Three-Month Success Tours

Shaan proposes working as a "hired gun" for successful people by doing 3-month tours as their right-hand person. This approach treats early career development like dating - trying different roles and industries before committing to find the best fit.

    • 3-month commitment with option to extend if mutually beneficial
    • Flat fee of $5-10k per month
  • Target Employers:

    • 4-5 amazing people doing interesting projects
    • Focus on cutting-edge spaces and industries

  • Strategy:

    • If rejected, find next set of 5 people
    • Commit to doing tours for 2 years
    • Build relationships and earn trust with industry leaders
  • Philosophy:

    • Treat work like dating - experiment and have fun
    • Focus on learning what you like/what likes you
    • Don't rush into starting a company or picking a career
    • Optimize for long-term value (10-20 year perspective) over quick wins
  • Value Proposition:

    • Unmatched work ethic
    • Smart problem solving
    • Full commitment to their success
    • Fresh perspective and energy
