Being a scrappy entrepreneur is all about making the most of what you have. But when it comes to funding your business, it's easy to feel like you've hitting a brick wall. Financial realities can make your dream of starting a business seem unlikely, or worse: completely impossible. Have hope, heromaker! If you're bootstrapping your startup, you just need to know the right steps to launch without breaking the bank. 

 

In this episode of our Getting Unstuck series, hosts J.J. Peterson and April Sunshine Hawkins respond to a question from listener Alonzo of Hourglass Productions. As a first-time LLC owner, he’s feeling stuck because he doesn't know how to fund his business. J.J. and April walk him through the steps he needs to take to get his business off the ground, including clarifying his message, creating an elevator pitch, building a website, and attracting investors. Tune in and learn how to fund your business without losing your shirt!
