If you can't come clean and tell investors how and why you failed, that raises a red flag. They need to see that you learned from it and came back stronger.
needs looks exposure
I look to work with businesses that know what they are doing but need larger distribution or exposure.

As an entrepreneur, you love your business like a child, and you're taught to be laser-focused on the business.

It is very, very hard to do that ballroom dancing and I am going to be nowhere near it. Now if you have a hot dog eating contest, call me.
facts opinion sells
You can make up your own opinion, but you can't make up your own facts, go sell.
forever perception needs
The thing about branding is it isn't etched in stone. A brand is a mark or an image or a perception we stamp on a product, a concept or an ideal, but it doesn't last forever. Like anything else, it needs to be nurtured and reinforced, or it will start to fade.

The perfect breakfast is fish with grits and scrambled eggs with onions. I'm getting hungry thinking about that.

If I invest in a CEO, I need him or her to have experience in sales.
giving style want
Good grooming is integral, and impeccable style is a must. If you don't look the part, no one will want to give you time or money.

When you sell a product or service, you're making a promise to your audience. If you don't understand your audience, you'll never be able to keep that promise and you'll ultimately let them down.
choices black-history workforce
When you have a large amount of the workforce being laid off, some of them have no other choice but to go out there and invent something.
dream thinking energy
It takes the same energy to think small as it does to think big. So dream big and think bigger.
entrepreneur looks firsts
A savvy entrepreneur will not always look for investment money, first.
