π Celebrating seven-year birthday for ICI Fund π
Jul 04th 2024
Happy Birthday, ICI Fund! π
Reflecting on seven years since founding ICI Fund, here is some of what I learned:
π° Itβs All About People: From partners and entrepreneurs to investors, co-investors, and portfolio clients, everyone plays a vital role in my journey and success. NEVER compromise on people.
π° Transparency is Key: Whether with partners, investors, or entrepreneurs, being open about the good, bad, and ugly helps us manage everything effectively.
π° Embrace Vulnerability: Being open and vulnerable allows entrepreneurs to see me as a human being, not just an investor, fostering authentic relationships.
π° Be Helpful Always: Offer help to anyone at any time.
π° Stay Humble: Thereβs always room for self-improvement and growth.
π° Accept Criticism: Not everyone will like me, and that’s okay. Balancing multiple tasks means some will be dissatisfied, but Iβve learned to handle criticism constructively.
π° Follow Your Passion: Pursue your passions relentlessly, and everything else will follow.
And lastlyβ¦.
π° Always wear Crocs, not heels! π
Looking forward to many more years of shared success and collaboration with all of the ICI Family. π₯
