through "decision by calculation" and focus more on decisions than the work itself. Decisions are "path" decisions. Be on the right path. What exciting or hard decisions will I make today?

Decisions are the HIGHEST time/energy arbitrage in a company and life. We can get and calculate 6,000x T/E arbitrage by focusing on decisions and then delegating tasks. 10 $40 products over 100 days vs 50 $20 products with 10 hours dedicated to making a product choice decision

[X @jeremydbarr]

means the 10hrs making the decision is a 6,000x improvement on how we spent our time versus staying in the trenches on product one and not surfacing product two or employee two. DECISIONS are the highest value thing in a company and life...quantifiably. Very exciting to operate

Even the best investments have a slew of risks attached to them. So how can you convince a VC to invest regardless of those risks?

Answer: Prove that you’re the RIGHT person to do it. Being the best person to solve the problem de-risks many risks VCs have.
