I spent several years in an industry where we'd have call time at 6 or 6:30am, which meant a 5am wakeup. I am a night owl so needless to say it sucked. By the weekend all I'd want to do was sleep. The thing is, between shows my body cloc

A while back I worked for a company that didn't care about the schedule I worked so long as the work got done. Eventually I was rolling in around 11am to noon and leaving around 9-11pm. Having that place to myself in the evening was bliss

Unless you are already making a sh#t-ton of money, I'd just start the company in the States. It seems a bit "cart before horse" to spend all the time & money to offshore if you have no revenues yet.

Sure he could be sidelined if the paperwork is poorly drafted, it would all depend on how strong that 40% agreement is. Really if he wants to get something for all that work, 40% of a project that exists is better than 50% of one that doesn

I'd suggest agreeing to the 60/40 split. He'd feel like he got what he wanted & you would launch your 1,200 hours of work. HOWEVER, would it be possible to structure the 60/40 split so that any shares handed out in future rounds of fund

I'm with you on the food thing, being hungry truly sucks. There's a cafe I frequent that gives me a discount and I have bought many a hungry person a meal there. A nice addition is since the staff are friends the person is treated like a

I have a friend who was well off and was very much against handouts for most people. He would go on about people needing to get a job, pull themselves up and how not finding work was a lazy man's excuse. Then he lost his job, house, car,

Kudos for being successful enough to afford to build it. That said, a 27 story building with a staff of 600, 9 elevators and 3 helipads as a personal residence for your family of 5? Methinks a tad excessive.

Ah yes, spending 5 minutes and 15 texts to accomplish what a quick 30 second phone call would have done.

At this point the stock market truly appears to be by and for the big players who can process thousands of trades a second. For the rest of us it is basically akin to gambling in a fixed casino... that everyone knows is fixed.

Young or old, people often suffer "analysis paralysis" and cannot take that first step. I think this old joke sums it up. A woman prays every day, "Oh lord, please let me win the lottery." Months go by, years go by and still nothing. No m

One thing I find interesting is that with the ever increasing ability to telecommute and work from home, many very talented women are able to stay employed and have kids at the same time. Employment is there if you can think and work "outs

I was wondering when that South Park reference would pop up.

In my case it seems to reinforce my dislike of Twitter.

Funny, I know a fellow who is cutthroat when it comes to his fees and has repeatedly killed deals that tried to get cute with him & undermine his fee. That said, he is a multi millionaire and is usually taken very seriously even if he

Totally situational. The guy is a mover, not a heart surgeon. I certainly think that as the "stuffy old guy" generation of management is slowly replaced with the "hip younger guy/girl" generation, more interesting/unusual styles will like

True, it was a much lighter car, but it also lacked the high-tech machining that we see today. That such huge advances were made in all aspects but mileage is somewhat telling as to the priorities of the industry. Sell cars & sell gas

It always irks me that in 1908 the Model T Ford got 25 MPG and now over 100 years later we are barely doing any better. In 1993 Ben Rosen, (former chairman of Caltech as well as Compaq Computer) founded Rosen Motors with his brother Harold,
