Questions

I have tried to get help for years and only get advice or "good luck to you". With minimal help I know I could expand to be a major employer in my rural area. Seems there's lots of talk about helping small business but no real effort or action to ACTUALLY do something!

I think there are multiple issues going on and I would honestly love to work with you on this as it looks like an actual challenge for me. I'm a business consultant and really do only like working with real hurdles that challenge me.

One thing that stands out is your branding - or lack of.
You can hire some really good talented people to get you a nice professional website relatively cheap. I can refer you one if you are interested.

Second your products are not being featured either on google or your own website. For such products like these you really do need to have pictures. Also, PR {public relations} needs to be taken into consideration because your website mentions certain things I would never admit to myself on a business profile.

Third and most importantly, there is a lot of help out there the issue always remains though - your initial approach and introduction of your service, your books, potential market and also the people you are going to. If you go to Bank of America for their small business loan program (just saying, not sure if they do have one) you will most likely not get one. Programs like these often seek individuals who are worth a lot and have large assets to use as collateral instead of financing the business. You have to approach investors, crowdfunding, SBA, not banks.

Lastly, another thing I would consider is asking your vendors for better lines of credit allowing you to get the inventory you need and sell them prior to having to repay them.
