Gearing Our Corporate Power Towards Member Initiatives

Hey TCC Members, David Waller here.

Travis Fairbairn and I were up late diving deep into how we can empower you. The focus of The Taking Initiative Podcast is shifting towards the "how-to's"—information about what to actually do inside the Community Corp. While we welcome members simply seeking a plan for sustainable wealth, our current emphasis is on how entrepreneurs can leverage our corporate capability to gain a financial tailwind.

The Power of Unison

We all agree that your network is your net worth. But knowing people isn't enough if there is no initiative taken. What makes TCC unique is that we take the corporate power of our network (1,500 to 1,600 members) and point everyone in the same direction, moving in unison. This collective effort, even participation in the lifestyle allowance, builds an economic powerhouse.

Flipping the Capital Problem

We are working to solve the endless cycle of fundraising by figuring out how to position ourselves not as a customer of the bank, but as a partner of the bank.

The traditional model (find the asset, then finance it as a customer) is suffering. Our better way is to start with the entity. We focus on creating and seasoning the corporate structure upfront, using TCC's existing value to help new startups.

We then set the market rate for the company, instead of letting the bank set the value. This foundation allows us to partner with banks for credit lines against the company, not an individual asset. This process grants ever-increasing access to favorable capital that scales with the business's growth.

Key Opportunities for Members

We need our people in place as we grow:

1. Operators: We need operators to run acquired assets and businesses. This position has the opportunity to earn a salary and in some cases equity % every year in the business up to a certain time-frame, providing true ownership and "skin in the game".

2. Partnerships: Successful, seasoned businesses can partner with us by plugging into a holdings company. This banks your value first and can essentially create $2 million of value out of a $1 million business, which could then be leveraged to start additional income streams or fund an operator.

TCC, simply put, is members capitalizing members. We are sharpening the tack (our and applying immense collective force (capital) to push it through.

My call to action is simple: We are looking for action takers, initiative takers. Bring your skills, and let us know what you want to tackle. Your skills are the primer on the blank canvas; together, we co-create the picture.

Go to capitolbuildingpartners.com (capital with an O), create a profile, and start learning and growing your plan. We will chat with you later—go out and take initiative!
