What is the profile needed to become VC?

Covina High; graduated BBI for having successfully completed the Billionaire Business Coach Program level 1 and 2.

I specialize in helping existing companies maximize their profits while reducing their costs and overhead. This is done by an advanced restructuring system that analyzes many different factors of ones business, and identifies problems and pitfalls while helping them become profitable multi-million dollar enterprises. I am also considered an expert in assisting companies with securing funding. I have been connected with as many as 600 Private Equity Investors, Institutional Investors, Venture Capital Groups, and Angel Investors. Currently I host a weekly television talk show with an entrepreneurial format. It features a combination of entrepreneurs, celebrities, and human interest stories. Many viewers will be glad to know that that Tuesdays with Dan is now expanding nationally. The show airs on ABC in the Gulf Coast area covering South Mississippi, West Florida, and Alabama. Due to the shows growth and success, the networks have suggested a name change to allow a broader viewership and more opportunities. We will begin our sixth season under the name The Dan Vega Show starting in June of 2014. This expansion enables us to be in cities across the U.S.and air in over 40 million homes per week. We are set to go with this new expansion in June of 2014 and are very excited. Thanks to our fans for all their support."

If you could ask your favorite thought leader any question, who would you ask them? I actually have the opportunity to do this quite often. I am very interested to find out what a leaders definition of success is. This will obviously Give you some incite as to what drives them, but also will show you commonalities between all successful people. It's an eye opener!

I believe that great actors master the art of being someone else. Great speakers master the art of being themselves. Although, an actor may lend their personality to a role, they are working off a manuscript. These are someones else's words, thoughts, perspective's, etc. Generally an effective Speaker will prefer to use an outline over a manuscript. This allows them to not only put their personality into it but to freely create. Another benefit the speaker has over the actor is the ability to read his/her audience. This will help the speaker adjust and adapt to the audiences needs, instead of just delivering the prepared information. With that being said, I do think it is good to use humor in your presentations. I must admit, I do one heck of a Christopher Walken impression. 

  In my experience, when you seek a straight term loan, you will pay much higher than two points above prime (4 to 5%). Also when you seek a straight equity loan they will gun for 30 to 50%. Can you say Shark Tank? 

Someone asked me the other day "what was one tip I could give to make an impact on a young entrepreneur?" Always remember separate your vision from your strategy! When moving forward to accomplish your vision, you will experience much pain and discomfort. When this happens most will start to second guess the vision. Instead recognize your strategy may need some work. Successful Entrepreneurs constantly refine, tweak, and move!
