Realigning expectations

Hi all,

This is Brad Loiselle, CEO betterU. I have not in the past gotten involved in these types of blogs because I just do not have the time and do not want to entertain the gossip and naysayers. After these blogs were brought to my attention by some of our shareholders, I decided to investigate more comments here and from another blogging group called CEO.ca. I do want to address the misconceptions and work to align people’s expectations to the reality of our business and our purpose.

There are many opinions, assumptions and false statements I do see here, so it is important to realize that if the news has not come directly from betterU, it is not factually and I would reply on it. I suggest that people do their own due diligence on us, on me and my leadership in order to truly understand the type of company and people we are.

While I could never ease the naysayers fully, I am hoping that you and they will see I do take my business seriously and I am protective of my personal credibility and those who have invested in our company.

betterU has been building infrastructure / operations, global education and employment partnerships, solid global team and leadership, professional board members, market visibility and credibility and much more.  If you also take the time to check out my past, look at my articles I have written on linkedin, the book I have written (Keep Moving 4ward), watch the videos of my talks around the world and truly understand why we have been building betterU, you will see our value.  Solving one of the world largest problems (education for mass populations) is not a simple task, yet after 5 years of effort we are closer then ever!

In regards to the $100M we are working on, there have been unfortunate delays with timelines that were perhaps a little too optimistic. We are also eagerly waiting to finalize as we have a lot of plans and people in place ready to support our growth. I do understand though that these things do take time and in business, delays do happen. Building a business is one of the hardest things to do as there are many moving parts to align with a vision that typically no one has done before. Having built many companies myself, I have experienced in these areas. It can be frustrating so I can sympathize with you, but at the end of the day, business is business and we are still moving ahead.  We are not waiting for the funds to close in order to continue forward with our goals. We are still closing deals, building global partnerships and focused on our vision to solve this problem. When the funds do arrive, it will accelerate our efforts significantly.

Lastly, many people in business do focus on revenue as their first priority as it is the lifeline for most businesses. The reality is that we are not like most businesses. Again, if you do your due diligence to understand what we are building, you will see that to build a really big company in the shortest possible time, with limited resources, focus needs to be on building unique value with barriers, not revenue. Revenue will come when you put in place all the right ingredients and we are on the right track to this. This type of thinking requires patience, vision and ability to make it happen. Again, review my articles as there is one that talks about how to build a billion-dollar company vs a million dollar one.

While we can never guarantee success, we are very focused as a united global team, vested and committed to make betterU a global success. For those who are supporters, thank you!  For those who are not, hopefully one day you will change your view of us. 

All the best,
Brad

thank you brad, your insight to the building of BetterU is a breath of fresh and logical air amongst all the naysayers. i have been invested in your company for quite some time and i havent sold a share yet. i see big things on the horizon far beyond just the 100mill investment. keep up the excelent work! 
Comment by BradLoiselle on Jun 20, 2018 7:13am
That is great. Thanks for your support! We are working hard to make sure all our shareholders will be proud of what we are building and in the end start changing our world for the better. BRad

A realignment of expectations would only apply to those that had their expectations misaligned in the first place. Maybe in the future you should hold off reporting on any mystery billionaires that think the shares are worth $3 whilst you are doing a 46 cent PP. It would minimize the probability of any greedy rube retail investors getting their value system totally "misaligned"....Which ...more

Of course Brad Loiselle would take the time to write on this board...... and make a bunch of typos and grammatical error.... lol
Comment by kozayagi on Jun 20, 2018 9:22am
Actually... that's exactly what happened. Brad has always embraced his typos and grammatical errors... has no one else on here read his book? He has a lot going on, I'm glad he was able to pop in.
Comment by jimjones18 on Jun 20, 2018 9:36am
holy some small time investors on here I see.

kozayagi - the other guy that just signed up and has only 3 posts, all on the BTRU bullboard. LOL!!!!

Loiselle has 2. First one being last night.... LOL!!!!

"has no one else on here read his book?" You mean his self published (Vanity) book? No, but the review sheds a little light on what you have just experenced and what I have been telling you. I will highlight the parts that show he is not afraid to ride the legal line. It is a shame that you pay the price for that "Loiselle’s self-published book is a bit preachy and over-written ...more

Tef I completely understand your position, and in fact there's nothing unreasonable about what your saying. I get the sense (as your handle implies) that your BS-meter is finely tuned and hyper sensitive, and of course that's prudent. There may be some ventures you don't engage in as they don't check all of your boxes. All good. Brad is one of the most "what you see is what ...more

"I'm not defending my long position, I'm just holding it. Let's just see what happens." Fair enough Koz. I have the greatest respect for any individual ,no matter how our positions may differ, so long as they conduct themself like a civilized adult. Stockhouse really could use a lot more of that. Tell you what. Lets review notes in 6 months and 5 days. Lets see ...more

I am surprised to read these types of comments that are factually incorrect, but most surprising to me and important for other readers it see is that you are willing to talk so poorly about someone you don't know personally and make statements/claims as though they are facts working to discredit me and betterU. Not sure to what end, but I am not hiding who I am becuase I know what I am saying ...more

I wish you nothing but the best and hope that over time you will see that I am not the person you are making me out to be here. Brad you are talking to a professional investor of 35 years. i became pro when my net worth crossed $1 million back in '83.  True business men never treally retire but I am scaled back greatly at this stage of my life.

Sorry but those sites provide the service. They are the equivalent of a brick and mortar consignment store, not a directory of other peoples stores that you can go to purchase products. Too bad you are probably too young to know the VCampus story. Their click throughs to educational "Partners" was a cyberspace revolution. They were going to educate the world with their clicks.

Comment by BurnerBoy on Jun 20, 2018 10:50pm
Thank you for proving my point. In 84 and even the 90’s the internet was FAR less accessible than it is now. So I’m not surprised it was a failure back then. And if you really did some research you would know even amazon went bankrupt in its early iterations. But as the internet became more widespread and accessible their business flurished.  It it may be time to hang up the ole investing ...more

Teflon2Hype is a 30 year investor? What the heck was he doing all this time? No money? I know for a fact he was investing in some real bad bankrupt companies a few years back. He harrassed people including myself who didnt agree with him. He owns no BTRU shares. His words are so bais so much like the fake news. I called him out he made threats in return. Im calling him out now.........so go home ...more
