Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Brad Jacobs - Think Big and Move Fast - [Invest Like the Best, CLASSICS]

And I understand that because I've left many companies over there.

I've left five companies over the years that I built up to very large companies and it was time to move on.

There comes a point in time when it's time to move on.

It doesn't feel the same.

You look forward the next few years and you say, what do I want to accomplish?

And is that aligned with what the company is going to do?

And if it's not perfectly aligned, you don't have your heart 100% into that, you should leave.

You should leave and move on.

And if you feel the slightest bit bored as a leader, it's time to move on.

Because if you're doing your job right,

you're not going to be bored for one second.

You're going to go through every day.

You're going to have a to-do list and you're not going to get through a quarter of your to-do list every day.

Your to-do list is too short.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

And when you get to the point when there's some type of a been there, done that mentality, then it's time to move on.

For the first 10 years of my business career from ages 23 to 33, I was in the oil business.

And I loved the oil business.

It was this global business that back then in 1979 to 1989, there was no internet, there was no email.
