But look at your pocketbook. You've got to make this work. And don't expect anybody to give you money.”“Tone of voice is really important. When you ask for what you want to ask for, you have to make sure to do it in as friendly and non-pushy a way as possible. If you're going to ask for a lot, make sure to do it in a nice way because people are people. Emotions matter.”“Most startups fail. Not because they try too many ideas, but because they stick with the same idea too long.”“If you have to educate a person why they need your product, forget it.”
