In this episode, Yakov delves into the common issue of investor commitment and explores strategies to overcome it. He shares personal experiences from a recent trip to Las Vegas, highlighting the importance of perception versus reality, a concept relevant to both capital raising and everyday life. He challenges the prevailing belief that raising capital is now more difficult and offers insights into building trust and delivering value to investors. Drawing on the principles of human psychology, Yakov outlines three key levers to increase investor commitment: social proof, trust-building, and incentivization. By understanding these levers, capital raisers can enhance their marketing and sales efforts and ultimately attract more investors to their opportunities.

In this episode, we explore the popular concept of "Who Not How" as discussed in the book co-authored by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. While the idea of leveraging others to achieve goals sounds appealing, there are nuances and misunderstandings that can lead to unexpected hurdles. In efforts to help you avoid hiring blunders, Yakov Smart shares insights from his extensive personal experience with hiring–shedding light on the importance of understanding the "what" and "why" before focusing on the "who" and "how."
 
Key Takeaways:
How to drive the vision with support rather than seeking a savior or specialist to handle everything Clarify roles by understanding the "what" and "why" behind tasks and processes Challenges can arise not from the people but from flawed processes Consider personality and generational differences Continuous improvement and learning from mistakes is key
