Hey Persuaders!

In partnership with

Storysharing mindset

Mindset is a vital part of the fundraising process.

It is inherently important that you have the proper mindset when you are going through a draining process filled with rejections and often no end in sight. Mindset is so important because you usually end up on autopilot during the process because of the repetitiveness and the need to detach emotionally.

So, what is one way that you can fundamentally change your mindset to benefit you when you do end up on autopilot?

Free Notion and Unlimited AI

Thousands of startups use Notion as a connected workspace to create and share docs, take notes, manage projects, and organize knowledge—all in one place. We’re offering 3 months of new Plus plans + unlimited AI (worth up to $3,000)! To redeem the Notion for Startups offer:

  2. Include our partner key, STARTUP4110P67801.

Your #1 objective is to share your story.

That is the mindset you need to adopt. You aren’t trying to raise; you aren’t trying to convince anyone. You need to believe that you have a story that can raise and attract both investors and customers. Then, your job is to share your story. Share it with anyone and everyone.

Never stop sharing your story. If you are in a conversation with someone, the goal is to share your story, no matter how much they hate you or your company, no matter the circumstance you share your story.

If you share your story with as many people as possible, then eventually, it will get spread around, and the right investors and customers will find you.

Do you share your story with everyone?
