Lesko served as an information and government money consultant to thousands of private clients including many of the countrys Fortune 500 companies. He has written over 100 books on the money and information available from government and other non-traditional sources. Two of his books were New York Times Best Sellers and two received awards for the Best Reference Book of the Year from the American Library Association.

He is undoubtedly the most qualified person the United States to present all these little-known sources of business money.
Who Gets This Money Each year over 1,000,000 entrepreneurs and businesses use these government money programs to start or grow their businesses, including big business and big time entrepreneurs like: - Donald Trump - H. Ross Perot - Nike Shoes - Federal Express Before they entered the White House, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney took advantage of these government money programs for their businesses. Theyre not dumb. They know where the money is. While running Halliburton Company, Vice Presidential Candidate Dick Cheney received over $1.5 billion from the U.S. Export-Import Bank and the Overseas Private Investment Bank to finance his overseas sales. He also received over $2.3 billion in federal contracts during the 5-year period he was in charge. Presidential Candidate Bush received $200 million worth of government money to build a new stadium while he was in charge of the Texas Rangers baseball team. In five years this project raised the value of his original $606,302 investment to $14.9 million. But this money is not just for fat cats. Its also for people like: - Blanca Basson, who received $30,000 to start a music jingle business in her home
- Keith Ross and Gil Rodrigues, who got $100,000 to start a coffee shop - Michelle and Mark Levendoski, who received $35,000 to start their own exclusive hair salon - Michael Williams, who received over $1,000,000 for his consulting business
How to Use Leskos Business Money Finder Its not at all complicated: 1) Review each of the programs for those that may fit your needs 2) Print out those applications you feel are most suited to your needs 3) Fill out the application and send it in for your money
This Is Earth Not Heaven If life was perfect, you could just fill out the applications, mail them in, and sit back and wait for the money. As we all know, few things in life are this simple or perfect. No matter what you are doing, life will continue to put up hurdles and little glitches all along the way. If these obstacles werent there, then it wouldnt be life. It would be heaven. And were not there yet. Here are some things you can do that will cut down on the glitches, lower the hurdles and ultimately increase your chances of getting the money: 1) Call First: This cant hurt. Try to get as much additional information about the program as you can. Talk with someone at the office so that you can get a name of someone to keep as a contact. Those who are most successful in using the system are those that are not afraid to do three things: Call. Call. Call. Make It Personal: Remember its the bureaucrats at these offices who have power over the money. The more you can personalize your application the easier it will be to get their attention. Believe it or not, these bureaucrats are actually human beings. Think of it as being back in school. Remember the good brown- nosers? They were the students whod meet with the teacher after class and not only talk about school but would talk about their life. Show the teacher pictures of the family dog. Talk about how much they liked baseball anything to get the teacher to relate to them not as a student but as a person. Once the teacher sees a student as a person, its hard to flunk them no matter how bad they are. Its no different with these bureaucrats. They have the power to pass or
2)
fail you on your money exam. The more they get to know you as a person the more likely they are to help you pass the test. And they certainly have the power to help, because they are the ones who give out the money. So when you are talking to them dont be afraid to talk about personal stuff along with the professional. 3) How To Treat A Bureaucrat: When you are calling around to government offices getting a lot of voice mail or being put on hold, its hard to remember how important that person is who finally answers the telephone. Thats the person who can give you the money. So how well you treat them can determine your success or failure in getting what you need. If when the person answers the phone you start yelling because youve been sitting on hold for the past 10 minutes, you dont sound like you are going to be the highlight of that persons day. Remember, that bureaucrat gets paid the same amount of money whether they help you for free for two weeks or hang up on your right after you say hello. What you have to do is try to get that person to want to spend time with you. You want them to enjoy talking with you. The more comfortable they are in talking with you, the more likely they are to share inside information that will increase your chances and make it easier for you to get the money. Its basic common sense things like: a) Dont be nasty when they answer the phone the first words out of your mouth can set the stage for the entire conversation. b) Dont act like you hate them for the fact that they are sitting on the money (even though it may be true) because this will come through in your conversation and they will not want to help you. c) Send thank you notes when people are exceptionally nice because it is the best way to ensure that you are remembered the next time you call. I can go on and on but simply put . TREAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. Belly To Belly Cash Flow: If giving good phone increases your odds of getting the cash, then face to face will do even that much more. This may not be practical or even possible all the time, but it is certainly another way for a bureaucrat to put a face with an application and this will make it that much harder for her to just say no. Dont Wait: I really mean this dont wait until the last minute to apply. Especially with those offices that only give out money at certain times of the year. As deadline time approaches, the bureaucrats can become too busy to provide you with any individualized help. So the best strategy is to call early and call often. Theres Always Next Year: Sure the government runs out of money. It happens every year. But the good news is that the office will get their coffers filled again for the following year. Thats why it is important to remember that if you talk to an office and they say they have run out of money, ask them when their fiscal year ends. Because the day after that you can call again. Thats the day they get another years worth of money. Get A Copy Of The Test Ahead Of Time: Wouldnt it have been great if when you were in school you had a way to get a copy of the test days before you took the exam? Well, its legal when youre getting government money. Under the Freedom of Information Act laws at the federal level and in

most states, successful applications for government money are available for view to the public. Remember this is taxpayers money theyre giving out, and as a taxpayer you have a right to see how they are spending it. It may not be the easiest thing to do but under the law you can get them. The caveat you may run into is that the agency has the right to block out those portions of the applications that may reveal confidential information about the applicant, like detailed financial information. You may want to weigh the benefits of having such a document against the hassle of the procedure for getting one. One way to help you decide is by carefully looking at the questions on a blank application and trying to understand how seeing a completed one might help. Many applications require only that information which is so personal to you that seeing others may be of no value at all. 8) Bad Credit Can Make You Eligible: Remember this is the government and a lot of things just dont make sense. We are not here to explain why some programs exist, we are here simply to show you that they do exist. And its true, there are programs that are set up for entrepreneurs to get money to start a business if they have less than stellar credit. Actually many government programs have been established primarily to serve people who cant get money elsewhere. Yours is not the reason why, yours is just to apply. No Doesnt Mean No: The older I get the more I believe that the only time no means no is in sexual harassment cases. There are times when bureaucrats will say, no, you dont qualify, or no, we dont give money for what you want to do, just because its the easiest thing to say or they dont really know what they are talking about. A few years back. Steven Stern, a young man from Boston, saw me on the David Letterman show telling the audience about a government program that gives money to teenage entrepreneurs. He contacted the appropriate office and they said that he could not apply for the money because it was only for teenagers who lived in small towns and Boston was not considered a small town. Steven tracked me down and asked what he could do. I wasnt sure, but said that before you give up get a copy of the programs literature. When he got the literature he read it closely. It certainly said that the money was indeed for teens in small towns, but a separate line also stated that it was for teens who wanted to start lawnmower service businesses. That was exactly what Steven wanted to do. He contacted the office and after he told them what their own literature said, they gave him the money. And that $2,000 he got to start a lawnmower service business earned him over $10,000 a year to put himself through college. A no may also be changed to a yes because an office may be trying to get rid of more of their money towards the end of their fiscal year because not enough people have applied for it. Or a no may become a yes because the official misunderstood the real importance of your project or is simply not creative enough to understand how to bend the objective of your project to meet the objectives of the money program.
9)
10) Apply Everywhere: If youre not sure exactly which program to apply to, then apply everywhere. The worst thing that can happen is that you get too much money! Thats a nice problem to have. You can always give it back. You can also take the approach of thinking nationally but acting locally. Keep in mind that there are federal programs you can eventually turn to, but start applying at the local level first and see how you do. The local level is where officials are going to be more sensitive to your
needs and have a better understanding of you and your project. Eventually, you can turn to the state and finally go up to the federal government. 11) The Columbo Effect: There was a detective series on television back in the 70s and 80s called Columbo starring Peter Falk. (Im showing my age here.) He was a sloppy person who always wore a raincoat that looked like he slept in it. When he was interviewing suspects he always took the approach of being very humble even to the point of acting dumb and unassuming. By the end of the interview, even as he was walking out the door and the suspect thought that she was in the clear, Columbo would turn around and ask one more question that would cut right to the heart of the matter and expose the suspect as the real criminal. Now, your mission is not to expose any bureaucratic wrongdoing but you do want to ask one last question before you leave your conversation. Especially if the encounter proved to be unproductive in getting the money you need. The question you have to ask while walking out the door is, Do you know of anywhere else to get money? Remember that you contacted these people believing that they could help get you money, so if they dont have any themselves it is certainly possible that if they have been in their business for awhile they may know of other colleagues or offices that run other money programs. Try to get them to stretch their imagination a little or even ask other people in their office. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
12) Maybe You Dont Need All The Money You Think You Do: Many people who are thinking of starting or expanding a business believe that money will solve all their problems. But its not always so. Think about doing your business with just a little or maybe, no money at all. Anyone can do things with a lot of money, but a true entrepreneur does it with little or no money. Its easy to spend lots of money buying the latest hi-tech equipment and spending big money on advertising and then hoping for the best. But can you get customers without spending money on advertising and then borrowing someones equipment when you need it to do the work? Many businesses today only require a phone and a business card to be in business. This is certainly true of service businesses and even many information businesses. You can be a web designer or a pet sitter and all you need is a business card to show you are in business. The key to being in any business in getting customers.
Programs With No Applications There are some money programs that do not have applications included on this CD ROM. These organizations are mostly local in nature and insist that they personally meet with you before they provide you with an application. Organizations with these restrictions are noted in their cover sheet descriptions. It is important that you do not rely solely on the application file for identifying potential money sources. You must also review the program descriptions to ensure that you are taking advantage of all the potential opportunities.
A Caution About Website Addresses Our website address list in the descriptions of the programs may be lengthy because, when possible, we try to give you the address that goes directly to the page that describes the program. If you have trouble using a web site address or it appears to not be active, there are a number of things you can do before you start searching on your own. You may be able to get there by not using the complete address. For example if you put in www.choosemaryland.com/finance/medaaf.htm and you receive a notice that Page cannot be found, try putting in www.choosemaryland.com and work your way through the site to where you would like to go. Sometimes simply retyping the address in your web browser instead of clicking though an address in a document will lead to success. These techniques should definitely be tried before you try to attack unruly search engines. Theres Always More We have dozens of the countrys best researchers working on this project and no matter how hard we try we will never capture every single program available. Though we are constantly updating to keep this material as current as we possibly can, in our society things change daily and even hourly. Just like your local telephone book, as soon as this product is in print it is out of date. As a result, you may find a program that has been cancelled since we updated your edition or there may even be additional programs that our researchers failed to uncover. So keep an open mind. And enjoy the excitement of discovering that pearl that even the experts are not aware of. Happy Hunting! Matthew Lesko P.S. More is on the way. We are working on a project that will include applications for money programs from state and local governments, non-profit organizations, venture capitalists, and small business friendly banks.
