There are a lot more speakers than doers in this world, and some of the doers can be more dangerous than an idle idea man or woman could ever be.

Every single good businessman knows this, and that’s why it’s not always easy to nail down financial support, regardless of how much you believe in what you do. Maybe we should recap our obstacles:

1) first-year business

2) first-year soccer business

3) first-year soccer business making up for an inadequate predecessor.

GO TEAM!

So it takes just one slip-up to murder your chances with a potential sponsor. For example, I had a mutually-beneficial idea for a high-profile company in the area and set up a 2 p.m. phone meeting. Long-story-short, an absurdly-early work shift, a fairly regular mid-afternoon nap and my perfectly-good phone alarm deciding not to work conspired to make one particular trek to a partnership harder than it should be (Look, I admitted failure. We all win).

Seriously, though, it’s fairly stressful stuff. The soccer stuff is child’s play in a relative sense, because Buffalo’s soccer community is unbelievable. The coaching pool, the elite player pool, the sheer number of soccer players supporters — you name it, we’re all set on that side.

That’s the most important one, but whether it’s $25 for a season ticket or $20,000 to save us for several years, it won’t be easy. The good news is, we’ve got a lot of action workers in the group, and that’s a good idea.
