And your work is "trying to run a $10B company?" Just write yourself a $10B check and consider it accomplished.
If you're going to conflate living your life with working hard, then you've got no reason to separate spending your money from making your money, and at that point it doesn't matter how much you're making.
People also have goals like "achieve something with lasting value" and running a company with a big budget is not intrinsically that. Especially when you're so prone to fail at it.
- AndrewKemendo 11y agoI think we're too hung up on the number. It has nothing to do, really, with the dollar amount of the company - that's just a proxy for impact/scale. I could as easily say "Be President" or any other things that are at that scale.

- AndrewKemendo 11y agoDoesn't scale as an individual. So your impact is basically limited by how much time you put in for each. On the other hand if you are trying to build Khan Academy or Udacity with that purpose, that would match my point of doing great things at scale.
