E655 - MM - You’re Killing Your Capital Raise If You’re Doing This

Have you ever heard the saying: “deals get done on the golf course?” Well, no one is bringing their Excel models or doing business strategy in between strokes. The significance of this phrase is that deals get done because of the emotional connections sponsors build with their investors. However, it's not as simple as a few conversations, dinners, or golf outings… Today, I discuss how to build the connections that will make every raise you do a success! <<>> The most common mistake by new capital raisers stems from an insecurity that we’ve all had… Before you develop a track record, you want to be seen as an expert, so you might spend your time with a potential investor talking about the details of your deal and all its merits.  However, this is a huge mistake… Frankly, every deal more-or-less promises similar financial outcomes.  However, this is not why people invest… People invest because they believe YOU are the correct person to protect and grow their wealth. If you can learn how to make yourself and your brand the motivator for new investors, your business will be able to raise capital in any market conditions!

Entrepreneurs are known for their hustle and commitment to “the grind”. Due to the tremendous amount of work on their plate, they tend to work all the time and never really stop. Many people exchanged working 40 hours a week at a reliable job to working 70 hours per week on their own business. Not only are the prolonged hours an issue, but the stresses of owning a business can take a toll on many people. Why are so many people living in what our guest calls “entrepreneurial poverty”? Is there a way to escape it? Our guest for today is Mike Michalowicz who is the author of Profit First, Surge, The Pumpkin Plan, and Clockwork. By his 35th birthday, Mike had founded and sold two companies, one to private equity and another to a Fortune 500 firm.

If you are reading this right now and you are struggling to make money, it's probably because you're breaking the number one rule of marketing and sales.  You’re probably WAY too focused on YOURSELF.  You're focused on your financial situation.  You're focused on YOUR bank account.  You're focused on your wants and needs, rather than your clients.  But as soon as you start focusing on how to solve other people's problems, how to make other people rich, how to get other people, your clients to the next level and their business, their product, their service, whatever, that's when the money will start to come in.  <<>> Your true success will come from enriching the lives of others.

It took me a long time to realize this, but now the proof is in the pudding.  Tune in to today's episode as I talk about how you can take what we've done at RaiseMasters and reverse engineer it, as well as some of our crazy success stories that we've had along the way.

E467 - MM - This One Metric Secretly Determines Everything

In 2021, had a conversation with a heavy-hitting investor, and he said this… I’m underwriting all of my deals at 60% LTV.  This was very conservative for the times, so I asked how many deals he was getting done. The answer was not many.  Although every deal we do ought to be at an appropriate risk level, here’s how to determine it… <<>> The name of the game in real estate is balancing the right returns with the right risk.  However, if you take on very low risk, your returns will also be low and it’ll be hard to raise capital from sophisticated investors.  The key is to align your approach to the expectations of your investors within a certain market condition.  Tune in to today’s episode to hear how I approach this!
