Doug Richard, Dragons' Den (Inspiring Entrepreneurs - Desperately Seeking Finance II)

[slapcompany]

When you don’t know what true for you, everyone else has unusual influence.

Values are deeply held personal beliefs that form your own priority code for living.

Values are the individual biases that allow you to decide which actions are true for you alone.

What are your values?

i can sum this video up in less than 40 words:

tell a good story

identify the risks

sell yourself

dont telll them you're jewish

[noelinematthews]

Doug Richards tells us what other straight talkers say. Tell your prospect a story.

He also says tell them the risks. That is very straight and welcome. The listener can choose what to do next. Great stuff in my book.

This guy looks and sounds like Steve Job =D

Awesome. I have some pitches to make next week. I'll be using his technique.... I don't really have a choice as I don't have any other technique to use. Hey, 'NewTracks001', just because he invested in a company that collapsed, does not mean he is not clever. It just means he made a mistake. Big deal.

I like this dragon best;at first i thought he was a bit anal and serious,but he never pissed anybody about,no bad puns and he never acted a stage madame ,he was either in or logically and justifiedly out. He was never smug or personal;you knew where you stood and why....

[DantesDump]

His idea was lame. Fodder for predators targeting teenagers.

[Aulelia]

Amazing!! So happy for this.

Spent 2 days with Doug Richard, he's incredibly smart and impressive in real life. This guy really knows his stuff!

[warp13]

Excellent. Very matter of fact and to the point. I have been watching Dragons Den for a few weeks now and I REALLY enjoy it.

[6ftund]

He's extremely fast thinking and to the point. He has all of my attention! Wow, what a sexy guy!

[monkeyflowers]

That was a good story. lol

I've only started watching Dragons Den on BBCA but I really like Doug. The editing and other dragons tend to portray him as too harsh or critical, but I think he is one of the more honest and straightforward of the dragons. Even when he's tearing down an idea, he seems to separate the idea from the individual, which is something a lot of entrepreneurs have a hard time doing themselves.
