Unicorn Founders network – Yes, even the introverts! ?? Here’s how they find paths to $$$: Investor Updates! ?? Any potential investor should be on your general business update list. Why? It’s like warming up leads. Most investors won’t invest after the first meeting. They want to get to know you, and the easiest way to do this is by sending "regular" business updates. What to Include? ? Sales Progress: Share how your sales are going. ? Milestones: Celebrate achievements like getting into an accelerator or closing a strategic partnership. ? Event Participation: Let them know which events you’re attending and presenting at. ? Growth Insights: Provide any information that shows how your business is growing. Remember, investor updates aren’t just for current investors – don’t forget those who might become investors later on in your journey. Are you sending out investor updates? What do you share? How do you foster relationships? My tip for networking: wear something that stands out ??

?? So I attended Lamar Tyler's Business Acquisition event in Atlanta last year and heard Ace Chapman speak. It’s interesting because here’s Ace coming in saying, “Hey, you need to buy businesses, scale, and do all these things. Starting from scratch makes no sense.” ?? He keeps on asking me what is my exit strategy; I tell them I am thinking. And I keep on joking with him and his team that I need to focus on archery. So, if someone wants their business sold or to learn more about buying businesses, he’s definitely the one to talk to. I signed up for his program because I am curious about how investors think about deal flow and crafting deals. Very little time to do any of it, but I like to learn. ?? On the other hand, Lamar is like, “Yeah, you need to get traffic to your business and sell—go after it. What you believe in matters, and the world needs to know your service exists.” Both resonate, and there is a time for both schools of knowledge. Currently, I really care about the joy people feel when they hit the target, aka their goals. Archery is how my team and I help people not be aimless and to find direction and purpose. So, I am in the MasterMind for that. I have tons of new ideas and activities to support Team Development, so hit me up. We travel! So, we can come to you. And, as you all know, I’m all about community. I love connecting virtually, but it’s when you see people in person that you feel the energy and the vibes. Here’s a picture of Ace and the guys on his team, Jay and Andrew. #BusinessAcquisition #Community #Transformation #Growth #TSPGamePlan2025
