Your funding has been approved with the bank or granted via investors—congratulations! Now, the really fun part can begin: the spending. You may have a sudden, overwhelming desire to spend to your heart’s content, but it is important to act responsibly and follow the spending plan laid out in your business plan if your business is to survive its critical early years.

Historically, the process of winning capital from limited partners has been opaque. However, in the last few years a few have started to use social media and become more transparent. I particularly like OpenLP.com, SuperLP.com, and the Origins podcast. A few years ago, I presented at an Invesco conference on Emerging GPs, and one of the highlights was a presentation by Laurie Weir summarizing CALPERS’ selection criteria under their Private Equity Emerging Manager Program Review.

If you have to ask, you know the answer, you just don’t want to do the difficult thing. But doing the difficult things — not the easy things — is what will define your organization and could be the difference between success and failure, because that person is taking a seat, and every seat has to be filled by a powerhouse.

Floors in commercial buildings are subjected to a tremendous amount of wear and tear on a daily basis. Most buildings get a lot of foot traffic. Because of that, you need to look for sturdy carpeting that can withstand whatever comes its way.

There’s a tenuous balance between telling someone what to do and giving advice. It’s especially difficult as a mentor, especially if you’ve previously been a CEO and are used to being “ the decider.” As a mentor, you aren’t the decider. The CEO you are mentoring is the decider. This dynamic is also true for many board / CEO relationships, where the board wants the CEO to make the ultimate decision.

My friend Bobby has a great new blog , and he recently posted, It Has to be Big , which really got me thinking, I’m definitely at a point where, if I’m going to get involved in something, I want it to have the potential to be BIG. To make an impact. To change someone’s life for the better. To that end, three years ago Adam and I created 48in48 – an event that builds 48 nonprofit websites in 48 hours with 250+ volunteers.
