- Accumulate as much experience from my job as possible. 10 people firm (financial services, investment management). Build a portfolio of skills that is both transferable and valuable

- Take far more risk with my own personal investing, play poker more regularly and often & approach more women

- Continue building a phenomenal network of high powered professionals, investors, start-up founders and established business men with a focus on private equity/venture capital. Follow up regularly and build a relationship

- Improve my communication. I'll do this by enrolling on a stand-up comedy course, toastmasters and blogging more regularly
