Extra Notes:

PRACTICE SPEAKING AHEAD OF TIME.  DIVIDE THE SLIDES AMONG BUSINESS OWNERS.  WINNERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD PRESENTERS.

• Your presentation will last five minutes.  Practice ahead of time, or you may be cut off.
• I don't care how many slides you use, but you need all this information in there.
• You will be speaking through the presentation.  You can use "key words" on your slides instead of typing up paragraphs.  This makes it easier for the viewer.
