		<description>I must admit that this is one great insight. It surely gives a company the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and really take part in creating something special and tailored to their needs.

		<description>I couldn&#039;t create a PowerPoint presentation if I really wanted to...and I don&#039;t.  This author has been an associate of mine for nearly two years and is very well connected in Chicago. I&#039;ve found VAs, in general, to be energetic and honest.</description>

		<description>Yes, today on NPR I heard - when talking about the music industry - I paraphrase, everyone knows the price but no one knows the value. We may be turning back around as a nation in that regard, as the consumer reclaims some savvy. I hope so anyway and I think we may have the Boomers to thank for for the initial upswing.</description>

		<description>I have to add a caveat about *grants* however -- they are very, very few and far between for small businesses.  Most of what SBA does, for example, is backing loans provided by banks.  There are other financing sources, such as local Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) which may themselves receive federal grants in order to operate their programs.

But by far the vast majority of resources available to small businesses are in the form of loans -- or contracting opportunities.  My job involves helping small businesses in St Louis try to identify contracting opportunities.  Believe me, I get the &quot;where&#039;s my grant?&quot; question every other day these days!</description>
