Ally Greer's insight:
"The bottom line is that you only get one shot" - Inge Geerdens No matter what the idea is that you're pitching, what's important is the story behind it. When you want people to believe in your startup and where it's going, the most important thing is that they believe in you. Develop yourself, your story, and your passion with powerful words, and you'll be able to convince anyone that you can accomplish your goals.
