Is this thing on?
It is quite daunting to begin writing but I am determined to make it so. Why am I doing this?
- Writing forces clarity of thought, and I have many, jumbled thoughts at the moment
- I want to put myself out there more and stretch myself — I think lowering the bar to what is needed and avoiding perfectionism will improve my likelihood of career success and happiness
- I intend to at least at the outset treat this as a journal of sorts, helping me sift through ideas, work backwards from where I want to get to, and maybe over time, attract an audience (s/o to “Creating Your Own Yacht”, the inspiration for this)
Potential ideas or topics to go deeper on while I’m here
- My career progression
- Delineating between brokerage, public equity buy-side, strategic finance at a start-up, etc.
- Taking the plunge away from W2 to owning and running a business
- Deal sourcing
- Having conviction
- Immigration issues
- My favorite pieces of content of all time (I love the way Brie Wolfson has this done on her personal website)
- Sifting through themes, industries, and ideas for acquisitions
- Philosophy and how to get out of your own way
Probably time to quit while I’m ahead and stop there - brain dump #1 complete!
