Finding The Money
Last week I had the honor of auditing a five day intensive on Capital Raising. It was facilitated by a great friend and client. He’d created a program to systemize and document the traits and processes he uses to raise capital for his clients. I was given a chance to audit the program and offer some feedback.
During one of the sections we had a bit of dialogue about finding the money. He was explaining what he does and how and asked what I would do to raise capital. My response was something like, “The money will find me. I’ll make a couple of calls to let people know what I’m doing now, and the rest will take care of itself.”
He offered tons of pushback. He explained things didn’t work that way with raising capital. He continued to lay out the steps he took, what’s required, ways to make an approach to potential investors, and a litany of other things. He continued to explain the benefits of the program he’d created and how it would help with any endeavor requiring capital.
He asked me again and I responded in kind, “That may be the case for them, but the money I’ll require will find me. I’ll let people know what I’m doing and they’ll gladly help with my project.” I’m aware this wasn’t the answer he was looking for, but I’m also aware of how my Creator moves on my behalf. Before our session the following day, I received a call saying a couple of hedge funds were interested in my project and needed to know how much I needed.
I’m aware that I’ve already done the work and all I have to do is open my mouth and speak it into existence. Some may say I’m delusional. Others may say I’m insane. Some will see applied faith or conviction. What I can say about my behavior is that it’s based on previous experiences and I am convinced He will provide all I require and more.
Today, Tuesday, July 26, 2022, I am grateful that:
People are moving on behalf and for my benefit. It’s challenging for me to accept the help of others. I’m more comfortable helping than being helped, but it’s great to know others see me and my endeavors as worthy of the investment of their resources.
I’m able to be there for those within my sphere. Although physically separated by thousands of miles, I can communicate. I can convey empathy, sympathy, sincerity, and a desire to be of service to those needing comfort and camaraderie.
Freight and I had a conversation last night. He explained all he needed was provided. A virtual stranger, yet benefactor, moving to enhance the condition of myself and others that’ll benefit from my endeavors.
Have you documented what you’ll need? Skills, people, money, technology, and the like?
How much money and time will you require?
If you haven’t documented those things, write them down now.
Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
