I think the most expensive money is borrowing money from your friends because you don't give the money back.
Your friendship is not the same anymore, but they trust you and they want to see you do well.
And their desire minus fear, which is we talk about persuasion, their fear of losing money is subordinate to their desire for you to do well.
And they know that in order for you to do well, you need resources you don't have.
So as an individual, first, you need to find out who trusts you, who are the people who desire your success more than they fear, or they trust you're going to make money for them.
They desire to make money and they don't fear that you're going to lose it because they've seen you in action in other places.
So that's where you have to start.
Politicians call this the hard reelect number.
The hard reelect number is some base number where no matter what you do, they still will vote for you.
So you first have to figure out naturally who would give me money.
And then from there, you sort of multiply it.
You say, well, if I think that my friends and family are going to give me, let's say, a million dollars, then maybe my goal is to raise two or three million dollars.
Because from their trust, I can leverage their trust to see.
Now, maybe you could do better than that.
But you have to start from there.
You're not going to raise $100 million off of friends and family of a million.
Right.
But you should do better than $500,000.
By the way, that tends to be my experience.
If your first close is a billion dollars, you tend to tap out at $2 billion.
