Every new business owner has to spend some time convincing others they are on a winner, and most blow it!
It’s not easy to convince bank managers, life partners, friends and investors that the brilliant idea you have deserves their support.
The problem is: the budding entrepreneur, YOU, seldom talk the same language as the potential stakeholders, all the enthusiasm in the world simply won’t convince them, you need to stop, SHUT UP, maybe take a Valium, but stop all the unnecessary chatter and concentrate on precisely what it is THEY WANT, NOT WHAT YOU WANT.
