CAPITAL TO RUN BUSINESS
Transcript
you shouldn't always start out things with money. That's the wrong way to think about business. That's why most of you are stuck. You're thinking how can I get the next money to push my product? You will keep being limited there because nobody wants to give money to someone that doesn't have. If your parents did not leave some amount of money for you to start a business, you need to understand this thing oh, leverage. Don't joke with this leverage as a business owner. This is what to get you to that top, to that place you're looking. What is leverage? Leverage is basically using something to achieve something bigger. If as a business owner, you don't have money to start business, or you can try out either of these three, the No. 1 leverage is capital, money. Money to achieve anything. No. 1 if you have capital, you are good. Now if these, these are three other ways in which you can start or achieve something bigger than you. Capital is having an upstart money to do something. So not everybody, this is why I tell most founders that, there, there are three other ways to, you shouldn't be chasing funding all the time. There are other ways to make money for your business or to, or to raise money for your business, or to get customers for your business ultimately. This is the most powerful leverage. If you don't have money, you're not good at coding, you don't have this one. See this thing is what it's called what content. Nothing. Nothing beats content. Nothing be as long as you are visible, opportunities will come. Let me be honest with you guys. When I started my business, before I started creating content for you people, I was making sales, getting people, but it was when I started creating there. There are a lot of people that have reached out to me from the UK, from Gambia, from from from the US, from different parts of the world. From just this guy. I didn't have capital. I was not, I was not good at code. I have people that can do this code. But and I know how to do well is content. See all of you are saying you are saying, ah, content camera in my face. You never ready. Like you are not just ready. Content being out there, creating content and pushing stuff out there. Code. Yes. Coding, technical. So code can also translate to a technical coding basically means that you are very, very good at creating good software. Now, this might not seem like leverage to most of you, but trust me, this is leverage to somebody that if you know what you can build an excellent product that people can and when you are coding, products that actually solve a pain and real problem in the life of a person. Don't code the product that feels good. Finally, what's collaboration? Most of you, you can't, you don't have capital, you're not good at coding, you're not that good, you're being honest. The best thing you can do is collaborate. Collaborating with people that have these three things is one of the biggest leverage. You can also leverage as someone. If you are someone, you don't know, you're not, you're not good at become good at collaboration. Become good at partnerships. Very, very important. Collaborate with people to produce something. Collaborate with someone to deliver something. Do you understand? So these are the four C's of leverage. Let me know which and if you use four of them.
