Two people argue that 40-60 meetings a week leaves no room for the deep thinking needed to make one critical decision monthly. Breakthroughs happen in uninterrupted 1-3 hour blocks. More meetings build your network and deal flow, but only if you have time to actually think.
allowing yourself the time and headspace to make that like one really important decision every month is like more our job than anything else. And I feel like that requires a lot more like time and space than 40 to 60 meetings a week provides.
100%. Yeah. A lot of the epiphanies come in these passive moments, right? Like where I actually have like a 1 or 3-hour block to really think through something and get to logical conclusions and talk to other people and really do deep research. So it's hard to integrate that in when you're just constantly like you know, pancaking around all these different meetings. And I think that was a cool epiphany. I think this job gets easier the longer you do it. Like everything is this positive flywheel that gets reinforced over time. Like you get to meet more people, they know more people, you build a brand, you build reps and trust with people, and they send you deal flow and they're open to hopping on calls and providing perspective.
