Definitely looking forward to the journey. Being completely honest with myself. Thankfully, I know that I'll be able to operate with an extremely low cost structure for the first few years. I'm not worried about my stock-picking abilities either. What I'm most worried about is attracting outside capital once I leave the incubator. This is what scares me.

Great article for emerging hedge fund managers. I realized that this business of managing money early was going to be hard when I was told by Chase Bank that they do not open checking accounts for investment companies. I have 3 business accounts with Chase, by the way. That singular encounter has framed my expectations of what to expect. You can't even market or advertise like a regular business. It's going to be hard, very hard.

I am reading books on how to develop mental toughness like a special forces soldier, consumer psychology, prospecting, sales and marketing.
