As I’m in a new contracting role, I’ve found myself evaluating work and what are it’s worths to my life. One of the most obvious is money. And I actually commented to someone that “I’m doing it for the cash infusion.” That’s pretty frighteningly like what might come out of an entrepreneurs mouth as he talks about taking some VC funding.That made me then think: What other types of unorthodox financing are available?We’ve heard of people maxing out their credit cards to fund their ideas. Those who inherited money from their family. But has there been any entrepreunerial women (or men) who’ve turned to the lap dance to fund their ideas?
This came to mind as I’ve read where some strippers who work in Vegas don’t live there and just fly in for select weeks/weekends when certain conferences are in town. They earn enough from that short period of time to live well for the rest of the year.Why not earn enough to fund that start-up?
Maybe the business has nothing to do with matters of an adult nature, but rather is a baby’s nappies estore and the spunky, go-getter mom who founded the company leaves the baby with her husband and heads to Vegas for a few weeks to bring home the bacon AND the venture financing.Would that mean that strip clubs would have to get detailed financial backgrounds on their customers? Would the SEC be following the money as it moved from the edge of the stage to the middle of the bosom (or other places too risque to go into here)?
