With that revelation,their pitch took a down turn and none of the panelists took the chance to invest.<\/p>\n Deciding on a business name is usually one of the first few things an entrepreneur does in business.Some entrepreneurs are lucky enough to have come up with the right business name without trying, many however have made a huge mistake from not thinking through this simple task.
If you are in the process of choosing a business name,i hope this post helps- https:\/\/biznessvirgins.blogspot.com.ng\/2016\/07\/how-to-pick-business-name.html<\/p>\n Anyway, here are some of my favorite quotes from Dragons’ den UK,some of them are comic others you can learn from<\/h3>\n“hello dragons”
“tell me why i should give you money from my children’s inheritance?”
“this is ridiculous,i’m out”
“i am going to make you an offer”
“i think you have the makings of a dream team here”
“you can’t come in here and say you don’t know how your business works”
“you just snatched defeat from the jaws of victory”
“i would rather paint my toe nails than invest in this business”
“give me a reason to invest in your business”
“what were you doing before this?”
“take me through your numbers”
“i am losing the will to live”
“i couldn’t work with you,we will drive each other mad”<\/p>\n I can go on and on,the show is funny,intriguing and gives me the reality check i need in business .<\/p>\n I recommend this show to every start up entrepreneur, it will definitely be “worth your watch”….<\/p>\n Yours truly,
