What makes a good pitch deck? Creating a great pitch deck is like telling a good story. While there's no fixed way to do it, these are the key outlines according to my personal preference: 1. Cover Page: Include your one liner here 2. Problem statement: What are you solving? 3. Solution: How do you solve the problem? 4. Product demo: Show how your product works 5. Underlying magic: What makes your idea special 6. Biz model: How you plan to make money 7. Market size: How big is your market 8. Competition: Who else is in the game 9. Go-to-market: How you'll reach customers 10. Team: Introduce your team 11. Traction/Milestones: Share your progress so far 12. The ask: Ask for what you need No rigid sequence. Tailor your narrative to your audience, whether it's clients, partners, or investors. I wrote numerous deck version for Carpedia, each tailored for specific pitches. Any of these elements you'd like more insights on?

A “profitable personal brand” can be a hard thing to visualize. So here’s a picture of mine. This is me and my kids waiting for the bus to get to school this morning… …Because my license was randomly revoked for the next 3 months (and the government doesn’t actually care if that makes sense or not 😂😭. ) If this would have happened a year ago, this would have been a picture of all of us crying. There would have been no way my business would have survived me not working at a desk 10 hours a day. And without a license, my life is about to become MUCH slower. But I’ve spent the last year building a business that is set up to handle the realities of real life. And the reality is that “hustling” just doesn’t work when life keeps throwing out unexpected plot twists. Instead, I’ve focused on incorporating flexibility and tools that allow me to adapt to whatever comes up. So Here’s the “business strategy” I currently to attract my ideal clients, (which works a LOT better if you’re a human): 1. Being “authentic” online as a marketing strategy. 2. Having a “content funnel” that continuously generates a pipeline of clients who trust me. 3. Knowing how to confidently monetize my true value in 2024. This is the exact “plan” I used to find 3 new coaching clients this month (and it works for every industry!) But Please don’t think I’m telling you that I’ve got it all figured out. What I AM telling you is that you can find a different way to: - attract clients - share your expertise on LinkedIn - charge for your time, experience and expertise And still have the flexibility to live your life. You just need to be willing to unlearn all of the “rules” ;). Anyway thanks for coming to my TEDTalk. Now I’m off to find the bus to get back home!

No one else will do this for you ↓ (Let’s quickly do a backstory) I attended an event sometime ago and during the event, one of the panelist introduced himself in a way I can never forget. He effortlessly marketed himself, captivating the audience. Everyone wanted his business card. What’s my point? At every given opportunity, promote yourself.
