Nicole discusses the difference between a pitch and an ad, helps you prepare to create your pitch, then provides a simple but compelling framework to create your first pitch, and shares with you how to Add Wow! as you refine your pitch.  This course gets you behind the scenes with an experienced entrepreneur, coach and mentor so you better understand how to communicate your startup vision up front to partners, customers, potential employees as well as financial and busines partners. 

Don't kid yourself, many entrepreneurs fail in their attempts to build their startup, even if they have a great concept, strong team and are willing work hard.  Why? Many times it's because they don't know what they don't know, and they fail to tell their story in a clear and compelling way.  Don't let that be you!

The first job of an entrepreneur is to attract the resources they need, this course can help you get there.
