After short time you realize you need to hire an experimented C.E.O. (hey, you are an investor and your motivation is to invest in more than one bussiness, you have great eye for bussinesses, right?).

Now, what is the minimum set of skills (setpoint [0]) for the C.E.O. you want to hire?; In no particular order here is mine:

• Strong sense of determination,
• Strong sense of urgency,
• Strong capacity of communication,
• Ability to work under stress and/or ability of finding solutions while in any chaos situation,
• Our C.E.O. must be a goal oriented person,
• Our C.E.O. must wear exactly what’s necesary in any situation and must impress people at first look,
• Our C.E.O. must be someone people wants to work with,
• Our C.E.O. must speak and write correctly, no ordinary vocabulary nor lack of a good vocabulary must be shown, ever,
• Our C.E.O. must have “good eye” for people,
• Our C.E.O. must rapidly adapt to any situation and win,
• Our C.E.O. must have a passion (or more than one) non work related (must be a “happy” person),
• Our C.E.O. must love his/hers job/task/mission/goals,
• Our C.E.O. always have to look into peoples eyes while talking,
• Our C.E.O. must wear a fine wrist watch,
• Our C.E.O. doesn’t need to be too friendly, he/she must transmit as well certain feeling of unreachability,
• Our C.E.O. must be well paid,
• Our C.E.O. preferably must have a fine car/truck for daily use,
• Our C.E.O. must demonstrate he/she can spend money at will,
• Our C.E.O. must want to have family (if not already),
• Our C.E.O. must know/like arts,

At this time I don’t think of anything else, maybe this list will be update sometime soon… So, what are the skills you look for in your future C.E.O.?

So, with a new calendar landing on my desk it’s time to finish analyzing the facts, the past actions, and the changes needed and put in practice ASAP the necessary activity to achieve this new set of goals for this upcoming year and luckily forming the correct path to obtain the “Kwan”.

This upcoming year starts with a fresh new look, big personal and professional projects, expectations and lots of positivism,  and as  Jerry Maguire’s mentor said “Hey, I don’t have all the answers. In life, to be honest, I failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my wife. I love my life. And I wish you my kind of success”
