Quotables "To me, it's easier to answer a need in the moment than showing up on Monday and having 15, now significant needs, that require time." "Don't extend yourself, don't go out on a whim and think you can make it work. Make sure it works based upon the information and the due diligence you do behind that is paramount." "There's a lot of information and new stuff for you to understand how to make your investment shine and make it a long term engagement for whatever the next step is."
