My day so far.๐Ÿ˜†  Actually, I had a ton of communications on my new company: investors, advisors, key men.  Specifically, the way I progress is to pitch one person until they are a true believer.  Then 2 things happen: they go off to pitch my idea to their network, and since that person is a trusted advisor to that network, my story is already accepted there.  Then, I go to my next convo and refer back to "Joe is on board", that tells the next person "hmmm...if Joe is on board, I feel good right away" then I give my pitch to person 2, and repeat.

In this way, I build a very powerful team that will all be rooting for me (because it'll be their money inside, they WANT me to win)...but more than that.  If I am pitching an idea, it's because I believe in it.  Truthfully.  I'm not faking anyone out.  And all I'm doing is saying "do you see what I see?".

And generally, because I'm experienced and may consider and throw away many ideas because I truthfully can't say to myself "I believe that's a winner", when one finally comes along and I poke at it for months trying to find a weakness and I cannot?  Ok, now I believe.  And others will too

In fact, in a venture capital pitch, the VCs will throw all kinds of barbs on why it won't work.  But I've already thought of all of them and more.  So when they say "it won't work for this reason", and I say "yes, I considered that possibility, but look here how you navigate that issue..."

That's what VCs are actually probing on - have you thought of it?  And if you have, what will you do?  And when they hear all the right answers, they're like "I will bet on this PERSON, they are skilled"
