What a day. Leo me and the team had our first serious acquantance with the real world cut throat world of business. Not what its like in the case studiess I assure u.
Needless to say I will not divulge anything lest I am googled in the name of VC due diligence, but i will most definitely feel free in talking about the lessons learnt in this relentless, voracious pursuit to fulfilment. Thats right folks, its not all about the ching ching..lesson number one.
It is vastly rewarding to dream a concept, find talented cohorts, motivate those cohorts to share your vision, build the business and technical framework (aka business plan , Techncal documentation & whitepapers) and endure the grueling battle for venture capital..if you even need it to begin with.
sounds like a bore? really idont do this thing the justice it deserves.
Lesson number 2 learnt today: Trust your gut feeling when it comes to people(partners, competitors etc). 97% percent of the time..your intuition will never fail you - it is this invisible ether that communicates the unpalpable and seemingly imperceptible.
Lesson number 3: Never underestimate the neccessity of a STRONG TEAM. THis one..a lot of people go wrong on, simple and obnoxiously obvious as it may seem. Most 'superstars' oft
are so indulged in their semi delusional self confidence that they become insecure with the fact of having intellectual/skilled equal or superior. Weaker candidates ( such as myself :-) ), often find no qualms being amongst brilliance and energy will i refuse to concede are beyond my own..(did i meantion the weker lot are most oft in stubborn denial) - this is perhaps the ONLY way me and George Dubya have something in common - we have great teams. and TEAMS win far more frequently than individual superstars.
so i will step down from my high horse of fatherly advice and come back to earth hehe..more on the memoirs..promise to try to be faaaar more interesting next time..
