I've never been great with finances, so with that, obviously, the banks are going to laugh me out right away.
Shopify is the host of my website. It offers Shopify Capital, which doesn't have great rates, but it helps when need be. I've also had banks reach out. Well, I don't know if they're banks; I would call them loan sharks. I was denied at one point, and then all of a sudden it was, “Now you're ready for a big loan.” Well, by then I didn't need it.
Again, I don't think giving me $20,000 when I first started would have been a great idea, because I wouldn't have had a clue what to do with it, but maybe with a mentor and a bit of money, I could have avoided some of the blocks that I've hit so far. I'm not complaining about what I've done so far, but there are a few things that could have helped out and would have made it a smoother ride.
