There’s nothing that crushes your confidence quite like staring at your bank balance and realizing you might not make your bills in a few months.

Your savings are dwindling, you’ve got a life to pay for, and there’s still no funding in sight.

At the same time, you still have to step up, sell your vision, and pitch your startup like everything’s fine.

You’re not alone, so don’t feel bad.

This happens to entrepreneurs everywhere, and it happened to me.

People don’t talk enough about the most gut-wrenching parts of entrepreneurship: raising funding while financially hanging by a thread.

Struggling to make ends meet, sacrificing short-term stability for the long-term win.

How do you keep going when the financial pressure mounts? How do you make sure you can still pay your bills?

In this episode of Seed Money, I’m getting real about one of the hardest parts of raising capital and how to keep walking the tightrope between chasing your vision and paying for your life.

Topics Covered;

  • Focus on the outcome, not the path

  • How to stay fundable when you’re broke

  • The Side Hustle Survival Playbook

  • How to reframe struggle as proof of grit
