@shaawasmund Could be a sign of genius… in reply to shaawasmund #
@shaawasmund If you can't present = fail! I've got to be honest. I hate that. Surely people should be able to see past that. in reply to shaawasmund #

@shaawasmund Great! But how? Investors don't like to read loads of long-winded business plans which is why 'Pitching' is so popular. in reply to shaawasmund #
