Winning the Ohio Lottery or Obtaining a Business Loan What is harder
According to Google Trends the top 20 most searched words in December include:
Michigan Lottery
Mega Millions Winning Numbers
Ohio Lottery
Georgia Lottery
Megamillions.com
Russian Roulette (currently 32, but is this a bad sign?)
Just last month the hottest search was Britney Spears, or some sort of a football game. It is evident that the mega millions are more important during the holiday season. What about our small business owners? Where do they turn to get financing for their business?
There seems to be a quest right now, for the hidden treasure. Small business owners are looking everywhere for the business financing, business loans, or any type of business credit cards to get them through the harsh winter. 2008 is coming to an end, and on top of all small business owners’ minds – Where to obtain business financing in 2009?
President-elect Barrack Obama has promised bridges and roads, while the Treasury assured that lending will continue with joint efforts from Citi Group. Hopes are high, but the question still remains – where to obtain business financing in 2009?
For most of you that are reading this blog, hitting the Ohio Lottery sounds like a more feasible option; I’m not going to lie, that sounds better to me too. But the reality is that there are plenty of smaller lenders that are trying to grab the market share, you just have to know where to look. So if you are on the quest to find the hidden treasure, why don’t you start with an online search.

Re: Ideas For Business
- wow! thanks everybody, you guys sure have some really cool ideas.
I love the game competition one, I would host it if my house had all the space.
This week, Stas caught a flu going around and was too sick to go out and sell anything.
However once he gets better next week we will try the Lottery chocolate idea and see how that goes.
Thank you everyone for all the tips and ideas again, it's really supportive and helpful.
