Jordan explained $25.2 million could fund many business ideas, but investment capital is not easily obtained. He explained a well-written executive summary and business plan are what investors want. However, investors do not solely consider business plans. They also look for specific character traits in entrepreneurs. Investors seek a trustworthy, dedicated, hardworking and passionate person.
