1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,500
Why do you think leaders hide from funding their vision?

2
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:11,480
Why do you think they hide from funding their vision? Do you mean raising capital for it or from in what in what way?

3
00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:18,800
It could be either or could be time commitment resources etc or or raising capital whatever you would like to share

4
00:00:19,460 --> 00:00:24,080
Yeah, so let's start with the time commitment first because raising capital. That's a whole other a whole other gig

5
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:27,980
Look I think people

6
00:00:27,980 --> 00:00:32,920
The easiest way to put this I would suspect that a lot of people in the early days of a business

7
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,920
You've all the energy and motivation in the world

8
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,760
But sadly what happens as we all know and I've gone through this myself is you reach a point

9
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,080
Where you become that burnout starts to set in and you go

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,880
I'm a bit jaded now and putting more time in is just not possible because you're so burned out

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,080
You're tired. Even if you love the business, you're still tired from it

12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:59,680
And I think so that's number one. I think the energy sort of wanes and people just become comfortable with with where it's at

13
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:08,840
The second problem is that people are at the bottom of a mountain looking up and going if I need to systemize this business

14
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,160
Even if they know what that actually means

15
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,200
It's quite a lot of work and it's like an enormous project that needs to be broken down into bite-sized pieces

16
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,240
So that's number two. And

17
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,240
And number three, I think by the time it gets to all of those points

18
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:30,800
It's really far down the chain and in order to even start delegating and fixing all these things becomes overwhelming

19
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,240
I think that that people just tend to tend to stay at that

20
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:40,720
Plateau and they think well, I'll just stay here. So that's number one raising capital. I think is

21
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,280
a complex one because

22
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,840
Everyone sort of feels like that's the holy grail

23
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:52,240
But it's not necessarily that brings with it a whole other set of challenges now some businesses can't be bootstrapped

24
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,120
You know like a lot of

25
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:56,560
product

26
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,360
style businesses are meaning if you're building sas tools and things like that, they're hard to

27
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,320
Bootstrap, although I do know quite a few founders that have and they've bootstrapped them to tens of millions. So it's very possible

28
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,840
But it's you need to be super savvy to do that

29
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,440
Service businesses and other styles of you know product businesses you can bootstrap them

30
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,280
But you'll only get them so far like you might make seven figures maybe in revenue

31
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,960
But at that point if you don't operationalize and systemize and get scalable

32
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,200
Doing the things that i'm talking about you won't scale that business. You won't be able to

33
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:41,920
That's where and then you'll stop your plateau there
