As an underdog in business, you often lack connections, so make the most of any opportunity to pitch.
Show up prepared and deliver, because you may not get another chance to connect with potential investors.
Don’t feel like you need to follow the four avenues of approach in a linear or sequential order.
Address weaknesses early, such as public speaking or focusing as a leader; if you can’t overcome them, find a team member to compensate.
Quang X. Pham advises to replace the underdog feeling of inadequacy with the realization that nobody really cares about your insecurities.
When he was a young entrepreneur, he felt insufficient because he was a Marine veteran with no executive experience.
The feeling of inadequacy is often self-imposed; replace the insecurity with the realization that nobody really cares as much as you think.
People care about results, outcomes, and what you can do for them, not your resume or MBA.
