REMINDER: Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you have to. For me? This means taking on every single task myself—because I can. For so long, I’ve managed all aspects of investor relations on my own. I’ve always believed that the best way to ensure things get done right was to take complete control, from drafting reports to handling client communication. But this approach kept me locked into day-to-day operations rather than focusing on the bigger picture. Now, I’ve realized that just because I can do everything, doesn’t mean I have to. It’s about trusting in the systems I’ve built and understanding that focusing on what truly drives value—like expanding our portfolio and forging new partnerships—is where I need to be. Instead of being bogged down by daily tasks, I’m doubling down on strategy, and it’s already making a difference. I’m curious—what’s something you’re learning to let go of so you can focus on what’s truly important? #InvestorRelations #GrowthMindset #PrivateEquity #Leadership
