Startup Fundraising and Landing Customers ...

→ It all boils down to 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 ..
You have to convince someone to see the future 🌟

But here’s the catch — you can’t just tell them about it.
You have to 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬 them.

Whether it’s an investor or a customer your job is to paint a clear, compelling vision of the future. 

One they can believe in. 
One they want to be part of.

→ And that kind of vision?

It doesn’t come from hype.
It comes from 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹.
𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝘁, 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘁.

→ Without vision, there is no venture.

→ Without revelation, people cast off restraint. (Prov 29:18)

God told Habakkuk to 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣.

Because He’s not just interested in what you build...
𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝗶𝘁.

So let me ask you something.

👉 Can you 𝙨𝙚𝙚 what you’re building?

👉 Can you show it clearly — in a pitch deck, in a product demo, in a sales call?

If not, you might be stuck in the fog of stress — and stress hijacks your clarity.

Here’s how I know I’ve lost sight of the vision:

I’m overwhelmed.
I’m exhausted.

I start making excuses.
And startup life starts to feel like a grind.

But startup life 𝙞𝙨𝙣’𝙩 a grind — not when you know:

→ What to do
→ How to do it
→ When to do it

Even the setbacks feel purposeful when you’re in alignment.

Even the delays serve your development 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗰 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗼𝗱.

So if you’re stuck, tired, or spinning in circles — here’s how I reset:

𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱 — Open the Bible daily, He 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 speak.
𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽 𝗷𝗼𝘆𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 — If you want the harvest, plant the seed.
𝗥𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 — Not your own. His yoke is easy.

Because startup wisdom starts with vision…
But it’s sustained by alignment.

So how are you showing your future today?

And more importantly…
𝗪𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴?
