I am going to write some stuff down. I cannot completely guarantee that any of it will be of interest to you. You (like me) have infinite options for your attention span. You have thoughts, opinions, gripes and anecdotes just like me; if you write yours down and they are interesting I'll read yours.
''Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.'' - George Bernard Shaw
I am fond of quotes. I will use them frequently to summarize thoughts for what I am going to write. If you do not like the quote, you will most assuredly not enjoy the post.
I am a 33 year old executive trying to build an Investment Banking franchise in a very small niche at a very challenging time and with very little experience. All of which has positioned me for one of two things; great success or great failure. This will be my third time in this sort of scenario. The first one was great. I learned about what I could do and couldn't--but more than anything I learned that building something was more important than just being a cog in a larger machine. The second one almost made me want to jump off a bridge. Both had moments I wish I had memorialized if not for my own recollection, than for my (or others) entertainment.
My disclaimer: please don't take anything I say here as Gospel. This is a running log of things that I wanted to have in a semi-open forum. I am not going to over think it. Take it for what it is and let me know how bad it is using humor and wit.
