You should try this...

So, if you’re reading this email, remember to send me a quick reply so I know you got it.

Now, back to today’s lesson.

Recently, I had a chat with one of the members in my private program who is facing an interesting problem with his new business.

After more than 7 years of discussing his business idea with family, friends, and colleagues, he couldn’t convince them to raise enough seed capital to kickstart his business.

He tried applying for different grants and loans, but nothing came through.

All these failed attempts led to frustration, and he almost gave up on the business idea.

The problem was, his ideas wouldn’t let him sleep.

A year ago, he made the bold decision to go it alone with his personal funds and the little financial support he could get from family and friends.

According to his vision and masterplan, he wanted to develop a 50-hectare integrated rice farm – based on a hybrid rice variety.

But according to reality, the capital he had could only develop 3 hectares. That’s really small compared to the initial vision.

In April this year, his first harvest did really well. It achieved a whopping 7.4 tons per hectare, one of the highest yields ever in his region.

But now, there’s a problem

Since the good news started filtering out, he’s been getting calls – from friends, colleagues and family.

He’s had visits from the local media, and the ministry of agriculture in the region has reached out to offer support and partnership.

His farm was recently inspected by an evaluation team from one of the big international development funds.

Apart from the praises and congratulations, you know what else they’re asking?

How can we join? How can we invest? How can we be part of this project?

So, from looking for start-up capital, he now has a new problem – which offers should he take?
