Raising Private Money with Jay Conner
Are you a real estate investor who’s tired of missing out on deals because you don’t have the money to fund them? Maybe you’re just starting in real estate, overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice, and wondering how to break through.
Or you’ve done a few deals, but your business feels more like a hobby than a reliable source of income. If you’re struggling to take your real estate business to the next level, this show is for you.
Welcome to The Private Money Show with Jay Conner, where we cut through the noise to give you the truth about real estate investing—and the tools you need to succeed.

What if you could fund every deal you wanted, eliminate your competition, and grow your business faster than you ever thought possible?
Each week, Jay Conner—the Private Money Authority—shares exactly how to raise private money to fund your deals, close more opportunities, and build a thriving, consistent real estate business. Jay has been in the trenches of real estate investing full-time since 2003, and he’s still doing it every day.

Raising Private Money with Jay Conner
Power Your Profits: How Systems and Confidence Attract Private Funding for Business Growth with Dr. Susie Carder
Are you ready to scale your business, attract serious capital, and build true generational wealth? If so, you’re in the right place. In a recent insightful conversation on the “Raising Private Money” podcast, Jay Conner welcomed powerhouse entrepreneur and money strategist Dr. Susie Carder.
Dr. Susie is a self-made millionaire who has built and sold ten multi-million dollar businesses, including an eight-figure exit, and has raised millions in private capital. She’s worked with big names like Lisa Nichols and Paul Mitchell, but her genius lies in transforming ordinary entrepreneurs into wealth builders.
Here are the key lessons and actionable strategies any entrepreneur can use to power profits and scale to eight figures.
- Systems, Team, and Confidence Are Non-Negotiable
The road from $1M to $10M isn’t just about hustling harder—it’s about building smart systems, assembling a reliable team, and, maybe most importantly, developing the confidence to lead and attract capital.
Dr. Susie shared, “Business doesn’t have to be hard, but it does have to be strategic.” Too often, founders stay stuck “trading time for money.” Real growth kicks in when you have repeatable systems and people in place so the business can run without you. This is what investors are truly looking for—an operation that’s not dependent on a single individual.
- Raising Money is About Relationships, Not Just Numbers
One of the episode’s most memorable takeaways? “Banks look at your credit. Private lenders look at your character.” According to Dr. Susie, private money is first and foremost about credibility and trust. Investors want to know: Are you someone they can believe in? Do you keep your word? Have you built success—even if in a different field?
If you’re new to raising capital, borrow credibility from your network, mentors, or partners. Build a “badass list” of your past accomplishments and experiences for yourself and, when it’s relevant, for potential lenders. Don’t go it alone—bring in a board of advisors who can speak to your strengths.
Dr. Susie argues that raising money isn’t about money at its core—it’s about your confidence and your vision. “Raising money is not about money, it’s about your confidence,” she shares. When she exuded absolute belief in her project, it once secured her a $250,000 investment on the spot. If you falter, investors falter. Own your expertise and be bold in what you’re building.
- Clarity, Not Complexity
Another golden nugget? “Investors don’t invest in confusion. They invest in clarity.” Entrepreneurs sometimes over-explain, using jargon or complicated spreadsheets to compensate for nerves. But the best deals are those you can explain in simple terms—a single page should do it!
Focus on what, why, and how:
- What are you doing?
- Why is it needed?
- How will you deliver results for your investors?
Most private lenders are not Wall Street experts. Lay out your opportunity in sixth-grade language. Make it easy for them to say yes.
- Structure to Win (and Survive Setbacks)
Dr. Susie is a big believer in building businesses and deals on solid systems, not on “sinking sand.” She’s weathered economic crashes and lost millions; her success always came from her ability to rebuild, learn from mistakes, and set up operations that survive the founder. If you want to attract serious capital, you must demonstrate that your business will thrive—with or without you.
- Your Story Sells
Finally, remember that “your most powerful pitch isn’t a spreadsheet; it’s your story.” Investors buy into people and the purpose that drives them. Articulate your story, your passion, and your mission. When you stand for something bigger than profit, money naturally flows your way.
