Right now it’s a combination of deliverables from team and vendors not being ready in time for client deadline, finding mistakes at the final hour, being pulled into several proposals I don’t have time for and trying to be a good husband and father at the same time. That balancing act is the hardest part when work isn’t going well.

OP what kind of stress do principals feel? For instance is it about hitting your target, about managing tough clients who might not give you future projects if your team f*cked up, or about internal politics etc? Curious.

Try some meditation. Even a few minutes can help bring the stress down. Won't solve any of these problems. But will help you take them on with a clearer head. There are a bunch of apps that can walk you through it

When to sell at a loss?

I’m 26 and have a fair chunk of my NW tied to Cloudflare - a tech stock that I believe has the opportunity to 3x and become a $100b+ company over the long term. Similarly, I have a lot in cloud computing etf - WCLD.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?

I would consider myself a “long only” investor, but am unsure what to do given my lack of diversif

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious?

But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
