Your Spouse Is Not Your Caddy
Pro golfers don't have their friend or spouse caddy for them.
They engage experts who can give them a read of the course and help them monetize their skills.
As a Private Equity / Growth Equity Partner, you have the opportunity to be paid like a professional athlete, assuming you can execute in a complex role.
But, most Private Equity professionals have no dedicated support.
With so much on the line, they go it alone.
Elite cyclists don't count on their abilities alone to stay the course;
an entire support team dedicated to their success follows closely behind them providing insights, observations, support and peace of mind.
A compassionate spouse, sibling, or parent can listen, but rarely has subject matter expertise.
Many of your friends are also your colleagues; it's possible they want your seat.
Sure you've got the raw talent. But if you want to sustain peak performance in a long and prosperous career, it's time to begin assembling a team around you. Starting with your own coach / consigliere.
