Dealing with uncertainty came up over and over this last month as one of the BIGGEST challenges you face. We heard you! Now it is time to do something about it. This dichotomy reminds us of the "Telephone Game" where one person would whisper in another person's ear, then they were to repeat that same thing to the next person. At the end what is shared after being "repeated" around the circle was NOTHING like what was initially said. We want you to get the most out of attending our events, and certainly more than just getting to know your circle at Startup Grind. We want you to gain the most from every group, meetup, event, and accelerator/mastermind that you decided to participate in and grow from. That’s who we are! ...One that really understands who you are and what you do. For many is a lot harder than it would seem. Because one of your Houston Startup Grind team's mission is “to educate” (the others are “to inspire” and “to connect”) entrepreneurs. We have developed an evening that is a fun hybrid of both learning and practical exercises. The goal is to give you the individual assistance to go beyond the typical introduction of your name, your business’s name, and what you do. The details are the key to a successful introduction. Building trust with sincere language (verbal + physical) and clear explanations takes practice and repetition to accomplish. This is a gap that plagues even the most seasoned of entrepreneurs. ...present yourself, your ideas, and gain adoption is the lifeblood for entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses. We will do this using: *( A media professional, investor, and professional speaker.) We chose these 3 areas of expertise because we know the importance for you to be able to shift your delivery and your message to appeal to the audience you are in front of right then. Give First (before you ask) Make Friends (not just contacts) Help Others (before you help yourself) To Educate, Inspire, and Connect Entrepreneurs Our global community of 400+ chapters in 120 countries worldwide is here for you. Let us know... How may we best assist you? (I.e. - Can we help facilitate warm introductions to businesses, mentors, and/or investors to grow your startup here or elsewhere?)
