Roughly 18 months ago (for the first time) we moved to the east coast after being offshore the last 13 years. I've been blessed to find an amazing cohort of friends at NYU Stern Executive MBA Program . Then, surprisingly, I was able to find an extraordinary workout team. Not only do they motivate me to be my best now and improve week by week...

“I have a joke that we’re trying to find something harder to do than investing in hedge funds,” said SWIB’s Derek Drummond.

1. Reflect: The average cost of a 30-second ad spot during the Super Bowl is $7 million. If you don’t have that type of money, what else can you do to make a similar, exponential impact?

Your Move: Be creative. Stop playing by the rules. Forget playing it safe. You're only one innovate campaign away from exponential growth.


2. Stat of the Week: 83% of HR managers find retaining employees more challenging than hiring them.

Your Move: Stop thinking that "recruiting" stops after you hire someone. From the minute you make an offer, you are constantly working to build loyalty and retain your team. it's not a one-off move; it's a 24-7 commitment to culture.


3. Strategize: For all the hype you hear about multiple streams of revenue, real wealth is created by expertise and connections in one arena.

Your Move: Spend at least a decade doing one thing at an elite level before you think about diversifying. And even when you do, branch out into areas that are synergistic with your core business.


4. Read: The New Gold Standard: 5 Leadership Principles for Creating a Legendary Customer Experience Courtesy of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company by Joseph Michell.

Your Move: Never stop learning. Instead of accepting your weaknesses, attack them by studying what worked for others and elevating your own game.


5. Perspective: If you don’t define your own values and principles, others will. If you don’t know your own boundaries, you will lose the respect of those who follow you.

Your Move: Be a leader! That means having the hard conversations and doing things that make others uncomfortable. The alternative to dealing with conflict is losing your credibility...and eventually your business.

YOUR NEXT FIVE MOVES


1. Analyze (Stat of the Week): 2024 is the biggest election year in the history of the world. 40 countries with a total population of 3.2 billion (and $44.2 trillion in GDP) will be holding elections. The includes U.S., Indonesia, Venezuela, Mexico, Taiwan, UK, India, and South Korea.

Your Move: Have plans in place for all scenarios. At a minimum, determine the worst-case scenarios (civil wars, contested elections, coups) and have five moves in place for your business and your personal life.

2.Strategize: We talked a lot on the podcast about how Twitter has lost 71.5% of its value since Musk took over--and I said that I doubt he cares one bit because he's a builder and a long-term thinker. A year ago, I said Twitter will be a trillion-dollar company, and I still stand by it.

Your Move: Drive short-term behavior to hit goals by incentivizing what fits with your long-term vision. Every time you put together a contest for the next month or quarter, think about the ramifications for the next twenty years.


3. Reflect: Have you broken any of your New Year's Resolutions? Have you fallen off any of your non-negotiables from your business plan?

Your Move: If you're casual one week into the year, what does that say about how the rest of your year will go? A bad day won't ruin a year, but a bad week will. Before you start week two of your year, do whatever is necessary to regain your focus and discipline. Share on Twitter.


4. Watch: The Club Shay Shay Podcast (Shannon Sharpe) with Katt Williams. In three days, it has more than 23 million views. One of my favorite quotes: “Winners cannot let losers rewrite history.”

Your Move: Pay attention to what's relevant in your industry. It's a fine line between overconsuming media and knowing what's important. This was worth my time.


5. Gain Perspective: When you're dealing with lawsuits, tax issues, and jealousy, remember that people who didn't start businesses don't have any of your problems.

Your Move: Love the game. Once you see that more issues are a result of more success, you start to accept the headaches and appreciate that you wouldn't have them if you hadn't gone after your dream.

Future looks bright!

For LPs, there are plenty of fish in the sea of alternative investing: almost too many GPs to choose from. Because looking at a firm's prior fund performance is not a foolproof method for picking future top performers, allocators need to pay close attention to other details. Asking the right questio...

Realizations are key this year, even for funds seeking re-ups, according to a recent survey of limited partners. The dreaded denominator effect, which has been front of mind for LPs since last year, appears to have lost some of its bite more recently, sources tell me. Public markets have improved, w...
