Screening
Screening is a common step in the investment process that involves evaluating potential investments based on certain criteria to identify those that may be suitable for further consideration. This can involve reviewing financial statements, market conditions, and other relevant information about potential investments to assess their risk, return potential, and other factors.
Discovery
Discovery is a term that is often used in the context of the investment process to refer to the process of identifying and evaluating potential investment opportunities. This can involve researching different investment options, analyzing market conditions, and gathering information about the financial performance and stability of potential investments.
Due Diligence
Due diligence is a critical step in the investment process that involves thoroughly evaluating a potential investment to assess its risks and potential returns. This process can help investors make more informed decisions about whether or not to invest in a particular opportunity.
Negotiation
The negotiation process is an important step in the investment process, as it helps ensure that all parties involved are clear about the terms and expectations of the investment. It can also help investors protect their interests and ensure that the investment aligns with their goals and risk tolerance.

We all have different paths to success, some have achieved it and some have just taken the first step.
It's important to recognise that everyone's journey is different and that there is no one right way to achieve success. It's also important to be patient and persistent, as success often takes time and requires hard work and dedication. As Mentors we have all been through this before ourselves in our own IT Services Business.
Ultimately, the key to success is to set clear goals, work hard towards them, and stay focused and motivated, even when things get tough. It's also important to seek out support and resources that can help you achieve your goals, and to be open to learning and growing along the way.
