## Resource

Today’s Takeaways: Giving Fuels Growth Bettina’s “flywheel” is built on giving, supporting, and championing others. The more she gives, the more her wealth and impact grow. Invest in Founders First Bettina backs people: character, courage, coachability, and emotional intelligence matter more than the pitch. Founders Must Be Resilient Operators Early-stage leaders are the salesperson, HR, CFO, and cleaner! Emotional stamina is essential. Don’t Beg! Be Irresistible Confidence attracts capital. Frame your solution so investors want in (be a cat, not a puppy). Ask “How Can I Help?” Before You Ask for Anything Offer value first; build trust before requesting intros or investment. Formalize Advisor Contributions Use clear legal agreements (equity, success fees) when advisors actively deliver results. Hire Around Gaps, Don’t Force Fit Founders If the founder isn’t the best CEO, find complementary co-founders or board members who can step up. Build High & Deep Moats Focus on defensibility: product-market fit plus barriers that competitors can’t easily replicate. Learn Fast from Failure Courage to fail + ability to learn and iterate = a fundable founder. Surround Yourself with Positive, Self-Aware People Remove toxicity; choose advisors and teammates who lift you. Play to Build Courage Make time for fun and risky challenges ,they train you to take bold business bets. Give to Receive. Be a Customer & Champion Supporting founders as a user or promoter is a powerful form of kindness and investment.
