We created the Action Family™ Mentoring Program to show people how to break through barriers and achieve what others said couldn't be done. We've purchased over 264 units in 5 countries using Other People's Money and with NO joint venture partners. 😉 Want to learn how to build generational wealth using the same strategies we use?

After a founder pitched our fund Never once did we say after they left the room → I didn't like their deck → I didn't like the word they used → can't believe they didn't have page numbers The conversation was always around: → Do we get it? → Are we excited about it? → Are they the right team to execute on it? So if you're building a pitch deck, focus on the things that matter 💪 -- ♻️ Repost to help a founder in your network Click 'visit my website' at the top of this post to register for my free Seed to Series A training session 💪

Chapter 16: Growth Spurt Part 1 Hey there, LinkedIn fam! 👋 Sharing a pivotal moment in my journey post-Shark Tank. 🦈💼 After the initial rush of appearing on Shark Tank, reality hit hard—I found myself stuck at a revenue plateau. 📉 But then, I stumbled upon a game-changer: a mentor through the UMSL DEI accelerator grant program. 🌟 This mentor, a seasoned pro in consumer products with a successful track record, became my guiding light. 💡 He emphasized the need to either scale up or pivot out. 🔄 With his guidance, we embarked on weekly mentoring sessions, where I was held accountable and saw tangible progress week by week. 📈 Then came the game-changing moment—an opportunity with Target that required a substantial investment of $100,000 to fulfill the order. 💰 My mentor didn't just leave me hanging; he orchestrated an investor night where I pitched my business and successfully raised the necessary funds. 💼🚀 This journey taught me the power of mentorship and accountability. 🙌 With the right guidance, even the toughest plateaus can be conquered! 🏔️ #MentorshipMatters #BreakingPlateaus #FlipstikSuccess #TargetOpportunity #AccountabilityIsKey

An accelerator should equip you with a community to fall back on well beyond the end of the program. Because an accelerator–like a business–should be founded on relationships. OCEAN Accelerator is open for applications to Cohort 10 and we’re so excited to see how this group takes shape! Every year for the last nine years, a group of early-stage founders has come together to grow in business knowledge, strategies, and vision. But more importantly, they create lasting bonds with each other, the mentors, the investors, the donors, and the alumni in the broader OCEAN Programs community. Because OCEAN Accelerator emphasizes founder health and relationships as much as business know-how. You can feel the energy when the group gathers in person at the beginning, halfway point, and the culminating point of Demo Day. Lasting bonds are forming that will shape and guide the founders well beyond the 17-week program. That’s what an accelerator should do. We’re taking applications for Cohort 10 through March 22. This is your chance to join the OCEAN family! If you’re looking for an enduring community and an integrated accelerator, apply now: https://lnkd.in/gVBpgzNE

SPONSORSHIP > MENTORSHIP This is an important conversation Techstars CEO, David Cohen, and I had last week about: 1. Overlooked founders being over-mentored and under-funded 2. Why sponsorship > mentorship, and 3. How to convert mentors into sponsors Founders, grab a pen and paper and get to these 💰💰💰. Let's grow. 📈
