business, please complete these three simple tasks. If you have done these tasks before, that’s okay, do them again now. A. Visualize Yourself In Business This is just short mental exercise, but a very serious one. Please visualize your business down to the finest detail. Visualize yourself in a day-in-the-life of your business with all the details. B. Set Three Goals Set at least three clear goals with exact dates to achieve them. These need to be goals, not needs and they need to go beyond your immediate grasp. C. Picture The Goals By that, I mean literally picture those goal with actual photographs. Write them down and find a picture that represent the goal. As an example, if one of your goals is to own a new Mercedes-Benz, then find the latest model of
that car, and get a picture with you sitting in it. Write the date that you will attain the car on the photo and put it in a place where you must see it every day.
With those foundational steps accomplished, here are three no-credit fundraising methods. 1. Crowdfunding Crowdfunding is simple and fast way to raise money, not only for a business but for numerous issues, causes or ventures. Essentially, crowdfunding is exactly what it sounds like; you get funding from the crowd. You post your business idea on a crowdsourcing platform, and invite thousands of people either invest or simply donate the money. And, yes—it works. The differ slightly on their methodology, but they are basically the same. A few to check out are www. kickstarter.com, www.indiegogo.com and www.gofundme.com.
