You said it already mate, “start” “up”. Offer your Investors creativity, innovation, and ability to disrupt the market and show the potential that your idea can turn the tide of the billion-dollar market. Show them that you are “start-ing to go up.” Part of the challenge for a creative business leader is to check in to your own poise and balance in a particular situation, and the balance and readiness to leap for your own business. So, what should you do when you sit across the table with an investor?
The answer is: Stand up from where you are, without thinking, without preparing. And when you are upright observing how your weight is distributed, without changing anything. Is more weight on one hip or the other? Are your knees “locked” (i.e., pushed back)? How are your feet positioned? Now take a moment and bring all your focus to your feet and your toes. Stand with your feet directly under your hips. Soften your kneecaps. Close your eyes. Is your weight balanced? What does it feel like to bring your weight very slightly forward? What happens if you rock back a little, or move to one side? How far can you go before your toes grip and remind you to keep balanced? Just notice what you notice. How might you describe the change between the first standing, without preparation, and the move to a more focussed balanced standing?
The answer does not mean you literally have to stand there, but you must focus whether your start-up idea is, “Standing up from where you are, without thinking, without preparing.”
