Several states have small business government grants. These are not offered by the federal government but a number of state-run development agencies provide free government grants.

Have you pulled up to the gas pump lately and thought about how cheap gas is? If so, that's called conditioning. We've been conditioned over the last few months by the high gas prices that $2 per gallon is cheap. I'm sure the oil companies hope it stays there, and they've conditioned us to accept it.Look inside your restaurant.
