Right. And I forgot to say that the best investor is no investor — customers are your ideal investor.

There are many places to meet people who can later become your investors. Industry conferences, trade shows, even Little League games. The idea is just to expand your network.

Hi Francine – thanks for the advice. I would also add that even when you go to people who know you, make sure they are “believers.” Not only in your concept, but in you as well.

Hi Francine – thanks for your feedback. I appreciate your honesty – and I do agree. My problem is that I don't actually “run in circles” of people who have tons of money to invest. But I'll keep looking – and I'll keep networking – and I'll keep trying to “meet” the people who have the potential to partner with me in my business…I think that once they meet “me” then it will be easier for them to catch the passion I have – which is very contagious!

Maybe one day we can “meet” and then you too, may be interested in what I am doing!

Have a great day!
