  • Espresso and Olives . . . vs Starbucks

2 Understand what you really want. Money, choice, to change something. (Splashdown)

4 Have a simple business plan that defines the deal on one page of A4

5 You’re pitching to the TV audience, not the Dragons – there are only five of them and millions watching!
