How do you deal with waiting on others your trying to do business with?

Currently im waiting on a few people and it seems i need one before the other and so on and so on.

So when trying to align A, B, C, and D unless you get things established with "A" you can literally do nothing with b,c,d....you need "A" first

Very frustrating waiting on others but sometimes when waiting for high-ups in some companies to make a decision it takes time... what is the best thing to do in the meantime or way to speed it up?

I call their offices a few times, then leave the message on 3rd call, then call the secretary blah blah, it seems it takes forever to get things done when working with larger companies which is really frustrating. Spent over a week dormant on something waiting for someone critical for the business.


Ive had this happen for two weeks before and i say ah they must have hated me then i get a call out of the blue saying ready to start? Very frustrating, it makes me almost want to just work a different company just to get it done faster. Im mostly talking about joint ventures.
