Sid’s mantra is mind first, body second. He says you shouldn’t spend January in the gym or on a diet. You should start the new year off by getting clear on your goals, thinking about your plan of action, and preparing your brain for change.

Many startups and business owners are in dire need of capital to pay employees and grow their organizations. So, where can these smaller companies turn when they need a large sum of money to continue operating?  

That’s where SBA funding comes into play. When small businesses need a large amount of capital, it can be nearly impossible to scrounge up the money on your own — that’s why many have sought out SBA loans. But what is an SBA loan, and how can you secure one? Joshua Kim is here to debunk the myths. Receiving an SBA loan comes down to getting organized, long-term financial planning, and getting specific on what you will do with the money. 

In this episode of the Multiply You Podcast, Austin Clark is joined by Joshua Kim, the Founder of 7a Accelerator, to share everything you need to know about SBA funding. Joshua discusses the steps to prepare for loan applications, the actions that can help (and hinder) receiving a loan, and how 7a Accelerator guides business owners through the whole process.
