This is the story of Réal; a real story.
Already leaving? You need to work a lot in order to succeed.
This stayed with me all weekend.
I was convinced that Réal was right until, the next Monday, the owner of the company came in and fired 80% of the staff. They told Réal that the company was closing… I think we both realized how wrong his approach was the next week when he came to the office and saw that the remaining employees were doing his work.
Be smart about your time. It's been proven many times that more work hours don't equal more results or productivity; it just makes us dumb and inefficient (not counting stressed). Use constraints as opportunities; figure out how to best utilize your time.
Don't be too stiff with business models, system as a service (SaaS) is not the only way to go (Flagback).
