What could we do if we were successful
Most of my writing is better with the audio, so I try to talk for 3 minutes max. Thanks for listening.
There are so many things that should be in this world, but they lack initial funding to get off the ground. And I've learned firsthand — and I'm not the only person who has — that when you're trying to do something like go out on your own and create something that you've always wanted to create, financial limitations make it extremely difficult. And so a lot of times people run into situations where they can't leave their job because they need the financial stability. But they then have to put so much extra time into something that they're not very passionate to do.
When you have something like what we're making with Help Other People Win, we can literally do that through financial resources, because — let's say we grow this thing to 1000 subscribers, okay? So you have 500 more than we were initially looking for, and 500 times 20 is roughly $10,000 a month, where we would be able to provide four $2,500 scholarships to people who need some extra cash to buy capital for something that they want to, or for people to travel to the thing where they're going to meet with a person that will ultimately make them successful.
There's been a lot of those stories that I've heard over the last decade where “I went to so and so's office; I went to the place where so and so works, and that gave me a chance to ask them a question that I've always wanted to ask or be available to work for them for a month,” right? If you had $2,500 that would get you 10 hotel nights, somewhere where you could spend a week plus with somebody or you could get a $500 airline ticket and what — 10 nights worth of hotel rooms. Is that right? 200 times 10 is 2200 times. See my math sucks, but that can be hugely impactful, right?
Because even one of my projects - GMS - I know that if we were wanting to do a growth campaign, if we were to go to something, we would have a lot of success with that because as the person who started that thing, primarily with my brother in law, I've always been very successful in person. So that would be a game changer for that if we're trying to solve a growth problem.
