Family Communication is Inherently Part of Building Entrepreneurial Experience

Anyone who has worked for a single day knows: when the cannons roar, gold flows like water. Without a flagship project on your resume, what will you bring to the table? And why should your family fund you?

Getting money from investors is exactly that — persuasion.

As for申请ing grants andexpense accounting, that comes down to experience. All that flashy maneuvering where you could stretch a spring outing budget to cover the costs of a long journey — wasn't that trained at your parents' side?

Marrying and having children is the most accessiblebig projectanyone can take on. Family is the easiest investor to raise. If you can't manage this, why would raising capital be any different? Investors are parents. Starting a company is having children. The way you originallymanaged expectations with your parents, you should do the same with your investors. The way you originally coaxed your wife into marrying you, that's how you'll coax clients, other partners, and employees today.

Manage all relationships well. Mobilize every resource. Turn every disadvantage into advantage. Turn passivity into proactivity. That's management. Become the person who brings happiness to others — not someone wandering the streets looking for it.
