Getting off the dime is the most important piece of any successful business launch. Pulling the trigger is the hardest thing for even the bravest of entrepreneurs. And it is hard, agonizingly hard, but it\u2019s what separates those who do from those who don\u2019t. Over the last ten years, I\u2019ve had the pleasure of meeting many people around the globe who have and have not been able to pull the trigger, both in the hedge fund world and beyond. The ones afraid of pulling the trigger I call the \u201cI\u2019m gonnas\u201d: \u201cI\u2019m gonna launch a fund,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m gonna raise assets,\u201d \u201cI really am gonna quit my job and go out on my own\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
This is a disease. It is something that people who are serious about going out on their own or starting a business, hedge fund or otherwise, need to get over or else, well, they\u2019re destined never to do anything. Sometimes you just need to take the plunge \u2014 jump in and see if you can swim \u2014 while making sure you don\u2019t sink. Getting going is key. To quote Nike: Just do it.<\/p>\n
As I wrote a few weeks ago, I believe now that the Dodd-Frank bill has been signed into law, its regulations put in place, and many of the questions about the actions of Congress and the President toward the hedge fund industry answered, the industry is poised for growth. I expect new fund starts to grow considerably in the next six to twelve months, even more if the Republicans take control of the House. The reason is that those who manage hedge funds, for the most part, are those who get things done. And while many of us expect additional regulation, the table is set and it is time to feed.<\/p>\n
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for a growth spurt, because it is coming. Investors want investments that zig when the market zags and managers now know for the most part what rules they have to operate under. No more excuses. Get going.<\/p>\n

While usually I use this space to rant and rave about something that is bothering me, this week, I\u2019ll do the opposite. I am happy to report about a positive experience that occurred over the weekend at Morton\u2019s in Hackensack, N.J. My wife and I went there for dinner on Saturday night; it was quite nice, good food, good service and a good time.<\/p>\n
There was a brief hiccup when we first got there. Had it not be cleared up \u2014 well let\u2019s just say this post would have been different! An assistant manager named Steve \u2014 no last names \u2013 stepped in, took care of the problem and went on to make sure everything else was excellent from that point on. It just goes to show you that you do get what you pay for!<\/p>\n
It is clear that customer service is an important part ofMorton\u2019s company policy, a policy many companies could learn from.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
