Hey, FastLayners, Ryan here.

Welcome to Freedom Fastlane.

You know, I am always consistently impressed with the excuses that people make about the results that they get in their life.

I very firmly believe that the fastest way that you can change any circumstances in your life

is to take responsibility for it.

When you take responsibility for it, you no longer are a victim.

And when you're not a victim, that means that you can do something about it. I don't

care if it is your health, if it is your six-pack abs, if it's your relationship, or if it's

your business, your income, what stresses you out, the minute you take responsibility for something,

the minute you can be free of it because you can manage it and do something about it. That was a longer rant than I expected,

but that was born out of an excuse that I often hear that people have when they say that they

want to have a business and they don't and that's because

they say their excuses that they don't have money for inventory or they don't have the capital

that they need in order to start a business. Hey, look, I recognize the role that capital plays

in businesses, but to simply say, I don't have it,

therefore I can't, is a pathetic excuse. And so I want to go through seven ways that you can fund

your inventory and or raise capital to start or scale your business or company.

At one of our in-person tribe meetings last fall,

there were 60 to 100 people there,

and the big question that came up among people

who were trying to scale their business was,

I'm out of my own personal reserves to fund the growth of my business.
