**My Profitable Proposal For Those that Can Think In The FAST LANE**

[theag]

its funny to read this thread without knowing what the starting post is about. lots of great advice from the usual suspects and lots of nonsense/excuses from the OP.

 

[stephanduq]

You are avoiding the key issue about your money managing skills. If you made 6 figures a year ago, there should be more then enough left to fund this project. Where did that money go, how did you manage to not have $14000,- after quitting that line of work only 6 months ago? It doesn't add up. Your stories are so confusing, did you earn the 6 figures 2-3 years ago, or when you where at the top of the end industry late 2012.

Also I would never invest in you, because you won't pay yourself. You invest in people, people that do not pay themselves turn sick and depressed, and hurt the project in the end.

Edit: I'm still not sure what I would be investing in, what is the actual business? SEO for promoting events I suppose? Also, why can't the equipment be rented for the first event, just bootstrap the concept and get going. Every post leaves me so confused

I hope you're not here defending yourself because you still hope to land a deal. If you're still here at this point it's either because you're stupid or because you're willing to learn.

If you're stupid I have no words for you.
If you're willing to learn, then stop defending yourself and just learn. Click on the usernames of people giving you the advice, look at what they've done. Much of the advice I've seen is worth much more than the money you're asking for.

Find a way to MAKE the money you need. You won't have to give up any equity, you won't have to listen to anybody else's conflicting input, you can do what you believe in the way you know will work and make millions.

100K/year comes out to 8,333/month. So work for 3 months, and then quit with 24K in your pocket ready to set the world on fire with your business. It's 3 months of work, isn't that worth your dream? Isn't the 3 months of work worth the millions of dollars you'll be making from your company?

Stick around the forum, leave this thread alone, find the people who know what they're doing and listen in on the great advice being thrown out there. If you haven't read TMF yet, make that your #2 priority. #1 is making the call you need to make to get your old gig back. You can read the book at night when you're done working.

The bomb has dropped, when will it explode?

 

[dknise]

You just backtracked 10 fold and showed a side of you 10 times worse than your original post. Seriously, reread what you wrote.

But for real man, you're probably right. EVERY SINGLE PERSON is just getting the wrong impression about who you are. You're f***in famous and the coolest person alive and need $14k. I wish I was 1/10th as awesome as you.

Also google Tim Ferris' article on hacking kickstarter.

A million by 2015? So? I know of a business that went too $700k a month profit in 12 months and is legitimately in position to be a $60 mil company in the next 2 years.

**My Profitable Proposal to INVESTORS that Can Think In The FAST LANE**

OP, you said you just got your first debit card? Why would anyone in their right mind invest a measly $14k in someone with no history or documented proof? I think it is a real shot in the dark. Here, more like an impossibility.

Zen has pretty well convinced me nothing is impossible other than maybe dribbling a football. But unless this guy learns to pitch, he doesn't have a prayer in hell.

 

[AllenCrawley]

Funny how this is a forum for people to come share their ideas and gain constructive criticism and support, yet when someone comes by with a radical idea, all they get is scorn and hate. A simple no, or not replying would be fine, but is it really necessary for everyone (including the founder of the forum) to comment ripping apart the user who started the thread?

There becomes a point when the forum becomes less beneficial and more a group of individuals who think they are better than everyone else and let their arrogance get the best of them.

:bgh:

Hopefully you understand better after reading MJ's and dknise response.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Thank you very much. Plus Rep.

Well I must say that you've shown that you can take a punch or two and still stand. That is commendable. Usually by now I get the "delete my account" email which happens after the person doesn't like what he reads.

How much of your own money have you put into this "company"?

Are you partnering with any venues, companies, people etc?

7k-14k is not a mind blowing amount of money, why is it so hard for you to raise this money, have you tried raising 1k at a time?

Are your performers well known? And why do you think the reason is that this has never been done?

 

[Vigilante]

Zen has pretty well convinced me nothing is impossible other than maybe dribbling a football. But unless this guy learns to pitch, he doesn't have a prayer in hell.

Expect more.

You know this is one of the top visited entrepreneur forums on the entire internet, right?

I don't see how this validates the way people were acting towards the original poster. Now that he has defended himself and proved his perseverance people are catching on that this quite possibly could be the idea he portrays it as. All I'm saying is a lot of people here are quick to judge and quick to bash.

A guy comes in creates his VERY FIRST post in which he asks for money, surrounds the post title in asterisks, toots his own horn calling himself a local celebrity, signing autographs and speaks of his overall awesomeness all the while providing little information on the idea and plan and you expect no one to judge and be skeptical...

Please tell everyone how someone should act in this instance..

Hes only asking for 14k but let me guess you arent opening your pocket book are you?

 

[Dezzamondo]

lol, I Like this bit:

right now I am able to make six figures

6 figures should be able to cover $14k... what happened to that?

Doesn't fill an investor with much confidence if you can't control your own finances

 

[Vigilante]

So crowd funding gets around this because you get zero equity in return for your donation.

 

[yaleinnovator]

can you describe what your idea is, in a couple sentences? I still don't know, and I'm curious. I don't have time to read long a$$ posts.

your self esteem is pretty high, which is ok. but you need to tone down your ego slightly. at least to the public anyway. comes off as arrogant.

saying that your the only one in the world that could do this 'idea' is pretty heavy handed.

it kinda sounds ridiculous.

Yes of course. and to your second statement, it's good that you think the idea sounds kinda ridiculous. as entrepreneurs you should all know that millionaires are not made by ideas that sound 'normal'. and it is not an idea, it is a combination of ideas, all boosting each others success. these ideas are created with a specific vision. if you do not possess the knowledge, imagination, vision, immense motivation, talent, and connections to replicate them and constantly produce more ideas just like the ones you have already, then you have no luck. You never know, I may not be the only person in the world who is capable, but I am the only who is doing it.

I don't see how this validates the way people were acting towards the original poster. Now that he has defended himself and proved his perseverance people are catching on that this quite possibly could be the idea he portrays it as.

exactly.

lol, I Like this bit:

If you read the posts you will see that I had to leave nightlife. I made a leave of absence to the public, saying that when I come back I will have built something great. The nightlife industry relies heavily on your reputation. If I were to go back now without my company my reputation would be tarnished. I'd also have to get people back into the habit of coming out to parties and events, which I don't have time for. People close to me have brought it up why don't you just do one event and go back. What I would be losing in that process, valuable time and reputation would not be worth it for me. This is why I am here.

Anytime you see the words "Guaranteed" or "Cannot Fail" then you run the other way and never look back.
All of these long a$$ post and I still have no FN clue what the business idea is.

I am not marketing my post with words like 'guaranteed'. I am telling you the truth what is real, that I have an incredibly small chance of failure. This is the sole purpose im living, the only reason I breathe. If it went down i'd go down with it but it would never because my mind makes everything I want to happen, happen. What I have done so far, what is already happening right now, and what is inevitable to happen in a few months all show that I will not fail. I have figured out the industry, how it works, and how to make it. Not to mention I will be running off of genius ideas and a concrete profitable vision. In a logical sense it literally is almost impossible to fail.
And you would not know my ideas because I said from the beginning in my first post that I was not going to reveal my ideas on a public forum. If you are a potential investor you will be filled in on every detail, and then you can decide from there whether or not you want to continue with me.

I love that somebody quoted that you were making 6 figures as a college student promoting prior to this and yet you can't scrounge up a measly $14,000. So honestly, if you were making over a hundred grand a year, how do you have zero in savings? You say you're a man with a concrete plan and strategy, yet there's a huge crack in your personal finances and ability to finance it yourself.

EDC is starting next weekend and their cost alone was $35 million. The only actual "events" you can get started with $14k are small, SUPER small. We have EDM events here in Seattle with 3 stages, 50 performers, and are just massive events. The cost to host one must be mind boggling, but they're often times paid for through ticket sales before the set equipment is even rented. So, how is $14k going to skyrocket you above the likes of these guys?

I should note something about myself. I'm going to be a multi-millionaire in the next few years. I believe a lot of people on this forum are on that path as well. The offers for my pre-revenue company have been coming in at over 7 figures, which has just given me more confidence than ever to continue. I'm 23 years old, work from my apartment, and am catching the attention of nearly every big company imaginable, and have the luxury of getting to speak to them. If I ever started a thread claiming all that out-right in the fashion I just did, people would like at me like I'm a huge egotistical douche. Even after I sell the company, I won't share my story in that fashion. The same information can be conveyed in two different ways and show to entirely different meanings about the person.

I like this post, because it actually has some real information in it. It will be a pleasure responding to this.
1. If you read above in this same post, you can see why I wont be using nightlife to get these funds.
2.

I have been in the nightlife industry since 15 and rose to the top of it as the #1 promoter in my state, throwing one of most successful events of the year 2012, on my own. Without my company, right now I am able to make six figures in the nightlife/entertainment industry but that isn’t what I want.

In my original post I stated I rose to the top in 2012 so I haven't been making 6 figures for years I am able to make it now. (20-30k event 1 month promo each) 20-30k x 12 = 6 figures easy. Obviously I have come across something bigger and better so that isn't what I want.

I am able to hold events at most of the biggest nightclubs in my state and surrounding states. These deals can work in many ways, but usually it will be getting a certain percentage after you hit a certain attendance cap. i.e: 1400 people attend you receive 85% of door/ticket sales. in these ways I don't have to spend anything to host the event besides paying for promo, dancers, promoters, and djs which get paid after the event. the owner would keep the other 15% for themselves.

And yes, in Seattle, your best event is Decibel Festival. It's held in late September and has about 60 artists. These are the events that I will be doing in the future. And yes, that is one of the reasons I am not doing them now it costs a lot do. I also recommend that you go to Foundation Nightclub in Seattle as it is nationally ranked.
14k is going to make myself and my first artist main attractions at these festivals and events nation wide, even world wide in a short amount of time, as well as establish our brand to our entire niche in united states. This 14k will make me a million then I start phase two of my plan, bigger moves are then made.

And to your last part, yes I understand that. If that is true that's great for you and I wish you much luck on your journey.

You can make 6 fig in nightlife promoting but can't go earn the 14k? You had to exit quickly? What did you do? You sound lazy, maybe based on your past success. Go back and earn the money, sounds like it'd be a 1 or 2 week gig for you then go out and make your millions.

You've posted no samples of your talent?

YALE, I am a great actor, my family says so and would ask me for my autograph too. I am also a local celebrity, my parents think the world of me. Hollywood is a multi-billion dollar business and top notch actors can be paid 5-20million per movie and much more if they get a piece of the action.

YALE, why don't you send me 14k because if I had that to get to Hollywood it would be a slam dunk.

No, I won't show you my SAG card, monologue, or demo reel until you put up the money because I want serious investors only who are sophisticated, and understand the Hollywood game that can appreciate my superlative talent.

read above in this post for the answer to your first statements.

and lmao haha sorry but if only your parents love you your not a local celeb kiddo you also don't have any previous accomplishments you can back up :smash: maybe if you can tell me how it would be a slam dunk i might be interested. but like i said previously.. serious POTENTIAL investors (that have the money and would be interested in investing in a company with this type of potential) will be filled in on all the information before they invest a dime into my company, then they can decide whether or not to continue with the process.

and for the future guys, please check if a question has already been asked previously in the thread before you ask it. would save me a lot of time, thanks everyone.

Before I start, I know I don’t really have any posts, it’s because I’m new to the whole investment thing so try not to judge me on it. This is the first time I have ever done anything like this, so please bear with me. Also I don’t expect everyone to understand my position; only open minded, strategic and visionary people will be able to understand. You will understand 110% after I provide more insight to legitimate investors, in private. I will try to be as detailed as possible with my proposal without giving away my ideas and secrets to the public.

Here it goes. I have a company that has an incredibly small chance of failing. It will generate up to 1 million dollars by 2015.

First there’s a little about me that you should know.

I have been a local celebrity since the age of 16 throughout my entire state. (Autographs and all) I have been in the nightlife industry since 15 and rose to the top of it as the #1 promoter in my state, throwing one of most successful events of the year 2012, on my own. Throughout these years I have made the connections and gathered the knowledge to make my company possible. Without my company, right now I am able to make six figures in the nightlife/entertainment industry but that isn’t what I want. I am now 21 years old and a junior in college. I decided to take a semester off for this, and now I see that I will not have to go back to college.

I will be a famous performer in a few months, the first of my kind. My company is a record label and event company in one. Both parts of the company are the first of their kind in a market that is aching for a company like this to take flight and a market that is EXTREMELY easy to make money in right now, especially for me. For those who aren’t informed on the music market, the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) industry recently experienced a HUGE explosion in the United States. It’s becoming the most dominant form of music over all other genres and has dramatically transformed the cultures of our upcoming generations. This is now the music new generations grow up on. The attendance of EDM events and sales of records have increases as dramatic as 100% spikes. The flourishing of this market is not over... my company is the last ingredient to the final expansion of this cultural phenomenon, expanding electronic dance music to its fullest potential, they need us.

I have one artists signed, and he is going to turn the entire electronic dance music industry upside down. He is a star and with the right funds, if I had to say where he truly belonged, it would be elaborate Las Vegas performances. There will be 7 artists of this caliber in total, all serving a specific purpose. I have figured out the industry, I have skills to my arsenal that some people don’t even think exist or would even try and as far as my ambition for the company, I would die for it. The specific vision for this company is not only profitable, its genius.
Since I’m just a college student and I work 16-20 hours daily on my company I don't have time for a part time job. This is making it hard to fund what I need right now as I cannot go back to nightlife until this company is up and running. Essentially, with our performance abilities, revolutionary marketing campaign and connections I will be able to fund the company on my own but that isn't till launch.

One big element that has made this possible is our viral marketing. Our marketing campaign is so advanced, so accurate, it has gathered our entire niche market in the United States of America, and has prepared it for a time release and specific geographical dispensing over the course of 4 months. It has taken me 6 months working rigorously every day to prepare it and has not started yet. It is almost like an atomic bomb, and has not been attempted in the electronic dance music industry ever before, and probably never in any industry at all. It is about one week away from starting. It’s going to target millions of people at an alarming rate, making us huge. With a combination of this and our strong profitable abilities, success is inevitable.

The rough estimate of a 1 million dollar net worth by 2015 would be a combination of performances, large events, record sales, and merchandise. The average famous DJ in electronic dance music gets anywhere from $10,000-$50,000 a performance. A big famous DJ in EDM can get paid up to $500,000 for a 2 hour performance. A small EDM event can pay from $15,000-$30,000. A large event can pay up to $6,000,000 in profit for one 3 day event, (this number is growing). We will be doing performances across the United States for the duration of the year 2014 on our U.S tour as well as shooting a mini reality series. These performances in combination with record sales, small events and merchandise have the potential to realistically generate $500,000 –$ 1,000,000 by 2015. Once this money is acquired the company will further expand.

What I need is just enough money for custom SEO marketing software, money to pay some people that are going to do big things for us, and money for just one piece of equipment for me and one piece of equipment for my first artist. Each of these pieces of equipment might need to be designed by professionals and are essential key elements in our performances. So in total we'd probably be asking 7k-14k in exchange for a percentage of the company. Of course if you are interested in this deal, you will be filled in on all the details you need to make further judgments. I would never have an investor blind about anything and in fact, whoever I choose will be updated every step of the way. We will keep a close relationship and everything can be done under contract under mutually agreed terms.

I know this thread will be very controversial, as my claims are large. But everything I said is real. Whoever gives the best and most credible interest to my proposal won’t be left up in the air on anything and will be a part of the growing of this company, as a partner and as a part of a team. If you are LEGITAMATELY interested in investing in a company with this much potential and you possess the funds to invest, post if you are seriously considering. Please be polite with responses. If you are, I can then inform you on any questions you have at all about the company and more in depth on myself and the company’s talents and abilities in confidentiality.

Thank you all for your time, with sincerity.

You should really work on your pitch. Then you go on about this:

The rough estimate of a 1 million dollar net worth by 2015 would be a combination of performances, large events, record sales, and merchandise.

Like dknise, said.

One million dollars by 2015 isn't really that big.

So, you're talking about atomic bombs and then you say
that the figure is 1 million dollars by 2015.

Something just smells funny to me.

Maybe you could send some big names a demo/sample(whatever it's called) of the music
you are about to release to the world?

Better yet, just hit up someone like Rick Rubin or something.

Try twitter or something.

If it's the kind of atomic bombs that you state.

Then, he will be interested to give you the money and maybe
cut you a good deal on the spot.

 

[yaleinnovator]

"fluff, fluff, fluff... I need money"

Maybe you have a good idea, maybe you don't. But your post said nothing, so people won't be able to tell.

If you have a good idea— it's easy to raise money for it. If you make it extremely difficult to tell if you have a good idea— people with money don't go through the work to figure it out. Describe in 1-2 short paragraphs exactly how you will make investors money and it's going to be substantially more productive than talking about atomic bombs that are going to go off when you launch.

I understand exactly where you are coming from. Why it might sound like fluff is only because I tried to explain the potential of the company without giving away key secrets. I'm trying to narrow down who I disclose crucial information to, to potential investors.

But in a very short statement. It would be i'm going to make investors money from the revenue the company will generate through mine and my artists paid performances, record sales online, royalty checks from the radio, money from 'small edm events' (which I have been doing for years), and sales from merchandise. We have revolutionary performances, broad connections, lots of experience and tons of knowledge. This field is home to me as Investing is to you.

I had to stop reading because the incredible size of your ego was blocking most of the text.

Also, a million in revenue by 2015? GTFO. That's not a big business, that's a small, independent business for one, two, or three people.

Sorry if it looked like I had a large ego..it's hard to explain the potential of my company and the confidence I have in it without seeming at least a little over-confident.

We launch close to 2014 and by 2015 a million revenue I think is a good start. Lots of people in the music industry can't even achieve a million in revenue over the course of their lives. It can go faster than that but I want to be realistic with the numbers I give out. This would only be the start. Once the company is actually established I have much much bigger plans than generating income from mostly performances, it will be much more than 1 million. That's when my hard work really starts.

If your idea is so grand, go get a line of credit. 14K is a small price to pay for a company that has no chance at failing, don't you think?

Well I'm a student and I just got my first debit card, I haven't really established any credit yet.

If you're so fnkin big why do you need 14k?
Smells like bull

No, I couldn't finish the whole thing either.

lol if you had read the entire post you would have seen that I need the 14k to become 'big', then the rewards will come back to the investor.

You should really work on your pitch. Then you go on about this:
Like dknise, said.
One million dollars by 2015 isn't really that big.

So, you're talking about atomic bombs and then you say
that the figure is 1 million dollars by 2015.

Then, he will be interested to give you the money and maybe
cut you a good deal on the spot.

Don't mean it to sound funny, I tried to be as realistic with the numbers as possible, it can definitely blow up faster than I announced and I have already prepared for that, but I don't want to make promises that I am unsure of.

To your music suggestion, in the industry you want to be heard about and approached first if it's possible, not be another guy trying to get a big guy to listen to his music. This makes sending big names music is almost useless if you plan to make a real impact fast., which we are.

Thank you all for ideas about ways to find investments though. I came here because I knew you guys would help either way by investing or giving good advice.

Let me guess: You were once the star quarterback in high school who is now finding out that the real world doesn't give a shit.

$14k should be a piss in the bucket for a local celebrity.

This forum isn't BS'd so easily.

lmao yes i was hahah I was a local celeb in the nightlife/entertainment industry.

Not really a piss in a bucket. I can make it through one event with about 2-3 weeks promotion. But as I said in my post, I cannot return to the nightlife industry until this company launched. I kind of made a dramatic exit and cut myself off from the world in order to work on this company so rigorously. Many elements involved in that. No BS brother.

 

[yaleinnovator]

What I would give to be young and naive again....

young yes. naive, not so much. i'm going to be a powerhouse in my industry.

 

[Vick]

Kickstarter it.

Then you'll know.

 

[yaleinnovator]

Whats wrong with crowdfunding? If your a local celebrity wouldn't you be able to raise that much money in a snap on Kickstarter or something???

I think you would be an ideal crowd-funding candidate.

Can you please explain? I'm new the investment thing.

 

[codo3500]

Never use "SEO" and "Small Risk of Failing" in the same sentiment my friend.

Ok, you are naive in the ways of asking for money, which I would bet will translate to you being naive in business. Not a good investment for anyone. You got the self promotion/tooting your own horn down though.

Hopefully your self confidence will get you there. But you might want to learn how to pitch an idea first.

 

[Tom.V]

Many people come to this forum, share their ideas, get constructive criticism, and a lot is said, shared, and learned. When someone posts a TLDR of I'm a f***in celebrity and the coolest thing that has ever happened to this world so give me money... we're smacking him back to reality. The constructive criticism we can give back in this situation is that he's an egotistical maniac blowing smoke up people's a$$ on a forum online. That's the constructive criticism. It may sound cynical, but it's the truth, and a pill that needs to be swallowed in order to progress forward.

Agreed. It is one thing to come to the forum, and ask for criticism of ones idea and plan. It is a completely different story to come here and ask complete strangers for money for a supposed "million dollar scheme" without even making a proper introduction. The real world is harsh, I would hope this place would reflect upon that.

OP, you said you just got your first debit card? Why would anyone in their right mind invest a measly $14k in someone with no history or documented proof? I think it is a real shot in the dark. Here, more like an impossibility.

SEO can be used in the same sentence if you have come up with something as large as I have in involving it. Thanks, PMed.

lol you are making assumptions of little information about me, if you were one of the investors that have already decided to join me, you would know too that everything I said that is going to happen, is going to happen. My pitch is limited because I am not disclosing key information to my success in public, Which would be the factor that would drive my pitch in the first place.

You are being rude. I actually gave everyone background information about myself. This is reality and I am going to make it in this industry very shortly. How you feel about that is your own matter, my friend. And as far as blowing smoke up people's asses. In depth, concrete, facts and ideas are being filled in with investors who want to take the next step of the process. They are filled in on every detail, and then they can make their judgement whether to go through with investing or not, they aren't asked to make any commitments before this point.

Sorry bro, but his *radical idea* is not the cause for scorn and hate. You know what is? Attitude. Arrogance. Lack of due diligence. Lack of respect for the forum. And lack of respect for the forum owner, who BTW, didn't create this forum to be a pitch fest for drive-by posters.
And yes it would be perfect, but please take Jack's advice before doing so.

Well, I have much respect for the forum and all of its creators and posters. This is why I am not a drive by poster. I'm here to become apart of this community. I've been reading a lot here and found useful content.
I see a kick starter would be one good option for me. Thank you for that as well.

Google crowdfunding. Google Kickstarter. And maybe look over the info on the following links.

Curious... Why hasn't your local celebrity status produced any investors? Here your issue will be credibility. At home (the geography in which you are a celebrity) you should easily be able to overcome a credibility gap. Have you approached individuals familiar with your track record? Friends? Family? HS buddies? Coworkers?

Serious question.

I've designed my company in a time release geographical dispensing in which the people in my state will hear about it last out of everyone in the united states. I'm hitting my most intimately connected fans with the 'surprise factor'. I don't come from any money or fortune.. my family is all middle class and I try to help my mother out when I can, she struggles. My friends don't have any money either. I'm 21 and I have distanced myself from everyone in order to be able to work this hard. The only people that could have been a possibility would be people in my industry and I don't want any of them knowing how I did it and not to mention they aren't really the most trust-able people in the world, they would be the ones to attempt to steal my ideas.
