I’ve thought about raising funds on multiple occasions. Having money to purchase inventory, develop social media content, and to travel around to do demonstrations would be AWESOME!!!
I’ve been working on this business on and off for several years now and have made it through the prototype stage thanks to the CNC Router in my garage. I've developed a full line of products and have had about $6K worth of sales in the past. I guess what I’m saying is I don’t need money for development or prototyping, that has been completed already and I am in full production mode now.
Thanks to Audible (I’ve consumed about 20 books so far this year) I’ve found a bit of a clue when it comes to positioning my products. I’ve figured out my hook, story, and offer but I could use help putting all of the social media aspects together and actually creating landing pages, sales funnels, and advertisements. While I’m getting better at creating videos and social media content I’d still like to be able to pay somebody to do a more professional and thorough job than what I can do.
Unfortunately I'm a solo-preneur which makes it difficult to raise funds. One of the things most investors look for a company to invest in is "team". There is not team in I. I also recently quit a dead end job that was killing me so I no longer have any cash flow to speak of either. Without a job any type of loan is out of the question. So while I would love to find an Angel or even a business partner I don’t think it will happen. If it is to be then it is up to me.
Pretty sure lack of funds is what kills more dreams than anything else… and right now mine is teetering on life support! :O
