I guess the title is pretty self explanatory, but I've never been in this sort of position before: talking to people about business, getting involved with others, etc.

Between friends, family, strangers, mastermind groups, or other entrepreneurs, when it is ok to talk about actual numbers. Revenue, sales figures, profit, percentages, anything else besides the usual rah rah motivational hype.

The last thing I want to do is come off as having a big head.
