watts yeah i do one better and the other two words two different shoes in la and i think that if i had the kurds were too rich i mean they had an early and that cinema we think that we can feel like i can start a business because i like the most people thought you know what most people would like the lawyers it all and professionalism it's well illustrated dozens of my homey on assad or somewhere and a liability i wonder if our sugar corporation we all have a friend or finds a weird you going somewhere you know that is all you have you know the problem there are no we'll talk to wood jordan like so you

somebody or offer you in costa rica who won three you get information usa then getting yours now you've done this i mean part of the bombing iran other three iraq and i know uganda no and other healthcare next know when lady into this area me what it is you're at the trees line is it's a public service as much as it is i read you are making of iron and i don't mean the bestsellers so the publisher jamil ahmad tried this on your publishing world but what it into this whole business of information i saw it i was one of business and chairman the immigrant or scaffold there was a lot of garment factory and i was one word in business they'll be out of the service or three years to one's mind is what's the war the gi bill of the great business as a computer company there will be a real world and he believes that
is also a world i was broke and then i started this work mergers and acquisitions people back out as a consultancy one a failure become a consultant right ed people like patted down my client on the one looking businesses the comic part of bamako me a point when you start a tuna pasta stores around the us and china pastas and the board of directors of a bright idea her mother in law does it up to zappa so if cops are like me you know why aren't all about boston but what i do see i was in washington to stop and look around the information possible the government has an imam and a build gm's over the pond the commerce who gets paid sixty three the year just as the the past that and he was wonderful and i find this guy and he was like the maytag repairman if you find the spine the problems and in the information on to the next letter of the fall
in the senate that i use on pasta with tom what's not only what money programs available despite positive reviews and so i'd take her take his name off of see nothing in the government's copyright laws i put my name on it i say let the broader deal over thousands and what struck me as these idiots or make a billion dollar decisions are so while now ayers were dying our values in the past and he won an award a jewelry store in nashville you called and solomon with a good information as you call your state data center says that having been a demographic information if i'm going to spend three billion dollars tylenol was important was they couldn't you have access to a price of a phone call a bridal gown super man recall just a ride on down to the mail order bride of the price of a bride
is the breadth of it call the pennsylvania state data center they cranked up their computer for like twenty bucks identify all the zip codes that have high concentrations of unmarried eligible women correlate with bridal dancing on junk car or department store to have been advanced ones and see nobody could afford to do that you're going to somehow extract their town it only are you better call me if you want to do it but the divisions in this country everybody's got a great idea at another during a bow tie or whatever it is and they think are better call attorney and patent your cotton attorney won three grand from or whatever or worse yet economies of these ads are paid for the adventure they can and they're not so good for thousands of pounds and megan and scared and you could call the government offers help you think through your addition to protect your india for only six powers of the disclosure statements awful pang really good for two years long enough to see your ideas seldom aware of the bias could be something else to do and partly i mean they will take it and develop prototypes in price by many
factors for teens jobs ninety percent of all new jobs are going to come from the guys we don't have a country anymore that's what the little guys that are creating ninety percent of these jobs and that's why this is there a phony politician going to re elected george bush out of your service then and the heritage foundation two months ago the front page of the wall street journal mike in our report that the big conservative think that's a george bush is presiding over the largest increase in government spending last thirty years and you're the very back was so you you and how did you find i mean they're out there as yet another well over a thousand source is out at night then and actually there no magic
bothers me and why all these are there's been an archers is a bubble headed by the book or your problems are still not widely viewed by this but you can't begin the nine thousand sources you don't do something with him and there's no magic in the book that really want to give somebody else money in and hauled the proms go away you know it had enduring many the book right here too big numbers you could find anything in this book one is your state capital operate call them up for any question you have in your steak apple everything from free services and they're a special office for women entrepreneurs interstate women who want to start businesses and why because women are starting to lie every three businesses never had no glass ceiling there's a white guys were really starting i was more blunt about women on to the north a more successful than men at starting businesses but all the state and mary yeah i grew up and probably did to the date about your four out of five businesses fail or that it has a start button and
ceo ryanair women are young and seventy five percent of women sick sea city of a seventy five percent chance of succeeding of a woman a man only has its all that data is going to change in the future on a new work and for women going to their special offices the other number is your federal information center and this is set up batches of service than people realize less than in the government has really been even in my book called a statement on wednesday it's a huge is called information or perhaps for us government federal information center i tried my point of reports in our new they'll do for free ivy every these guys up about government auctions like you can get a drug confiscated what was inferred dollars by lightning than you want to know about those auctions your medicine somewhere you know why a three hundred bucks call that number the panda mailing list for all the government auctions in the area and they really do research on and when the government you know can help you sell you on a yacht
drug a drug laws are obvious now let's say as you know a policy numbers are less savory that knows the numbers now you want to get yes hugh downs now around but no one at the samurai information you have a knot in bookstores much so were the eight hundred numbers really find out about the book but even if you don't have the book and i really believe it is was to live by our society anybody else out there really doesn't have the best information and why it was so old ties of what's in the nashville honestly enemy what sells overseas is american cotton can sell cars and the blue jeans are being american culture you would have american culture news exactly music the grand ole opry on now you want us to locate european communities opening up now
right of that you're sitting here with when you got treated store in nashua high were so restrictive than the european community of which are optional communal pages on international and so as the buzzer sounded a drive in from the airport ups or unique artistic outpouring of international division here right here in your state capitol not tell you about not only the state programs of the federal programs and what they'll do for you the farmer would just pat summitt you and so are your trip is different but this ban somebody from the embassy in non their initial marking division of the army cannot continue to bomb not just that somebody from our embassy in paris some stuffing do from the state department like that and i don't have to ninety bucks and nigel has to spend his time looking for three people all over france to represent you and the czech other credit references their bank references everything then what you find a customer
and i don't you find there's another government program the lender customer money over there so they could buy your treatments but do know is that we will look up in the phone book and called some international pennsylvania the charges ninety dollars what the book you know there are thousands of me as if it is out there on the other side of that to us but nobody really knows how to take an idea that a fellow law back tell me that he had developed a new walter you know like you know like for people who are disabled unable and annie hard about internet <unk> true story are a planetary subsequently sold it bought a minimal amount of money a massive corporation but i don't want to vilify the palace three thousand dollars to get her to rest of year and an end and you know that the ideas everyone is out there in it about the mousetrap the nominee over the damage leveling amount for everybody seems to he what the heck to do
because we're all working for somebody else and somebody else's idea dream and we work in organizations wayside device worker summer or something some of us figure not only answers everything and i don't like what was but when it happens you do this would be happy to do that is ian says the wake up every morning and we are necessary thing unless the fund and now i don't know what's happened with the insecurity is what life is you know not knowing attitude to foreign energy what happens to me if i call your eight hundred number and asked about parts of cost though walters well i called so your boy the book in this way and the reason you get is that the uk get into a bookstore there wouldn't even know of you wanna find pasta or anything like that to what's more important than is available without them you don't need to go there and the resources are there you know you've called for information center and they say like a plea deal and a grandmother sixty one year old what it's pretty sure that nasa
with sources in the book the government's underwear expert when the lincolns the us international trade commission twelve years ago i felt anxious and your free report on the teacher for what's the best information or almost anything is probably in the governor eliot we're report on the nightly news about the yogurt business or whatever we try some reporters that have our reading a press release that digested into a map you know one minute sound bite neighbors base a career decision on that you really want my yogurt of it's good or not the best way to go about your garden state capitol hill franchises this over in your refrigerator after registering hearing ended and disclose more disclosure provision other business where you anywhere else and that's all public information the price of a yellow sun and your state is unworkable people for law known as the section in a call
state money is a reasonable made out there mr david rhodes information or why did you why'd you decide not to go through the publishing houses then to go to her on the phone the to ban on the road on the telephone terrible employee oil is now publishing houses maybe a small share a life that will put it looks in a bookstore it has a motto it's a father son relationship when you're a taliban operative of their mother or their father or whatever they tell you what's good for you what's bad you know and things like that and that relationship that was even larger than about twelve top ten so i guess what i found out is that the only people reason people buy my books because i was on tv or radio or some like that right now and the army at itself on exactly going on tv
that's maj exactly right that's right that's right that's what they do and i want to figure how to do this and i pretended i knew that i didn't i hired a kid for five dollars an hour who who needed a co op program for the summer nobody could find somewhere to work in marketing you know for the summer if you get twelve credits as i got a closet oh i do a tour in three cities and thats intended no leader scene he'd sit on the foia yeah i'm going to go show is outweighing ethical than twenty times and even knowing that we've figured out how to deal with the us and magic and whatever although i don't think there's a magic the magic amused by what the magic is well the magic is there is that they think that that's right and that a red flag a writer but through the magic asper our ideas and trying at somebody of isis and what we really want a country that young's of the government are trying to
throw money at every problem to solve right for sorcery problem money and here we are the individuals that we can do anything unless we throw money having less deal a thirteen years with eleven laws which is a terrifically open book they're i mean every single one of them is sort of a cliche that we all tell ourselves i don't remember middle of a boy i mean it's typical of the people that they love and that they're the hurdles like come up with and i really don't trust myself on the edge of what i found is that you become good at something you'll find a great answer politicians do it everybody wrong you know i may accrue just different places you know maybe not as fast as some other years but it wasn't really that there's stuff to go away now that we would have is that the outlet and that's it or or
there's no government program for the average people oppose your freedom to be green or three hundred people national agreement at their last year where the odds of getting anything the government has a zillion along the actual applications for like glances or grant money to have a payback for inventors there's twelve programs an agreement just for inventors what about the walk he probably could get what's called a small business innovator research going to work on that from the department health and human services and now on the record why didnt matter where i never met anyone individuals get more money for this isn't an individual's get more money from them in programs like so security medicare food stamps and businesses and the lead
all the money programs in the government would go to individuals who poem all up it averages out to like to almost three thousand dollars per grown up in our country you ever jump all the money in the garment goes to businesses it averages out to forty thousand dollars for their grid only the poor we're not there yet kelley blue borrowed one point two billion dollars like many brides epa to back up at the government prints more obstacles than they hinder your success and whatever but it's true the tax the uk and mischel was that if you go in on bureaucracy is unresponsive answers than anything going your experience
is a heavy duty to say they didn't get done that's right psy and the city recognize that someone is going to use every settling hours publishes paper i get seventy eight also people who did not get that by politicizing and my answer was always assigned i know just it not teaching people use the system all lebanon know i was a void for people and we have to learn how to do it the proper seasoning takes ever seen the thing in the gunman as you write you've got a hold of the year yom kippur and that switch around the third person you'd want to be the first person to talk about the fine line we can you get the person to help you most of the social upheaval
