Pace Is Slow!

It’s been another busy week. As we’re getting closer to fruition on the site/lease front, I’ve been revamping investor materials (e.g. business plan, etc.) to include updated, recent information. We’ve also been in continued discussions with banks and leasing companies/brokers.

I’m continually frustrated by the pace. Things move far too slowly for my liking. I find new ways of pushing. I ensure the next meeting is booked before we leave the current meeting. I keep parts of my schedule open for certain initiatives. I’m diligent with my follow-ups, and use various techniques to ensure phone time is optimized. Nevertheless, the pace seems slow.

I’ve just returned from a board meeting with a local start-up. We had the same discussion. It’s all about pace, getting to revenue as quickly as possible, etc.

In many ways, ‘tis simply the nature of a start-up. In fact, ‘tis simply the nature of business also.
Now off to my home town for Easter celebrations. Two big meals. Taking some work with me, of course
