Buying Why You Do It

May 28, 2010 • No Comments

A video from future Spoke Fund® manager Dustin, who says:

I’m always looking for things I can add to the ‘mental file cabinet’. Thought you might find this one interesting. This helps explain why Spoke Funds and aligning your interests with investors works.

“People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.”

My favorite was this quote:

“The goal is not to do business with anybody who needs what you have. The goal is to do business with people who believe what you believe.”

Enjoy.

Last Call for Spoke Fund Workshop

April 22, 2010 • 1 Comment

Here’s the original post. As a reminder – on Saturday, May 15, I’m going to be putting on a workshop here in Islamorada for anyone wanting to learn how to build a spoke fund. We’ll cover as much as we can, as quickly as we can, with plenty of time for Q&A. A detailed agenda, including more about logistics, will come out via email to attendees next week. And yes, it’s free, but BYOB.

At last count, there were 8 folks coming – though they clearly had the brainpower of 20. If you’d like to attend, too, please email me here prior to this Sunday night. More soon.
