Getting Capital for your business and web video
Below are some personal thoughts and ideas that I am pursuing about getting capital for business and selling out to investors… if you are not interested in reading my thoughts on the subject and just want to skip to a site where you can get solid info on business capitalization from an expert use the link below:

For everyone else read on:
I started my web business in 2002 with a plan.
By 2004 that plan had become reality as I left a profitable offline career to manage what had become a profitable online company and product line that I had built.
In 2004 I set my sights higher… my ultimate goal was to create a business that would attract investors or someone who would want to aquire (buy out) my business or one of my innovations or webites.
One of the things I realized is that in order for me to achieve this goal I had to have a vehicle (an asset that would attract that kind of attention). I would have to develop a product or service
that could generate serious equity.
I spent two years developing that vehicle based on a hunch and over a period of two years I watched that hunch’s potential grow.
One of the most important aspects of my planning was making my business scalable, excitable, and licensable.
I must admit I think I did a pretty good job in my strategic planning but there are some things about creating a business that would attract investors that I do not know. There are some things
that only those with experience know.
Why am I telling you this?
Because most online business owners dream of the “what if I was the next hotmail, myspace, youtube, etc.
I don’t plan on working my internet business until the day I die. Right now I enjoy it… but I have small children and I want to spend more time with them. I want to spend more time with my
wife… I want to spend more time enjoying the things that really matter.
The reality is that unless I do things right now. Unless I set my business up in the right way. Unless I develop my business with the right goals in mind I may not be able to build something that is attractive to investors.
So how will I learn thos things?
Joel Block.
Joel Block has a client list that includes companies like:
– AT&T
– Entrepreneur Magazine
– Amgen
– Los Angeles Times
– Circuit City
– Wall Street Journal
– General Telephone & Electric
– Hilton Hotel Corporation
– J.D. Power & Associates
– Prudential Securities
Joel is an internationally acclaimed speaker and business strategist.
And Joel and I spoke on the phone a couple days ago. We talked about his expertise, what he teaches, and we also talked a little bit about my business model…
Then Joel said something shocking to me… he said how impressed he was with http://www.totalwebvideo.com and he said that was the kind of idea that investors can get really excited about.
This was shocking to me because I realized that a winning idea can be something simple. On my website you will see links to several companies who have built full time successful businesses off just that one effect.
What Joel said was a paradigm shift for me as well because I put so much focus on developing assets and technology that involved so much more than just a simple but profound web video effect but rarely stopped to think that simple ideas have so much potential when it comes to developing solid internet business models.
There is this entire movement online that is based on filling people full of hype and false hopes and selling them business models with no real equity and long term potential…
So how do people with simple ideas attract the kind of capital that can make real dreams come true?
How must your business be structured to attract investors?
What kind of products, services, and ideas will attract investors?
How do you get capital to develop your business?
Where do you find investors that will listen?
I want answers to all these questions and Joel has agreed to provide them.
He will spend 75 minutes sharing this info in a private webinar this Tuesday.
Large companies pay Joel a lot of money to consult them. He has agreed to allow you to listen in for free. He told me you will want to make sure you have pen and paper handy and take notes because he will share information you need to know about attracting capital to your business that you will not be able to find anywhere else.
This is real business info and training… not the pretend stuff you see on the internet all the time.
Like you I will be there taking notes. You can register to attend here:
http://m262.infusionsoft.com/go/caa/capital
Attendance is limited… and a recording might be made available for those who register so register now and schedule the time to focus on this important information.
This is the stuff dreams are brought into reality by.
Early next week I will send you a video demo of brand new video technology and software that I am about to release.
Sincerely,
Josh Anderson
