Key Takeaways
Prioritize hiring experienced professionals over ambitious but green talent, as the increased salary costs are typically offset by significantly better results and less management overhead.
Be wary of 'project selection' bias; ensure your business ventures align with your personal strengths and market opportunities rather than just working hard on low-potential ideas.
The 'Sarahâs List' strategy involves joining mid-stage companies with approximately 1,000 employees (like Neuralink or Owner) to secure stable employment while benefiting from high-probability equity growth.
