@QuickBooks It sounds counterintuitive, but a successful crowdfunding campaign isn't about you--it's about your backers. Empathize with them. How do they want to be talked to and what can you offer them that they'll really want. Also: what @KChatterz said. #backingyou
@QuickBooks When you're raising cash for your business, go to family first, and investors last--don't give a piece of your dream away unless you have no other option. Also: streamline your plan and start cheap! #backingyou
@QuickBooks Perhaps this is the biggest challenge because we are always working. Lately though, we've set aside one day a week to recharge at home. It takes a lot of discipline to unplug and not think about the to-do list! #backingyou
@QuickBooks Knowing that all the hard work, all the choices you make, all the time you commit, that it's all ultimately going toward benefiting you and the people you care about. #backingyou
@QuickBooks When you're the big boss, the buck stops with YOU! You can't just sit back and let someone else worry about it, or deal with it. (It helps when a lot when your partner is your wife/husband though!) #backingyou
@QuickBooks Our big moment was when Will quit his job to so he could spend more time working on getting the butcher shop (@DarkePines) open. That was an exciting, and anxious, eureka moment for us. #backingyou
@QuickBooks We really wanted to carve out a path of our own. Our butcher shop allows us to do that, as well as letting us play a positive role in our community. #backingyou
