Venture Capital Money For You?
April 20, 2009 by Dr. Letitia Wright
Filed under Wright Ideas
Venture Capitalist Money is down 61%. So where are we going to get new money to start businesses? People how have gotten venture capital before more likely to get it again. Where are these people and how do you get to them?
One of the best books I have read to explain the entire venture capitalist game is Reality Check by Guy Kawasaki. This is a 400+page book which explains the game to regular folks. This is where you need to be fully engaged and ready to rock. If you are not ready for the opportunity, you won’t get it.
The old days of getting a bunch of credit cards does not work that well. Banks are changing names, closing accounts and basically are making it difficult to work with them. The SBA has new programs however most are not funded yet.
The SBA has a free online course at

There you can learn and get a complete understanding of what is available.
Alternative funding is available more than bank funding, yet not many people know about it or look into it.
We’ll be talking about that at our next workshop:

3 Reasons People do not use Virtual Assistants- and Why YOU should!
April 18, 2009 by Dr. Letitia Wright
Filed under Wright Ideas
I tell people all the time, get a virtual assistant to help you be more organized. They reasons why they never do are the following:
1. They can?t afford one
2. They don?t know what they would have her do
3. They do not know how to work with one.
Let?s talk about those issues.
I can?t afford one: You can negotiate the hours and money. Especially now when a lot of people are looking for work. If you can clearly tell them what is required, they can set clear prices. You want someone who will not bill you and require a minimum. If you are like me, I have busy weeks and weeks where I do not need much done. If your business is like that then you need someone a little bit flexible.
I don?t know what she would do: This means you think YOU have to do everything. In your business, everything can be delegated except the thing that makes you unique. For example- I host Wright Place? TV Show . I can get another host however, it will lose a little of it?s flavor. I make it The Wright Place? TV Show. Everything else can really be delegated out. You have to decide what to give up so that you can do more important things. Things that actually bring cash money in. You must have revenue generating activities. If you do not have those done, no money comes in.
I don?t know how to work with one: Yes, it is hard to imagine someone who is NOT coming into your office everyday and yet has access to your files. You can contact by phone or by email and keep things moving in your office. Perhaps you will have them follow up with phone calls, emails or even make appointments for you. There are infinite ways to use a virtual assistant. What do I look for? Someone who sounds friendly and energetic. Remember they are representing your company to a certain extent.
if you are a virtual assistant, this is a great place to leave your comment and your website!
Recession Proof Workshop

Only 5 Seats At this Price
Do you know the 2 biggest problem in starting or growing your business?
- Its People KNOWING about your business
- Having the money to start or grow your business
When those 2 things fall apart, so does your business!
For the past 9 years, Wright Place TV Show has been giving business owners access to the information they need to start or grow a business. We have had experts like Mark Victor Hansen, Stedman Graham, T. Harv Eker, Robert Allen and even Dottie Walters ( when she was alive) has graced our television studio.
Times are different, for some its hard. The 2 things you need to grow a business are for enough people to know about you and the money to start or expand.
You still have to market and you still need to have more and more people know about you.
Wright Place TV is having a workshop in the Rancho Cucamonga Office on May 23, 2009. We’ll be talking about Cash and Fame. I’ll be sharing the sources of money you don’t hear about in the news. See it’s hard to use credit cards to start your business if the banks are not giving anyone new cards and places like American Express are lowering people’s limits even if they are never late.
It’s also hard letting people find out about your business.
This is for you if you quality:
1) If your business is in Start up or growth phase.
2) If you willing to set aside 4 hours on a Saturday for this event
3) If you have an outline or idea of 3 business basics ( your customer, the problem you solve, your revenue model)
The Workshop is May 23 at 9 am until 1 pm
We’ll be working in small groups and intensely.
You’ll also get a gift bag for resource materials valued at $75.00
These materials will help you continue even the workshop.
Now is still a great time to start and grow a business. If you have felt stuck because of not enough customers or money then you need to be at this workshop on May 23rd.
