Yesterday evening I found out I'd missed a deal I really wanted to get into.

First, I was disappointed. Then I realised that a year ago, I wouldn't even have had a sniff of this deal.

I wouldn't have known it existed, I wouldn't have had a warm intro from the lead, and the founders would have had no reason to even consider me.

My job is to ensure that in a year's time, I would get into the deal and that seeing deals of this quality is my default.

Challenge accepted.
