				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok.  I&#8217;m going to offer a mini-series today on raising <a class="zem_slink" title="Money" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money">money</a> for your business.  I&#8217;m not going to do it alone.<img class="alignleft" src="http://www.trendlines.com/images/pics/coins.JPG" alt="" width="183" height="236" /> I&#8217;m going to call on some experts to come into the room and help explain this.  I understand some of this may be a bit esoteric if you&#8217;re not out there trying to raise money from venture capitalists.  But I think it is extremely helpful anyway, because anyone who goes into business will need to raise money and keep raising it for a good while until you pass that magic threshold when the business is self sustaining.  So, here&#8217;s <a class="zem_slink" title="Guy Kawasaki" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Kawasaki">Guy Kawasaki</a> ( and if you&#8217;re short on time, I suggest you at least watch the first video where Guy sums up 5 main points.)</p>
