Episode notes
Use Mind Mapping to Start
- Build a mind map around your business idea including product, branding, distribution, and marketing.
- Identify brand alignment with distribution channels and list potential influencers and sales targets early.
Ask Help, Not Money
- When raising money, ask for help instead of just money to attract valuable support.
- Avoid giving away large equity too early, especially to investors who offer little help.
Protect Equity and Control
- Never give more than 25% equity to one investor without dilution clauses and control safeguards.
- Use shareholder agreements to retain control and prevent investors from blocking business decisions.
