Do you know what mistake some entrepreneurs make? They rush to invest their personal money in a promising project.

You might ask: “Hmm, isn’t that the essence of entrepreneurship?”

No, they shouldn’t do that. But not because they’re stingy with money. Many can provide money. But the creator’s impulse? Few indeed.

The founder turns vague ideas into tangible value. The value of a business is reflected in its high price. Financial or strategic investors willingly pay for it. If the business is good.

The rest can only perform the reverse trick — turn tangible value into fleeting ideas. Just give them a budget. Such magicians are all over LinkedIn.

A wise investor understands this well. So, they confidently offer to a true entrepreneur, “I don’t need your money. Just create value XXX. I’ll generously share it with you.”

Sincerely yours,
