If you are the Founder/Owner of a company, you should frame a situation where you work alongside an experienced leader like me as "buying insurance". And although we don't all carry the right insurance policies, we should.
Keeping it real for a minute, if you can answer "YES" to any of the following three (3) statements, then you should consider tapping into my IP to elevate your personal and business growth trajectory.
»» 1.I am a first-time founder in the post MVP, early product-market fit stage
»» 2.I am a first-time founder, and the business is generating US$1M+ in ARR but I want to prepare and execute a strategy to raise capital as I want to boost revenue to US$5M-US$10M ARR
»» 3.I am a second time founder, but this current startup is in a new business area
Have you checked your Business's vital signs lately?
A giant bamboo plant can take months before you see any signs. For 60-120 days, it's developing a deep and strong root system. Only after that has happened, do the first shoots appear. It can take 3-5 years for the whole bamboo cluster to grow big and strong. At its peak growth cycle, it can grow 40cm a day (15 inches). It can easily reach 30 meters (100 feet) tall. That's as tall as a 10-story building.
There are some real-world lessons to take from that.
You can't build a 100-story building without investing in a strong foundation.
You can't win a marathon without investing in years of training.
And you can't 10X your business unless the fundamentals are already established and sound.
Whilst saying to yourself "I've got this" might give you mental comfort, getting a second opinion will blow away any lingering doubt, conscious or unconscious.
I started life with nothing. I'm a high school dropout who helped my parents pay bills to keep my Dad out of jail.
I've always had a strong work ethic and believed in myself. I created my first business on the farm at age 13.
Despite a challenging start to life, after a miserable time spent in retail banking in Australia, I was sent to Vietnam in 1990, where I became the youngest Five Star General Manager in the International Hotel Management Company I worked for.
Then I turned my back on US$10K net a month in 1993 to start my first "real" business.
I was a multi-millionaire at 35 and broke at 37, wealthy again at 43 then technically "died" when my heart flatlined 4 times in 6 hours in 2003.
I've overcome health issues, been blackmailed (multiple times), had large amounts of money stolen by staff, suffered financial ruin from competitor maleficence, oh, and even had my life threatened with the barrel of a gun.
I consider that the price of entry and I'm grateful for those experiences. They made me who I am today.
I've had the "priceless" opportunity to live and build businesses in countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, The Philippines, Singapore, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the USA, for which I'm also grateful.
My life has been a rollercoaster ride. A 35-year track record of starting, growing and exiting businesses, that saw me invest US$10M in 75 Startups and benefit from 2 Unicorn Exits…
And although success comes in different forms, we all know that we believe facts over fluff.
Here's my Score Card. My accumulated IP taught me a thing or two about what makes a successful business…
How you Benefit: 1. I've distilled down 35 years of experience as an entrepreneur. In that time, I've started, scaled to 8 figures in sales, and sold seven (7) global businesses and invested in 75 startups and secured funding rounds for ca. 30% of them 2. Either the health check will independently validate that your business is in good health - in which case you can sleep better at night and know that you are in good shape to approach investors if you need to raise external capital 3. Or the health check reveals issues that need addressing in order to protect your company from potential failure, and you get the chance to take corrective measures
