1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,060
How do leaders lead into funding their vision?

2
00:00:03,060 --> 00:00:07,220
You did it completely different from some of those that are just taking that leap of

3
00:00:07,220 --> 00:00:12,700
faith with their 401k or some other funds or SBA loans.

4
00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:18,340
How do leaders lean into funding that if they don't have the options such as yourself?

5
00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:19,340
Yeah.

6
00:00:19,340 --> 00:00:21,540
I mean, there's not one right answer.

7
00:00:21,540 --> 00:00:22,900
There's lots of good answers.

8
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:26,300
It depends on your situation, also your risk tolerance.

9
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:31,820
So I work with founders and entrepreneurs or aspiring founders or entrepreneurs, and

10
00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:36,860
some of them just are able and willing to take on that gut load of risk.

11
00:00:36,860 --> 00:00:39,860
It's like a boom, like, okay, I'm all in, here we go.

12
00:00:39,860 --> 00:00:41,500
And that's definitely one way to do it.

13
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:42,740
That's not wrong.

14
00:00:42,740 --> 00:00:47,800
And there's other people who do my path and then lots of people in between.

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,540
So I would take a look and say, all right, what makes sense given my situation?

16
00:00:52,540 --> 00:00:53,540
And that's holistic, right?

17
00:00:53,540 --> 00:00:58,860
So financial situation, family situation, I have someone right now who is waiting for

18
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:03,700
the last of her kids to graduate from college.

19
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:05,860
And then that's the point where she does that.

20
00:01:05,860 --> 00:01:08,300
But all up into that point is preparation.

21
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:15,220
So financial, kind of the family home situation, knowing yourself and knowing your risk tolerance

22
00:01:15,220 --> 00:01:18,900
and what you're willing to take on there, all of those types of factors, the market,

23
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:23,780
the economy, all of those things should come into play and get to the right answer for

24
00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:24,780
you.

25
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:25,980
So it's not like, oh, you must do this.

26
00:01:25,980 --> 00:01:27,900
This is the right way to do it.

27
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:33,100
It is really taking a step back and saying, okay, what makes most sense for me right now?

28
00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:49,700
And let me have a think about that.
