Apparently, your business proposal does not go into sufficient detail about what start-up costs are, where the money for start-up is coming from, what operating costs are going to be, and where the money is coming from.You are not presenting a financial team of management that is going to make the business succeed (because with your lousy credit and lack of money, I am not going to trust you to do it).That's just a start of why I wouldn't give you any money.

If you want to sit and blame your lack of success on your area or gurus or Katrina, you'll never get anywhere.
