Your PM should be used to handling this and learning to say no to things that are not critical. 

I use those miles when prices spike and it makes sense to use miles for a trip.. or in the past I only used the miles for international business class which is a great use for those miles and paid for first class tickets on all business trips.. keep in mind you get a ton of perks with first class tickets no charge on luggage no change fee no cancel fee special check in line plus special line for TSA if your not TSA pre check which we always are anyway.. sometimes a discount to the lounges which again are critical for the frequent flyers enjoyment and experience. 

Rejection is never easy, but the hundredth rejection is not as bad as the first.Approaching the right investors is also critical.

@John DunnWell, I would beg to differ... profit margin is always critical.  

If you mean critical path method, then yes.

I’m glad to see that you’re thinking critically!

Main thing is - it's critical as an out of state/country investor to build a team that you trust to advise you.

Any and all commentary, insight, guidance, criticism (constructive of course) is welcome.

I grew tremendously and learned how to analyze data and think critically and strategically. 

Timing is critical for this, so I'd appreciate your thoughts and opinions.
