Today we’re going to be talking about money… more specifically: financing your dream. I’m talking to Myra Good, author of Strugglepreneur, 10 Reasons Your Business is Struggling financially and How to Fix it. Myra Good has been passionate about growth freedom, and hitting that “next level” for as long as she can remember. After college, she decided to start a handbag line that ultimately became her dream project. Her products were being manufactured overseas and being shipped to her fulfillment center where she had a team of agents and sales reps at her disposal and everything was happening as planned, until it wasn’t…
After her first collection, she realized she had spent all of her personal savings, including cashing out a 6-figure 401K to sustain her company. When it came to launching her second collection, the business went belly up and she had her back against the wall with no money left to run the business. She decided to seek help from banks, as any business owner would, but they turned her down. They told her there was no way out and no one ever told her about the possibility of alternative credits options.
After stumbling upon alternative financing, she knew something needed to change. She knew that running a business, be it online or offline, shouldn’t have to be that hard. She went back to the basics and learned from the best of the best in the industry. Myra has been certified by the National Associate of Credit Management in Business Credit. She is also a Personal Finance Counselor and a Personal Credit Expert. Today she’ll be sharing her knowledge about alternative financing and how you can possibly use it to find more success in your business.
