Lecturing is fun - grading papers is not.

Restaurant is something I too wanted to do - but after talking to a dozen people who own one, I backed off. It is way more effort than I can put in and low ROI and high risk of failure

I just started dabbling in angel investing as well as mentoring since am interested in the world of startups but don’t actually want to run one. It’s quite interesting and you get to learn a lot.

Angel is an expensive hobby

Angel investing - more of a way to spend money than make it (although I think 1-2 of the 10 I’ve invested in look like they could return) - fun, I learn a lot about my sector from it and it’s more interesting to me than say collecting nice watches so even if it’s a write off it’ll have been worth it.

Do you have so much spare time? Interesting

How about absentee franchises? Has anyone done that? Is that worth it? Other things like owning ATMs or vending machines, etc.?

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.
