. >> so when you think about fundraising, i got a very good advice from a friend of mine named beth ferrarad me fundraising isn't about money, but it is about power. and that is the case. when you raise money you have a new partner, you have in essence a boss and so you think about how that will change the way you run your business and understand whether you are getting value for the money that you bring in that goes beyond just the dollars but also in terms of expertise and support. so what i would encourage to you do is talk to investors and figure out what they could bring to the table and then sit down and have a hard conversation about what they expect from you in terms of when they will get out and sell their shares and what you will do together as partners. and if you could find somebody who shares your vision, then definitely consider taking money from them. >>> we have the top two tips you need to know to help you grow your business. let's introduce our panel. phil pound is motivational speaker and best-selling author and from the podcast, invested, the rule number one podcast and
