Become Backable: Get People to Bet on You

Description:

No one makes it alone. But there’s a reason why some people can get investors or bosses to believe in them while others cannot. And that reason has little to do with experience, pedigree or a polished business plan. Backable people seem to have a hidden quality that inspires others to take action. We often chalk this up to natural talent or charisma…either you have “it” or you don’t. But after closely studying backable people -- from Oscar-winning filmmakers to iconic founders to Michelin star Chefs -- Suneel Gupta realized something: "it" can be learned.
