> Hardly anyone has ever succeeded by pouring it into their jobs This might be the most relevant part of the discussion

  It certainly is a conundrum for startups, where after the founders, you're asking someone to commit career suicide by working hard for you.

    I think if you’ve decided that there is something wrong with the employer/employee relationship where hundreds spend their professional life working at someone else’s company, pushing ahead that person’s vision, and fulfilling that person’s goals, then you shouldn’t turn around and play an integral role in the same game you once despised, all because it’s much easier to succeed in business if you have a bunch of people devoting their working lives to your vision. I don’t know how to escape that model at a wider scale, exactly, but if I were worth millions of dollars, I think I’d have the economic luxury to invest some time to figure out how.

  It's also untrue. Many execs at companies moved up the ranks there and they probably did it the same way, by pouring their extra time into their jobs.
