This This is great. Now everyone who is interested in A.J's project knows what he needs to pull off his mission and potential sponsors can see everything clearly laid out and know what it will take for A.J to accomplish his projectOk. But there are still some missing elements, what do the sponsors of his Expedition see in reciprocation to their investment? I had AJ create a deliverables page:

So now that sponsors know what they are going get, but it is still unclear what they are going to give. Only under very special circumstances will sponsors be willing to contribute the full budget of the project. The next step is to create sponsorship level document. The higher the investment, the higher the exposure. This way sponsors are enticed to come in at as high a level of involvement as possible but not committed to a high dollar sponsorship where they either have to say no, or spend more money than they would like:

Now A.J has a full working proposal to start connecting to people and accomplish his dream. This is the first step to funding any project and making a dream come true. Through this process A.J was forced to clarify his project, organize his thoughts and make it presentable. His next step is making the connections. Stay tuned to the blog as A.J. continues to move forward with his project and begins securing funding. It is a hard economic climate to get sponsors to fund projects so A.J's next lesson will be in perseverance and standing strong behind his vision.
