This edition of my newsletter I'm executing in pictures so that I can really paint the picture , instead of just text.

My readers know that I like to shake things up from time2time, right?


PS I'd love to hear your feedback on if this format resonates with you lovely little people inside my phone šŸ˜€ (you can be honest, I promise I won't throw anything at you if it's negative feedback...🤣)


If it helps, maybe you can pretend this is a comic with super-hero's in it (like we did back in the 70's as kids).

You are only 30? Ah, ok, you can just hum your fave rave tune as you read😃


So obviously this is an EXAMPLE....


Ok, so here goes...


How's that comic or rave tune working out?





Still here? Just taking a pulse to be sure you are still awake....



Anyone want some pizza?? You gotta pay for it tho because this founder has taken all of my money 🤣




Obviously this doesn't apply to all founders, but often we see versions of this.


VC's are not banks (I know a lot of founders think VC's have millions just sitting in the back ready to send your way...nope it doesn't work like that)


You must invest in yourself before expecting others to. Simples. Show the investor that you have arrived at their door fully armed to execute!!!


Don't show up with an idea and your hands out. It does not work!


Oh, Maybe you would prefer to watch it to give the visual a musical presence behind it on TICTOC instead?Ā CLICK HERE TO WATCH ON TICTOC
