?FUNDING HAPPENINGS
Funding does not happen in a straight line.
?Although it would seem that funding is logical in that an investor places their money into an opportunity with an expectation of making money, the opportunity that is the subject of the investment may be anything except logical. It may represent visions and hopes that may never be realized or which will require serious compromise in order to attain any part of the original goals.
?FUNDING POINT – MORE THAN ONE PERSON
?Entrepreneurs are recognized in the media for their solo accomplishments. Such stories are either lies or anomalies. A single person represents a combination of talents based on their experience and skills. A single person has a network of contacts. A single person has a limit of funding. Therefore, a single person has a limited range and scope of capability.
Few opportunities can be achieved by a single person because of these limitations.
More opportunities can be achieved by building a team. Even more with a strong board of directors or managers. And yet more can be achieved with a comprehensive board of advisors. Ultimately, the most can be achieved with a community who is working toward a common cause.
Some opportunities cannot be realized with anything less than a large support group or community.
Every strategy toward raising funding has as its foundation the development of as many relationships as possible that will support the goals of the individual or organization seeking funding.
The basis for the relationship is a common outcome. Without this commonality, there is no reason for anyone to provide support.
Good fundraising practices seek out and define these outcomes so that the pitch will include a clear statement that the outcome will be achieved.

DON COHEN SHOW
THIS MORNING, I was a guest on Don Cohen’s show where we talked about ‘cooperation’. We were digging into the need for cooperation when seeking to do anything more than the capabilities of a single person. Cooperation is a matter of give and receive (not take) where each participant is working towards a common goal. We experienced an Internet disconnect, and our show was brief.
