You think capital is your problem. Ask again what you’d do to get your venture to the next stage before you raise. Capital always finds it’s way to market ready companies. It’s 80% of raising. Great founders always get funded. Don’t believe me?

Nearly every challenge you’re ever gonna have is going to be you against you

I’m rooting for you all to be wealthy. In time. In money. In freedom. And most importantly: in relationship to yourself and others.

Freedom may not be free, but its most certainly worth the chase.

You can't fix what you are not willing to face.

People can only tell you what’s possible for them. You will need to see beyond, for them, and for yourself.

Founders, many of you consider yourself outliers, and special snowflakes But what have you done and what are you doing to be 100% certain that you are?

Remember how you talk to clients and customers. They are the hero when you’re doing it right. When having capital conversations with investors; remember they are also your customer. What they want and inspires them matters just like it does with clients.

Pressure is a privilege - Billie Jean King Stress is our internal response, & possibly an optional one. Pressure is external force on us. Also responsible for creating the diamonds in our lives. Pressure creates purpose and prosperity. Let your perspective shift outcomes

Before you get caught in comparison, remember that there is an unlimited supply of prosperity, human ingenuity, innovation and opportunity. Be cheering on the trailblazers Your brother or sister, reaching their dreams, only increases the likelihood that you will do the same

Gratitude moves the galactical gears of possibility and prosperity.

Haters. Naysayers. Bring it on. You don’t have to understand because I do. I was born in the heat. Let’s see who persists. Who can outlast. I’m made for distance. Hope you brought lots of water 🔥🔥🔥

Life happens for us. But most believe it happens to us and they act accordingly. Check your lens, and make sure it's leading you where you wish to be and who you wish to be.

Can’t find customers? Pitched 3 investors and haven’t raised yet? Building a team but have only spoken to 2? Whether it’s client, dollar or talent capital… Or most things with startups. You need more volume. Far more volume than you think. Think 100X. Get out there!!

Startup life: We ride at dawn. Except for when we ride at dusk. Then we ride then, too.

Stories can hold us as prisoner or enroll and inspire our collaborators and set us free Which are you choosing?

Timing matters: Early is the same thing as being wrong.

Founders look for the magic pill: Here it is… VOLUME. Nothing beats experience. Most founders have tiny volume. Of clients convos. Investors pitches. Recruiting conversations. How long it takes to build this experience is up to you and the volume you’ll commit to

Demand a version of yourself by setting new standards and goals so high you must become a completely different YOU.

Just. Get. Moving. Momentum beats motivation Build that inertia. You’re a freight train 🚂

Your life is determined by the amount of discomfort you’re willing to sustain. As well as the amount of uncomfortable conversations you’re willing to have. Remember this when you go get client feedback before you build. And before you raise.
