????你提到了“愚蠢資本”,。我曾聽其他一些投資者也談到過這樣的觀點。

????“愚蠢資本”一般代表只適應(yīng)順境的投資者,，如果宏觀經(jīng)濟大幅度滑坡,，它們就會首先撤離。

????很大程度上,，無論是健身還是工作,，給你帶來名望的的都是你關(guān)于優(yōu)化生活的哲學(xué)。你怎么把這種哲學(xué)和創(chuàng)業(yè)活動以及許許多多每周可能真的需要工作很長時間的創(chuàng)業(yè)者統(tǒng)一起來,？

????我想一名創(chuàng)業(yè)者會有幾種截然不同的選擇,。創(chuàng)業(yè)者這個詞的覆蓋范圍很廣，為了簡單起見,，就讓我們把他定義為開公司的人,。他有全職工作，還有帶來收入的副業(yè),。情況可能會一直如此,。他們不必一定要成為純粹的創(chuàng)業(yè)者，也不必進(jìn)入硅谷這樣的圈子,，獲得風(fēng)投支持,，承受巨大的壓力。

????我覺得并不是所有的硅谷準(zhǔn)則都和每周工作四小時的概念一致,。不過，總的原則,，比如盡量提高單位小時產(chǎn)出,，在客戶服務(wù)方面采用80/20分析法以及將工作分為幾個批次，更適用于初創(chuàng)型企業(yè)，而不是其他環(huán)境,。原因是對于初創(chuàng)型企業(yè)來說,，效率低下所產(chǎn)生的成本非常之大。這些公司的唯一優(yōu)勢就是規(guī)模小,，速度快,，效率高。如果哪個初創(chuàng)型企業(yè)因為運作混亂而浪費了這樣的優(yōu)勢,，它就死定了,。這樣的公司一定會遭殃。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

????You mention "dumb money." I've been hearing that sentiment from some other investors as well.

????The "dumb money" tends to represent fair-weather investors, so if the macroeconomic takes a huge downturn, that's going to be the first money to flee.

????Much of what people know you for is this philosophy around optimizing parts of one's life, whether it's the body or the workweek. How do you reconcile that with the startup life and a lot of entrepreneurs who may work really long hours?

????Well, I think there are very different tracks you can choose as an entrepreneur. There's a broad spectrum, meaning the term "entrepreneur," let's just for the sake of simplicity say someone who creates a company, fully-employed at any company and have a side business that generates income. Which could persist indefinitely. They do not have to become a full-time entrepreneur. All the way to the venture-backed, high-pressure world of Silicon Valley.

????I don't think that all of the standards in Silicon Valley are congruent with 4-Hour Workweek. However, the general principles -- maximizing per-hour output, 80-20 analysis as applied to customer services, batching tasks -- all apply to startups better than in any other environment. Because the cost of being inefficient at a startup is so enormous. The only advantage you have is being lean, faster, and efficient. If you squander that by having fucked-up processes, you're dead. You're absolutely toast.
