Video from our FREE Online Business Course www.myownbusiness.org Session 9 How to Finance Your Business Question "What is the worst mistake people make when making a loan request?" Rod Banks Executive Vice President, City National Bank Topics covered in this video: Business loans, financing, mistakes, preparation, using a business plan There are a lot of mistakes that first time entrepreneurs can make when making a loan request. The first one is not having that business plan: one of the most important tools a start up entrepreneur can have. It will describe your business and tell the banker what your vision is for your company and where you want to ultimately take your company. Not being able to articulate that vision is another mistake that people have. Someone might say that they want to be in the automotive business but they don't do a good job of explaining exactly what specialty they actually want to be in. Also I would say having unrealistic financing expectations. A lot of people come in and expect the moon. You've got to realize you don't have that track record yet to present to a banker. So you've got to be realistic. Lastly, you've got to be professional in how you approach the banker. You really do need to be prepared; you need to think it through and perhaps present your business plan to some friends to let them ask questions about it. So, the more professional you become, the better off you're going to be in that loan application phase.

Thanks for the good info on how to get grants. It is possible to obtain a grant. Many people don't believe that they qualify. You better start informing yourself hehe. Anyway I wouldn't pay for any kind of information since it's all out there for free.

Anyway, if you want to see how my close friend Derek and I got a grant then you can visit my blog. You can find the link on the left side of my channel.

Please thumbs up, ONLY if you REALLY LIKED it.

Is it true that a scholarship or federal grant decreases your likelihood for getting accepted to a good college?

Starting a nursing degree (or any professional degree) at a community college could save a lot of money. But how do I know whether my credits will transfer to a state school? Is there a way to confirm whether the courses I take at a community college will count when I get to my next school? I've looked Kambeo dot com and a few other sites for this information, but it's hard to find.

Does anyone have advice on starting a degree at a community college? I am looking for ways to save money, but will my credits transfer for a BS program? I've checked on Kamebo for some info.

I'd recommend anyone considering college to view College Conspiracy before making a decision. Even if you don't agree with it, it gives you a lot to think about, things you haven't heard from mainstream sources.
