The hardest part of being an executive: the AMOUNT OF READING you have to do to be prepared, well-informed on a subject matter & up to date with all the various aspects of leading a business. It’s bloody hard. It’s a never-ending stream of reading material. Just droves of management reports, inbound and outbound proposals, board packs, subcommittee discussion documents, strategy documents, performance data reports, financial data & still having the energy to excite a team toward an inspiring vision. And you have to read for comprehension, analysis and deep interrogation. And then, make sure you don’t forget what you read. Even after all these years, I still can’t digest how much reading one has to do. It’s a lot! VT

Raising money is all about your network, if no one knows you , you are going to struggle trying to raise.
