Lessons From Lesko: America’s Favorite Money-Finding Guru

Thursday, 24 May 2007 @ 1:29pm • Web Business

My Guest today was a best-selling author who appears regularly on network television shows and travels the country appearing on just about every newscast in the top 100 markets. His stage antics, as well as his sound consumer advice has made him a favorite guest on Larry King Live, Good Morning America, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Jay Leno, Letterman and The Today Show, as well as QVC.

His signature wardrobe featuring suits covered with neon question marks, mismatched bright socks, wild bow ties make him one of the most recognized personalities today. He’s published over 70 books showing everyday people how to get free services and products from the federal government and He even drives the only Lexus with yellow polka dots.

Can you guess who?
Yep. TV Personality and America’s Favorite Money-Finding Guru - Matthew Lesko!
Matthew is a person of passion who gave LOTS of valuable information for the “average Joe” who is trying to grow or start a business. Here are some of the key points he mentioned:

1. Do what you love doing.
Most people don’t do what they love and so in the end they find that they’ve wasted dollars and years on something they either don’t like or don’t believe in. Why waste that time and money when the government has programs and funding for you to do what you want?

2. Follow your heart.
Creating excitement around your passion will attract the money. When people see you are adding value and offering a needed service or product, word will get around and the money will come.

3. Don’t be afraid of Uncle Sam.
The government HAS TO give away this money! It’s yours for the taking but you have to play by their rules to get it. Learn the rules. Play the game. Get the Check. It’s really that simple.

4. Don’t ask for GRANTS. (This is one that hit home for ME)
When you call around asking for GRANTS, you cut yourself off from the rest of the FREE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE that is out there. Ask for grant information and you will most likely ONLY get answers about grant information. Ask about “Free Assistance” and you just may get different answers…

5. Apply for as many programs as you can.
It may be time consuming and nerve wracking but if you don’t apply you most definitely won’t stand a chance to get the money. Most often government programs DON’T have qualification requirements for age, skill, educational background, or even personal credit, SO start applying!

Lots more to tell, but then you could just listen to the replay…www.webbusinessownership.com/lesko
