Without a scalable model, your business will be limited to the effort of the entrepreneur.

I saw an episode of American Greed this weekend, regarding a company called Remington Financial Group that charged an up-front fee to entrepreneurs in exchange for helping them find funding for their ventures.  

@Mike C.During our initial hour-long conversation, we discussed the rental market and how I founded ConnectLinx as a real estate investor, entrepreneur, and broker for a leasing agency, particularly how we were both upset when Rentlinx announced it was shutting down.

Any suggestions on where to start, what to look for, recommended reading or social events.

I promise it beats trusting social media gods.Investor list nurturing requires consistent communication.

The reason I picked this one over others is due to the following:1) Its syncs with Google/GMail & Calendar, and it has several "killer addons" for Gmail & Chrome, which is where I have all of my current contact info. 2) It only costs $15 per month, but, I believe that they have recently increased their initial price to $25.3) It's one of the only CRMs that is heavily centered around social media.

If you're willing to put the time, strategies like cold call, direct mail, door knock, PPC, social media might be worthwhile.

We don't spend more than we need to, but she wants to create unique products that both create solid financial returns and provide personal satisfaction and portfolio pieces for her social accounts, which fuel design consultation work, which also helps her earn money.Additionally, one thing we do in our houses, to project a high quality product into the world is very good fit and finish work.
