Help with cash flow

First, some tough love: Grant died.

The successful businesses I've seen over the last 40 years don't rely on grants. They rely on selling a product or service, and running the business profitably.

If you think you need a grant, you won't be able to compete with other construction companies. Having a construction background is the most important for you right now. If you don't have the industry experience, you'll just be throwing away any capital get from any source.

Please understand I'm not telling you that you can't be a construction owner. Plenty of women are running successful construction companies -- but they started their businesses after gaining experience. And that experience taught them how to find the working capital they needed.
