Question: What is one piece of advice most first-time entrepreneurs will get, but should actually ignore?
You Can Over Rehearse Your Pitch
"You need to know your stuff when you are pitching. There are no excuses. The hundredth time you give your pitch will be better than the fifth, and not as good as the thousandth. As long as you take the time to learn and watch your audience, just keep practicing. Sounding relaxed and trustworthy comes from confidence, not from spontaneity. "
Always Come Prepared With a Deck
"For investor presentations, many entrepreneurs are told to always come prepared with a deck. During initial meetings, we've found it to be more helpful to tell our story on an interpersonal level. This way we're not just looking at a screen; we're looking at each other and connecting."
