So when they said launching your own business is a rollercoaster, they weren't lying! 🎢 😱 🤩😭😂 Just over 3 weeks since launching BroadVent and already the sleepless nights have crept in (though I do hold my toddler partially responsible 😆). Though the reality is only 3 weeks, the concept of BroadVent has been a discussion for a while. We've had so many thoughts and ideas flying around the table, my iPhone notes has quickly become my most used app. And spoken as a true event manager, it's no lie I can find it a struggle keeping positive when things are out of my control or don't pan out the way i'd imagined. But in this new world i'm quickly learning to push onwards giving 110%, trusting the process and continually sewing seeds that will hopefully come to fruition over time. 🌱 The first month of being a business owner has been daunting, pitching for business and pushing through the "not right now" or "keep in touch" responses. But it's also felt insanely rewarding having some really exciting conversations with new, unexplored avenues appearing just around the corner. With this all said, we thought it would be fun to do a "12 days of Christmas" to share with our network some of the exciting things you can expect to see from the team over the next few months. Happy Friday all! #business #startups #management #personaldevelopment

It takes a special effort to get done on a Friday evening & then turn-up on Tuesday to get the ball rolling. In between it is #vibe with the #tribe. As a #community #builder it amazes me that every time I go to same place, there is something new to learn. As time has gone by… New members have joined in… Old ones are giving the space to the new ones & evolving with time. Last weekend, it was a similar experience to land up at End of Season party, meet the pilots both new & the old ones… Some couldn’t start their program & for some it was stopped in between all thanks to weather. What bought us together was #flying #food #lakeside & a place which we call it our own. That’s what #community is all about, finding your #tribe, a happy place, & growing with it. Creating these experiences in various setups and transferring the learning from one domain to another is what keeps it going. #community is everyone - different tribe, different vibe - that emotions binding us all. At Nirvana - it’s Peace, Bliss & Happy Landings. Sanjay - Melita - Apoorva Easwar What’s your go to emotions with #community ? Do share your thoughts in the comment section. #VinEatRepeat The Startups Funding Practice (TSFP) And if you are still wondering what community could do to you and your organisation. Ping me on LinkedIn & let’s chat about it. Signing Off on Friday…

No one teaches you how to be a go-getter or resilience to reach your goals, but as founders, it's a necessary skill set. In a world full of 'No' or 'Not Now,' entrepreneurs must have tunnel vision and a passion get 1% better each day. One takeaway I have from this journey as a start founder is to celebrate every win, no matter how big. QuikLiq has lots to celebrate!!! To date, we have successfully raised $314,500 through a family and friends round spanning from 2021 to 2023, Over $100K+ ARR, secured over 24 alcohol retail contracts, built and launched an MVP, secured 4 brand partnerships, and so much more. So to all my fellow entrepreneurs, current investors, active partners, and future partners and investors; Let's Build Together!!!..... as our company slogan goes, 'I'll Cheers to That'!"

Friends of Startland, Wow! It’s been an exciting year of change at our organization. When I joined the hardworking teams behind Startland News and Startland Education, I knew one thing for certain; these are people doing work that matters. I rolled up my sleeves and got to work alongside them. I quickly saw how Startland has inspired innovation that moves young people to launch thriving nonprofits and startups. It has helped our young people find solutions to real problems in our communities. I have seen teachers become more confident and passionate about their work — at a time when it’s never been more difficult for them. It has amplified otherwise untold stories of businesses started in and for their communities by the people who live there - women, people of color, and smaller local business owners. All of that work makes the experience of entrepreneurship accessible to all. But rest assured, we are just getting started. Here’s the thing I want you to know most as we end a year of growth at Startland – Our work is changing Kansas City in a big way. And we can’t do it without you. When you make a tax-deductible gift to Startland — you’re paving the way for young people to realize their entrepreneurial potential, teachers to reconnect with and reinvest in their passions, and helping deliver critical storytelling that opens doors and amplifies entrepreneurial success for starters in Kansas City. Gifts from supporters like you empower our teams to do and dream more. So, I challenge you to act. Will you join us? Will you roll up your sleeves and join us in doing work that matters? Whether giving $20, $200, or $2000, your gift will help us empower more innovation, changing lives and communities in Kansas City and beyond.
