Starting something new soon - "Southwest Enterprises" Here’s my story: A couple of months ago, I was on the brink of starting something new. The feelings were all too familiar - a mix of nervousness, excitement, and uncertainty. It reminded me of when I started IGC, and I realized that these feelings are universal, especially among entrepreneurs. My wife’s , Adriana De La Fuente, constant support has helped me stay strong throughout my journey. Fast forward to today, my new venture is taking shape.  We’re focusing on supplying CO2 to businesses, a niche yet essential market. Our launch is slated for the next 2 weeks. If you’re reading this and know someone who constantly runs out of CO2 or needs it, I’d appreciate it if you could let me know through the form below. We are starting our focus in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. I’m committed to keeping my network updated about this new venture. Should you need more details, feel free to DM me.

NEW BUSINESS Woodworm took me 5 years to get it from a blank piece of paper to a £10m valuation. My last business took the same, 5 years, from a blank piece of paper to a £10m valuation. My new business is raising at a £1m pre-money valuation and the £250,000 minimum investment will give investors a 20% equity stake in the business (SEIS and EIS Advance Assurance granted). When the 1,000 members have onboarded, a new valuation will be determined for the benefit of the first 50 SUPER FOUNDING MEMBERS who collectively will own 10% of the business, and this will be at a minimum £5m valuation, in all likelihood higher. When conceiving the new business idea, I had a list of things which I wanted this business to be: 1) Internet and tech driven. 2) Global from day one. 3) Community driven, where kindness is a key core value. 4) Ability for revenue to grow very quickly. 5) Something I'd be really passionate about. 6) A business which would use my core skills of sales, brand building, management, organisation and making things happen. 7) A business which would be a lot of fun to put together and be involved in. We can't wait to get started. #Entrepreneur #NewBusiness #UHNW #Luxury

Want to know the difference between a high-net worth (including business owners) client and the average one? It's taking their shot. Everyone gets opportunities. They are everywhere. Everyday. The average business owner I meet isn't involved in some high-flying tech business. They are plumbers who realize people still need their toilets unclogged. They are daycare operators who realize parents still need their kids to be looked after. They are real estate agents who realize that people still need to sell their houses. The difference between those two groups is that one took action and the other didn't. Of course, there are risks, but those who took it bear the fruits of their actions. It's our job to ensure those who took those actions are as protected as possible so they keep taking those actions. So they can multiply their capital. Because you know: When people take leadership (starting or growing a business is just one way), we all benefit. Let's celebrate our entrepreneurs. Want more: https://lnkd.in/eM_Cdnui

We asked our kid-preneur ambassador to help spread the word about the first ever Buda Early Entrepreneurs Market! We are excited to encourage kids to pursue entrepreneurship, as it will help Buda build a foundation for a more innovative, skilled, and resilient economy. Here are a handful of ways these early entrepreneurs are vital to our mission: 1. Innovation and Creativity: Encouraging new ideas and solutions helps drive economic growth. 2. Skill Development: Focusing on entrepreneurship helps build problem-solving, communication, and financial literacy skills in the next generation. 3. Job Creation: Of course, these ideas might result in new businesses, which then create employment opportunities and reduce unemployment. 4. Long-Term Growth: Buda is invested in growing a pipeline of innovative thinkers and business leaders for sustained growth. So save the date & get ready to shop: July 27.

Family owned businesses are everywhere and they come in all shapes, sizes, ages and stages. What I see uniting them are, for instance, passion and commitment. Commitment to important things such as their employees, their local community and their legacy. And a real passion for what they do. Sometimes they have been doing it for many generations! The other day I was asked how many family businesses there are in different countries around the world. I'm pleased to share this image from Tharawat Magazine - Family Business & Entrepreneurship (link to the full article in the comments below). I think this ties in nicely with celebrating their impact on economies and societies globally. Generation after generation they continue to hone their craft or their entrepreneurial spirit - and often both. Do you know how many family businesses you deal with in your daily life? Are you familiar with any of them and their stories? From the really small to the very large. the LEGO Group is one of my favourite family owned businesses from my native Denmark. Venchi is my favourite ice cream. carpo is a place I never miss paying a visit to when in London. More to come in future post as I love buying from and celebrating amazing family owned businesses. What about you? Which family businesses do you love doing business with?

What's your favorite online community? For Entrepreneurs? Business Owners? Creatives? Shout out to https://joinhampton.com/ for being awesome. However, I am surprised more people aren't on this train. When I went searching for various online communities that build close knit ties with their memberships I run into all sorts of oddities. 1) Dead Links Everywhere. 2) Inactive Slacks. 3) Spam Filled Discords. So I want to build a list of actual reputable places. Please comment below on your favorites or DM me if they're too top secret to give away.
