I think the managers schedule would be better called the entrepreneurs schedule. The reason entrepreneurs spend a few hours every day helping other people with their projects is so that once a year they can call in 300 favors over a six week period.

I bet most people reading this could do all of Richard Branson's job, with the exception of about five minutes a day. The problem is that those five minutes are where he makes millions and millions of dollars. The reason he's able to do this is because whereas the average person knows about 200 people, he knows more like 10,000 people on a first name basis.

Don't get me wrong, being the maker is deeply satisfying, but 9 times out of 10 being the entrepreneur is more leveraged.
