Site accepting applications through October 2008

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas, Sept. xx, 2008 – The popular WomensNet.net Amber Grant (http://www.womensnet.net/Amber-Grants/apply.php) is back—and for women starting small businesses, this year’s $500 grant could make all the difference.

With an application deadline of October 31st, 2008, the WomensNet.net Amber Grant helps cover start-up expenses like buying or upgrading equipment, hiring a Web site designer or advertising.

“Our primary focus is assisting women who are trying to start small home-based or online businesses,” explained Josh Prewitt, president of WomensNet.net. “No repayment is required or expected, although WomensNet.net hopes the winner will pass on the kindness by mentoring and helping others along the way.”

Business success folklore says that you should find your ‘passion’ and use this as the foundation for starting and building your business. That’s a great idea, I agree, but what about all of the crud stuff that goes along with running a business?

No matter what the core of your business is, or how much you love it, there are always tasks that have to be done…..that you simply don’t like, or aren’t especially good at doing. Maybe you’re an artist who hates the marketing side of business, or a chef that would rather eat nails than do the billing…

Okay, you’ve made the big decision to go the entrepreneurial route - you have finally decided that J-O-B really does stand for ‘just over broke’ - but do you launch a business online (is anyone really making money there?) or do you go the ‘real world’ route and open up a real land based business (yikes! the start up costs!)

This is a question that I get asked all of the time - and it’s a tough one for most people to answer.
