What if your next big breakthrough starts with a hard fall? Last week, I dislocated my shoulder getting outside of my comfort zone while skiiing. ?? ?? It hurt. It set me back. And it gave me everything I needed to level up. Because here's the truth: Setbacks are fuel. They test your resolve. They sharpen your vision. They teach you more than success ever could. ?? I’ve learned this in business too. Over the past 10 years, I’ve gotten better at turning pain into progress — and that’s what leads to a breakout. ?? Check out my latest article: “The Fall Before the Breakout: Setbacks Are Fuel” ?? + ?? included (yes, even the urgent care moment) ?? What’s your version of a dislocated shoulder? Let me know — I’d love to hear how you’ve turned a fall into fuel.

The Power of Capital Strategy "One of the most substantial strategies for you to build personal net worth is to use external capital to build value in your business." – Breakout Valuation Capital isn’t just about funding growth—it’s about choosing the right type of capital that aligns with your business’s long-term goals. The wrong investors can limit flexibility. The right balance of capital sources unlocks sustainable growth. Join us for our March Economic Developer Roundtable, where we’ll discuss proper capitalization and avoiding capital misalignment. Learn how economic developers can help businesses structure capital the right way.

Great event, and happy to support Patrick E. Donohue and Lois Josefson and the incredible work she and her team are doing for Minnesota entrepreneurs!

Why Ambassadors Matter for Entrepreneurs Building a business takes more than funding—it takes the right people. That’s where our Ambassadors come in. These experienced leaders provide: ? Mentorship – Guiding entrepreneurs through challenges and opportunities. ? Connections – Opening doors to customers, partners, and investors. ? Strategic Insights – Helping founders make smart decisions for long-term success. For entrepreneurs, this support can be a game-changer—turning challenges into growth. We've purposely used the title ambassador, because of its meaning: a person who represents and promotes a particular organization, group of people, activity, or brand. To our Ambassadors: thank you for making a lasting impact. To entrepreneurs: we’re here to help you grow.

Did you know February is?Financial Incentives Awareness Month?? Shoutout to our friends at?The Brookshire Company?and?Cory Hepola?for putting the spotlight on this critical topic! One of the biggest questions businesses and communities face is:?"Where do I begin?"?When it comes to financial incentives,?you don’t get what you don’t ask for.?These incentives are designed to help companies invest, create jobs, and grow—but only if you know how to access them. As Justin Erickson, VP at The Brookshire Company, puts it: "Financial incentives are there to be used—not abused—but you have to know to go ask for them."
