Strategies for entrepreneurs and small business owners who are looking for ways to raise capital post-COVID.
Many businesses rebounding from the COVID-19 pandemic are in need of additional capital to bolster their balance sheets. Startups trying to get off the ground in the post-pandemic world need the same thing.
The good news for business owners and entrepreneurs is that money is available – but it’s not just sitting there waiting for them to come take it.
Michael Brette, J.D., founder, president and CEO of Small Cap Equity Advisors spoke with John about that there’s more than enough capital to assist almost every business but people miss out on it because they make a lot of mistakes or have a lot of misconceptions about raising capital. It does takes time and money, and people need to know how to do it legally.
Brette covers why a business plan isn’t enough, how to be strategic and why you have to be able to answer the investor’s “why” question.
“The question those investors want answered is: Why should I invest in your deal and why should I invest at this stage?” Brette says. “People will make these presentations and talk about their technology or other details, and put everybody to sleep. But they never answer the question of why should I pull out my checkbook and write you a check.”

“Our culture, the people around us, it’s very discouraging. And if we have ambitions and dreams and things of that nature, it’s easy to get beat down and told that you can’t do something. And so I often want to provide encouragement of people because we can do more than we think we can. And even if we don’t attain, our highest dreams will attain more than if we succumb and quit and just let the culture and people beat us now and to mediocrity.” ~ Richard Battle

Pain, something especially as we get older, there just seems to be more of it to deal with. With everybody being different, pain can affect people in different manners. Also, certain individuals have a higher pain tolerance than others and are just willing to put up with more pain. But we need to ask the question, “Is that always a good thing?”
Addressing pain as soon as possible can prevent you from having more difficulties later in life. and it’s probably causing more problems than you may realize at the time. To deal with pain effectively, in most cases, it’s not just the stretching or portion of it, but it’s really the strengthening of the opposite side of the muscle that can be just as beneficial as stretching.
