Team Collaboration and External Input

It's crucial to involve team members who are not emotionally attached to a project when evaluating investments, especially in Excel where data can be manipulated to seem more favorable than it is. Having diverse perspectives helps ensure that no one is simply convincing themselves of an idea without considering reality. This collaborative approach can prevent costly mistakes and help build a more resilient investment strategy. Regular discussions with trusted peers in the hospitality sector can also facilitate knowledge sharing and collective problem-solving, reinforcing the importance of community in navigating challenges.
