It’s great to work with smart people on something fun that people need . It’s even better when you get to work on a project that can make people feel better about themselves and their situation. I love putting the pieces of a puzzle together and connecting the dots. What’s challenging sometimes is lack of resources, time and money and having to explain over and over and over (!) what you’re up to!
I think they underestimate how long it’s going to get to market, and sometimes they jump in and try and DO something when sometimes the best thing to do is sit back, take some time and not do anything for a moment.
Don’t be afraid to close (the sale, the ask). If you’re looking for advice in a particular area of expertise make sure you get the best advice you can from someone who really knows the space (e.g. patents). Know your partners’ style well before you go into business with them and you’ve got to be able to trust them when the going gets tough.
