    • Indeed. Having the right motivation is what separates succumbing to failure and continue striving for more. And in the world of dog-eat-dog businesses, start-ups need it the most.

    It's an interesting way to intertwine the connections, but doesn't such an approach short-change the connections in the earlier meetings? If the enhancement comes from the progression, maybe you need to schedule a second meeting with the first group at the end of the day!

    Interesting thoughts.

    I like the idea: accretion of knowledge over a days' worth of meetings; that increases the value you can provide to the remainder of the people you'll be meeting with later in the day. Smart!

    Quite an interesting idea to put all your meetings in one day, but i'd say this system only really works if the meetings have something in common. I don't think it would be good if you had meetings about different projects on one day. So you create a monolith meeting day around one project, that seems interesting.

    But, I often go out to eat or have a drink after the meeting, with those people. Sometimes we skip the meeting and the bar or restaurant is an even better place to be productive. (no charts! win win!) Your system is more formal in that aspect.

    My view has always been that meetings are basically pointless unless you give them value. And that can be done by knowledge, decisions made there and then, new information and most of all, as you mention, networking with the people you spend time with, you do business with. So to me, less formal is more productive.
