“The most important thing is to talk to people that have jobs that you ...” — Robert Pozen Quote

The most important thing is to talk to people that have jobs that you might like and to see what they say the job involves.

You have various institutions like law firms and accounting firms which bill by the hour. I'm really against that. You have an incentive to go slowly, be there as long as possible, to over-research things and over-staff.

The classic problem as an entrepreneur is that they have a hard time delegating. But that's really crazy. Recruiting other executives is critical, so is dealing with customers and dealing with regulators. Those are functions that only the top founders can do.

From the law firm's perspective, billing by the hour has a certain appeal: it shifts risk from the firm to the client in case the work takes longer than expected. But from a client's perspective, it doesn't work so well. It gives lawyers an incentive to overstaff and to overresearch cases.

My daily regime involves a lot of yoga.

When a role involves physical transformation, it helps build the character better.

I'm no good at really anything that involves motor skills.

Just the notion of falling for someone, that involves weakness.

If your work is done on the phone, then surely you can set up some kind of wireless system. If your work involves reading or writing reports, then this too could be done outside.
