• Your network is your most important asset. 
• It's super-hard to stay focused these days. Get the right tools and build healthy, sustainable routines.
• Learn to say "No" graciously, and do it more than you say "Yes."
• Happy wife -- happy life. (ok, that one is pretty obvious)
• Strive to be a thought-leader and attract the right people to your vision.

Thanks for asking! Currently I'm focused on 3 objectives:

1. Advising companies with smart, hungry, and innovative founders. Right now I love b2b SaaS.
2. Helping fund-raise for portfolio companies.
3. Starting-up new businesses in emerging markets.

• Connecting people within my network. I've likely done this for you if you've been part of my network for awhile.
• I focus on giving more than I take. On giving: do it early and often. Don't expect to receive.
• Being mentored and mentoring. Do yourself a favor and take this shortcut; there's plenty of other mistakes to make.
• Sharing advice publicly. Yup. Check my Twitter feed if you need proof.

Lastly, if you're interested in some of the things I've mentioned here I will absolutely connect with you. Just hit me up with a clear request. If I can help -- I will.

Cheers // Nick
