck, Stay Motivated and don’t give up on your business…

Hooking Up

When I was in college, there was something called 'hooking up.'  I'm not sure if people still use the term now, but back then it was an inconspicuous term. It could mean anything. When you asked your roommate, 'so what happened between you and the guy last night?'  And she would reply 'We hooked up.' It could mean anything from first base all the way up to home run.  It could mean a kiss, it could mean that they did it raw. Who knows?  You would have to ask a series of  follow-up questions to get to the bottom of what happened. I find it interesting in today's day and age the way women and men treat each other. Seems like no one wants responsibility. Where are the good men that stay until the morning and call the next day?  Where are the good women that can cook and keep a house? Does anyone know what do to after the hook up? It seems to me like our culture and hip-hop songs glamorize the temporary pleasures of sex without mentioning anything about r
