We've all heard this since childhood. If something seems "too good to be true Black Josh Oliver Jersey ," it probably isn't true.
Certainly some "poor multi-millionaire" from Nigeria picking your name out of a hat as a person he can trust with his fortune (a common Internet email scam) has to be viewed with a bit of healthy skepticsm. That and a thousand other scams prove the rule. Greed and ignorance are two things on which virtually all scam artists depend.
Exceptions
Are there any exceptions. Of course. Let's look at some you may have already experienced.
Have you ever met anyone "incredible" in your life? Someone whose mere presence, advice, gifts or experience benefitted you enormously?
Have you ever been "at the right place at the right time?" Have you ever felt incredibly lucky? Have you ever had a "bright idea" hit you "from out of left field"? An idea which altered your life, the way you do things?
All those things are "against the odds" and might be considered "too good to be true." But, regardless of how good they seemed then or in retrospect Black Jawaan Taylor Jersey , they were true.
The Benefits of Mistakes
Now, I'm human and I make mistakes. Hopefully not the same one too many times. It's par for the course and if one treats errors as "learning experiences," one can benefit. However, there are some who keep making the same mistake over and over. It reminds me of one of my favorite definitions: "Insanity - doing the same thing over and over and somehow expecting a different result".
Think about that. If you, or someone you know Black Josh Allen Jersey , has been approaching the subject of Equity Investors in the same way, over and over, perhaps there's a perception problem to be considered. We had one recently who'd been going through the "Investor Mill" for over five years, with zero results. He actually represented a group with an excellent project, fantastic potential and very likely would have gotten all the funding he thought he needed Black Nick Foles Jersey , and then some. But he (or one of his 'trusted advisors whispering in his ear') couldn't cope with the "new concept" and wouldn't even risk the airfare to meet with the trust if he did manage to get an invitation!
That's not an Entrepreneur. That's someone unwilling or incapable of doing whatever is necessary to get funded. And we're betting that in five years, they'll still be in the same position, no further along in their funding pursuits and the market (and their competitors) passing them by.
Examining Fixed Ideas
Looking at the Equity Investment possibilities available through Capital Funds Group, some few people have simply rejected the idea out of hand. Let's break this down.
First, I suggest you ask yourself: what about it seems "too good to be true?"
The statement of fact in question is that:
A Family Trust with practically unlimited resources is willing to consider investing serious sums of money as Equity Investors in young and innovative technologies. You may be one in which they'd be willing to invest.
What part of that seems "unreal?" What part of that simply "can't be believed?"
We know from knowledge of the Rockefellers A. J. Cann Jersey , Fords, Carnegie's, Mellons, Bill Gates, etc. Dante Fowler Jr Jersey , that Family Trusts do exist with seemingly unlimited resources and, aside from charitable donations, they also have branches of their Private Family Trusts which do investing. They have to or the Trusts would soon simply expend their wealth and there could not be any further charitable donations. That would be a very poor stewardship of monies.
In the past, they've used very old and established conservative firms, filled with lawyers and accountants who invested only in Blue Chip Stocks and old established companies which could be purchased outright Dede Westbrook Jersey , expanding their empires.
Changing Times
Times have changed. That strategy simply will not work any longer.
Suppose one of those Family Trusts could have become the exclusive equity partner with a couple of guys in the "garage stage" (literally) of their business? Let's say their names were Jobs and Wozniak and the catchy new name for their fledgling company was Apple Computer. Wouldn't that investment in innovation and vision have outperformed the Stock Market? In this specific case, ANY market? Certainly.
This particular Trust with whom we deal has such vision. They specifically look for companies with a solid idea, the dream to make it happen and that same amazing entreprenurial spirit. Have a great idea? That's not enough. Great ideas, as they say, are "a dime a dozen."
You don't have to look far or hard for good ideas. But you do have to look hard to find a Jobs Dawuane Smoot Jersey , Gates, Wozniak, Hewlett or Packard, using the computer industry for our examples.
Losing Control
If you're really familiar with Equity Capital investing, you'll know that the visionary Cam Robinson Jersey , inventor or entrepreneur is vulnerable and often will be put in a position of losing his rights, control, profits andor company. The "sharks" want control of their investment. If you believe that this is the only way investing works you'd be right 95% of the time. We're dealing now with the other 5%.
Self Worth
If you don't think your own business or idea is worthy of funding, then no one will ever convince you otherwise. That's sad, but true. If there's some "little voice" inside you saying "why would anybody invest millions in me?" then you're just not ready and not really an entrepreneur. Do you really expect people to invest in you? Would you invest in yourself? Have you? All of our successful applicants thus far know they're a great risk
Why would this Trust invest in you when most won't?
For the most understandable of reasons: TO MAKE MONEY.
